Our web hosting offers the possibility to add several additional domains in addition to the main domain depending on the hosting you have chosen.

There are 2 types of managed domains, "Alias" and "Alias domain".

What's the difference?

- The "Alias" function will point to the "web" directory (Web Folder) of your hosting which is used by your main domain. You can also create a redirect to your main domain.

- The "Alias domain" function will allow you to point your domain to a separate directory (Web Folder) in your hosting.

Examples

Let's imagine that the main domain of your hosting is
www.abc.be
and you have WordPress installed.

- If you want www.abc.fr to arrive in your WordPress, create an Alias.

- If you want www.abc-sa.be to be redirected to www.abc.be, create an Alias with redirection type "R=301,L"

- If you want www.abc.de to arrive on another WordPress, create an "Alias domain".

How to create an "Alias domain"?

Go to the ISPConfig management panel of your hosting and click in the top menu on “Sites”.

In the left menu, in the "Websites" section, click on "Alias domain (vhost)". Click “Add new Alias ​​domain”.

Enter your domain, the Parent website, for example "abc.be" (note: you only have to choose if you have purchased several hostings and they are within the same account, if you only have 1 hosting you do not have to select anything), and give a name to your Web Folder (example: "abc.de").

You can choose whether or not to enable SSL and "Let's Encrypt" in this form. Finish with the “Save” button.

The "abc.de" directory will be created automatically after 2 minutes at the same level as the "web" directory of the main domain.

All you have to do is upload your files via FTP or SFTP, or install a new WordPress via the Aps installer.
