Let us take a closer look at directadmin domain pointer and how to set it up. With the support of our DirectAdmin support services at Bobcares we can give you a complete overview of how to set it up.

Domain pointer in DirectAdmin

Domain Pointer is nothing more than an alias and domain parking feature in DirectAdmin that allows us to set up the same document root for two or more domain names.

Let’s look at an example of a domain alias: imagine we set up domain alias test.kh-demo.com for the principal domain kh-demo.com. As a result, when someone browses test.kh-demo.com in a browser, they will see the same content/webpages as the kh-demo.com principal domain.

Domain Alias and Parking are terms used in panels like as cPanel and Plesk, although Domain Pointer is used in DirectAdmin. Let’s look at how to configure domain pointers in DirectAdmin.

How to set up Domain Pointers in DirectAdmin?

1. To begin setting up the DirectAdmin domain pointer, go to the following URL to access the DirectAdmin control panel:

   
2. After that go to the Domain Pointers in Account Management.
3. To make a Domain Pointer, choose CREATE DOMAIN POINTER.
4. Enter the necessary information,
   • Enter the domain name we wish to park/alias as the source domain.
   • Target Domain: Choose a target domain.
5. Select the option Create as an Alias if we wish to make the Source Domain an alias of the Destination Domain.
6. Finally, click on the create button. Now we have successfully done the whole set up process for directadmin domain pointer

ENHANCED THEME

To access domain pointers in the DirectAdmin Enhanced theme, go to the main DirectAdmin control panel menu and select Advanced Tools, then Domain Pointers.

Assume we also hold the domain name hite-selper.com. In the above example, we’re constructing a pointer that directs all visitors to hite-selper.com to site-helper.com. Make sure to click “Add” after we are through inputting the source domain.

It is important to note that the pointer may not become active for up to 24 hours. This is because it takes time to update DNS servers globally. Now that we have set up the DirectAdmin domain pointer we also have the option to delete it.
