How do I add Domain Aliases?

In order to point additional domain names to your website, follow the process mentioned below:

1. Login to your Control Panel, search for the domain name for which you have purchased the Web Hosting package and go to the Order Details view. Click here to read how >>

2. Click the Modify Domain Aliases button on the lower toolbar.

3. Here, enter up to 5 additional domain names as aliases for your website, and click Modify Domain Aliases.
 

IMPORTANT

For each Domain Alias that you submit, you would need to point this alias domain name to your primary domain name (for which you have bought Web Hosting).

This can be accomplished by either one of these ways:

Option 1

On the existing Name Servers of the Domain Alias, create 2 Address Records (A Records) pointing to your primary domain name. The Address Records can be viewed by clicking the View Name Server Details button within the Order Details view page of the Web Hosting Order. Notice the first 2 Address Records and request your current DNS Service Provider to replicate them for your alias domain name.

Option 2

If your current DNS Service Provider does not allow you to create these records, then you can follow the process listed below -

  1. Purchase Managed DNS Service from WEBSTAR (INDIA) for the alias domain name.
     
  2. Search for the domain name for which you have purchased the Web Hosting package and go to the Order Details view. Click here to read how >>
     
  3. Click the View Name Server Details button.
     
  4. Modify the Name Servers of the alias domain name, as per the details provided here. Click here to find out how you can modify the Name Servers, if you have registered your Domain Name with WEBSTAR (INDIA) >>
     
  5. Replicate for your alias domain name, the first 2 Address Records listed here. Click here to read how >>

Now, the website that you have created can be seen on all the domain names that you have set as aliases.
