Domain aliases allow you to point several domain names to the same website. This can be useful, for example, for branding purposes.
To set up a domain alias in Plesk:
1. Go to Websites & Domains and run the Add Domain Alias wizard.
2. Specify the domain for which you are creating an alias (the primary domain) and the alias’s domain name, for example alias.tld, and set up the following:
Note: If a domain alias’s DNS zone is synced with the primary domain, you cannot modify resource records in the alias’s DNS zone.
For example:
You have an email address mail@domain.tld. Then you set up an alias for domain.tld, for example, alias.tld. If you select the Mail service option, all mail sent to mail@alias.tld will be available at mail@domain.tld. Otherwise, the mailbox mail@domain.tld will not receive mail sent to mail@alias.tld.
To avoid this, you can use redirection with the HTTP 301 code (Moved permanently) by selecting Redirect with the HTTP 301 code. In this case, only the primary domain will rank in search engines. Learn more at http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=93633
