Using Sub-Server Like Alias

Submitted by unsalkorkmaz on Mon, 08/21/2017 - 01:50

Hi,

Due to SSL requirements for all websites because of google, i had to find a solution for alias domains. There is a possiblity for 100+ alias on same server because of WordPress Multisite, so..

Is it possible to use sub-servers like alias servers?

Have you tried to create a new virtual server? It will ask you if you want to create an subserver as an alias of the current one.

I dont understand your suggestion.

It will ask you if you want to create an subserver as an alias of the current one.

Can you show a screenshot of it if possible? I dont have this option.

Maybe i couldnt explain properly.. We have a main server (main website which is a WordPress Multisite). Normally i am adding alias to this main website and using it. But now, i have to use sub-servers for alias domains because domains needs SSL.

Howdy -- hmm, I'm not entirely sure I understand your question.

However, it's no problem to enable SSL for all your alias domains. You would just include the alias domains in the SSL certificate. That can be done very simply using Let's Encrypt.

Otherwise, you can use Sub-domains or Subservers and have them redirect to your desired website, though they don't function exactly as aliases.

However, it looks like you're using Virtualmin GPL there. If you're using Virtualmin GPL, and you had any additional questions, you'd want to use the Forums for support. We monitor the Forums, along with logs of wonderful folks in the community. Thanks!
