Hi Friends,

Please tell me about Domain Aliases. What is Domain Aliases?

How to use Domain Aliases feature?

Thanks

This is like you have two domain which are pointing to same page

Domain Aliases allows you to assign more than one domain name to one web site with Action you can have an unlimited number of domains pointing to a single web site.

For example, if you have the domain "mydomain.com" set up as an alias to the hosting account for "myotherdomain.com," anyone browsing to "mydomain.com" will go to the "myotherdomain.com" Web site.

Note: Using Domain aliases can have a negative impact on your site raking in many search engines and thus you run the risk of losing a lot of traffic from visitors to your site who follow a search engine link. To avoid this you can use 301 redirect which is also supported by Action. Search engine spiders will transfer your page rank and update any back links to the old page onto the new page when you use a 301 redirect. The code "301" is interpreted as "moved permanently."

For more information see "What is difference between domain aliases and 301 redirect?" also for information on how to set up domain aliases for your account please see "Setting up Domain Aliases?".

You should take note of this one. You might confuse SEs by using aliases and it could hurt the reputation of your site. And that's like a slap in your face.

Ya def. You do not want to get a duplicate content penalty.

Domain name aliases are additional domain names associated with your primary domain; they function with your current set of user accounts (nicknames are not included). For instance, if you own the domains abc.com, def.com and ghi.com, you can create a primary Google Apps account for abc.com and add def.com and ghi.com as domain aliases to abc.com. This will help you access all emails addressed to you at both user@def.com and user@ghi.com through your user@abc.com Apps account.
