Domain pointers allow you to make use of additional domains that point to the root of your main website. For example, if "www.yourdomain.net" is your additional domain, you can point it to "www.yourdomain.com." After adding your extra domain as a domain pointer, visitors will see your primary domain ("www.yourdomain.com") when they visit yourdomain.net.
Here are the steps to add domain pointers in DirectAdmin:
- Log in to your DirectAdmin control panel account.
- Click on "Domain Pointer" under the Account Manager section.
- On the directed page, click the "Create Domain Pointers" button, and a dialog box will pop up.
- Enter the required details, including your source domain and target domain, and check the "Create as an Alias" checkbox.
- Once you've filled out the information, click "Create."
- A confirmation message will appear, indicating that the domain pointers have been created. You can view the newly created domain pointer in the domain pointer dashboard.
