Adding and Removing Domain Aliases for Your Containers

With aliases, you can connect multiple domains or subdomains to a single container. For instance, you could render the same website on example.com, example.net, and example.co.uk.

It’s a very simple process within the Webslice Console to create or remove aliases. You will also need to update DNS records to point each domain to your server’s IP address.

Every web container is created with a www. alias already in place, so you don’t need to add this yourself.

How to Add New Aliases

You can add multiple aliases in one go. Just remember to update DNS settings as well.

1. From the main Containers screen, open the container you want to manage.
2. Open the container’s Aliases tab.
3. In the text box, enter the full domain name or subdomain for the alias.
4. New empty fields will appear for any more entries you want to make.
5. Click Save Aliases.

Note

For every alias you create, you need to configure DNS records to point to your server’s IP address. If you’re not sure how to do this, your domain provider will be able to help.

How to Remove Aliases

1. From the main Containers screen, open the container you want to work with.
2. Open the container’s Aliases tab.
3. Hover over the alias you want to remove. A red ‘Delete’ icon will appear.
4. Click the red delete icon.
5. Click Save Aliases to confirm the change.
