An alias record provides an alias from one name to another. Typically, an alias record points to a name that is defined by a host record in the same zone. However, it can also point to a host name in another domain as long as that host name is defined somewhere.
Alias records are very useful when multiple names should be assigned to one host IP address. Unlike host records, multiple alias records for the same alias name are not permitted.

Click the link for the zone name where you want to create an alias record.
