Domain Alias

ballooba

Hi,

I have recently moved a domain from Hosting365 to a Ryanair type crowd. The site wasn't making money so I couldn't justify paying for the extra bandwidth I needed for it.

Anyway, my new hosts don't know how to set up a domain alias.

I have a server with two aliases, domaina.com and domainb.com. When a user visits by domaina.com I want him to see domaina.com in his address bar all the time. I asked them to set this up and they set up a redirect from domainb.com to domaina.com.

How does one do this on Apache?

Also I want all mail from domainb.com to be sent to the mailbox on domaina.com i.e. 1@domainb.com goes to 1@domaina.com and 2@domainb.com goes to 2@domaina.com.

Have a read of this - Apache refers to domain aliases as virtual hosts.

You'll also have to seperately set up a mail alias in DNS and configure whatever mail server they are using to handle mail for both domains, in the same mailboxes.

So their http.conf should have:

NameVirtualHost *

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName www.domaina.com
DocumentRoot /www/domain
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName www.domainb.com
DocumentRoot /www/domain
</VirtualHost>

in it?

No need for two VirtualHost blocks, use ServerAlias.
