2) In order to create a new domain, subdomain or alias, click on the Create a new domain button:

2.1) Enter the domain name in the domain's box.

2.2) If you would like to use the domain as alias, you can leave the box below ticket so the domain will use the same document root folder as your primary domain. Domain aliases make your website available from another domain name. For example, you can make www.example.net and www.example.org show content from www.example.com. See also:
