How to Park a Domain (Domain Alias) in Webuzo

Parking a domain — called a domain alias in Webuzo — makes a second domain name show the exact same website as your main domain. It is perfect when you own several versions of your name, such as .com, .net and a common misspelling, and you want them all to land on one site.

When to use a domain alias

You bought yourbrand.com and yourbrand.net and want both to open the same site.
You want a shorter or alternate spelling to reach your main website.
You are protecting your brand by pointing look-alike domains to your real site.

Steps to park a domain in Webuzo

First, point the extra domain’s nameservers to your server — see updating nameservers.
Log in to the Webuzo Enduser Panel.
Go to Domains and click Domain Aliases (also labelled Parked Domains).
Enter the domain you want to park and click Add.

From now on, that domain displays your main website automatically.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a parked domain and an addon domain?

A parked domain (alias) shows the same site as your main domain. An addon domain hosts a different website in its own folder.

Do I need a separate SSL certificate for a parked domain?

Yes — to load securely, add the alias to your certificate by following the Let’s Encrypt SSL guide.

Why does my parked domain not show my site yet?
