How to Create a Domain Pointer in DirectAdmin #
A domain pointer links a second domain name to your existing hosting account, so it displays the same website content — without creating a separate hosting account. This is useful if you own multiple domains (e.g., a `.com` and a `.net` version, or a common misspelling) and want them all to show the same site.
How to Create a Domain Pointer #
- Log in to your DirectAdmin control panel by accessing https://yourdomain:2222
- Select Domain Pointers (under Account Management)
- Click the Create Domain Pointers button (top right corner)
- Enter the Source Domain
- Enter the Target Domain
- Click the Create button
Before you start, make sure the source domain’s nameservers already point to our servers — otherwise, the pointer won’t take effect.
