I'm looking to convert my existing helioho.st domain to an alias for my custom .net website. I'd like it to point to the root directory - I'm a little confused about this part, as I just had the .net site added and it appears that the document root was set to /codecreature.net instead of the usual /httpdocs. The wiki on parked domains says aliases can only point to the httpdocs directory. Is there a way to fix the document root?

  1. username:Β prax
  2. alias:Β codecreature.helioho.st
  3. destination for the alias:Β codecreature.net

A root admin can set up the alias for you, I'll escalate this thread to their attention.

Someone probably just did a normal domain add. When we add domains, they automatically get set up as an additional website because our admin tools do not support aliases even though Plesk itself can handle them.

The domain codecreature.net has been manually converted to an alias.

It can take up to 2 hours to function.

Apologies if I was unclear - I'm looking to have codecreature.helioho.st point to codecreature.net, so the helioho.st site would be the alias and the .net site is the actual website. It looks like it's been set the other way around

You have to reset your account and start over to swap addon and main domains, because trying to swap them in the system will break the account. Resetting your account deletes all of your data and requires you to set everything up again.

There's not really any good reason to do this as your domains behave the same either way to the general public. It's just their appearance in the control panel that's different.
