Add an Alias

[ekklisia]

Hi, my username is ekklisia and I just restored my account and website on Johnny. My domain is now ekklisia.helioho.st. My old domain used to be ekklisia.heliohost.org. Is it possible to add that domain name, ekklisia.heliohost.org, as an alias? 

Thank you.

The heliohost.org subdomains are no longer available to users (they haven't been available for several years now, though legacy domains have continued to work). We had to limit the heliohost.org domains to staff and system domains because the actual heliohost.org domain kept getting blacklisted from places like facebook and marked as malicious in Chrome due to abusive or hacked users with these subdomains sending spam or setting up phishing.

We can add it back temporarily if it's needed, but there will eventually come a time where remaining accounts will be forced off of these domains. Is there a specific reason you need this domain temporarily?

I understand, there is no need to add it temporarily.

My website was known by Google with the old domain, and it will take time to learn it again. In the past i made many posts with links to the old domain name that will now link to nowhere.

I'll go ahead and put it back for now with a redirect to your new one for you since you have old links floating around out there. Please go through your content and update the links to use the new domain, as there will be a point where the old domain will stop working entirely. Until then, your old domain will automatically direct users to your new domain when they visit it, so the links aren't broken.

The alias can take up to 2 hours to function.
