A domain alias is the full domain name that will alias the main hosted domain for an account. When connecting to the domain alias name through a web browser, you will see the same web site as the main hosted domain. For example, if you had a domain "sampledomain.com" and added the domain alias "testdomain.com", then assuming both of these domains were registered to you, a user would visit testdomain.com and get sent to the original "sampledomain.com" site. Simply put, Domain aliases make your website available from another domain name. For example, you can make www.example.net and www.example.org show content from www.example.com. Domain Alias at EPhost, will also work with email. The email address at the main Domain will correspond to the same user at the Domain Alias. e.g. If your main Domain was "ephost.com" and you had a Domain Alias of "ep.com" then support@ep.com is the same as support@ephost.com.
