Alias DNS Records
Alias DNS Records
An ALIAS record is a virtual host record type which is used to point one domain name to another one, almost the same as a CNAME. The important difference is that ALIAS can coexist with other records on that name. An ALIAS record can also be used if you wish to alias the root domain to another service (which you cannot do with a CNAME record).
In short, an ALIAS record allows you to specify a hostname in your DNS records which then resolve to the correct A/AAAA records at the time of a request.
To create an ALIAS DNS Record, go to the Domains tab, click Manage DNS. Scroll down to ALIAS Records and click Add Alias Record:
Host Name: You can leave this default or specify a subdomain Destination Host: URL of ALIAS
