Point Multiple Domains to the Same Website

General | Updated 2026

If you want multiple domain names to show the same website, you can set this up using domain pointers (aliases) in cPanel. All domains will display the same content from your primary site.

01. Step by Step

  1. Point the domain's nameservers to ns1/ns2/ns3.ultranameservers.com at the registrar where the domain is registered
  2. Log into cPanel > Domains > Aliases
  3. Enter the domain name and click "Add Domain"
  4. Wait for DNS propagation (up to 48 hours). See DNS Changed But Site Not Showing.

02. SEO Consideration

Having the same content on multiple domains creates duplicate content issues for search engines. To avoid this, set up 301 redirects from the secondary domains to your primary domain. Add this to your .htaccess:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?seconddomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://primarydomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

This way all domains lead to one canonical URL, which is better for SEO. For more on domain pointers, see What Is a Domain Pointer?. For redirect syntax, see .htaccess Guide.

Need Help With Multiple Domains?

If you need separate websites for each domain (not the same site), use Addon Domains instead. See What Is an Addon Domain? or open a ticket.

  3. Set up 301 redirects to avoid duplicate content for SEO
  4. For separate sites, use Addon Domains instead of Aliases
  5. Allow 48 hours for DNS propagation
