This guide explains how to add a synonym domain to a domain name. A synonym domain is a domain name that can be used as a secondary name for another domain.

Requirements

• the domain name or the management of its zone needs to be reserved with infomaniak
• the domain name must not be linked to a product and must be configured with our DNS
  (to find your DNS:manager.infomaniak.com > Domain name > your-domain.com >DNS Management > DNS Servers)

Adding a synonym domain to a domain:

1. open the Manager manager.infomaniak.com/
2. go to Domain name
3. click on the domain to which you want to add a synonym domain
4. click on Domain aliases the menu on the left
5. click on Add a synonym

The domain synonym will automatically restore the records (A Record, MX record, etc.) of the principle domain (including the Web/Mail hosting).
