What is an Alias record and how do they work?

An Alias host record works like a smart shortcut for your domain. It allows you to point your domain (or subdomain) to another hostname, and our system automatically finds the correct IP address. Unlike a standard CNAME, an Alias record can be used for the main domain (root domain), not just subdomains.

To set up an ALIAS record in Spaceship:

  1. Go to Advanced DNS Manager.

  2. Select the domain you’d like to add a host record to.

  3. Navigate to DNS records -> Custom records.

  4. Choose a CNAME record from the suggested list.

  5. Insert @ in the Host field and fill in the Value field. 

  6. Select the Add button.

Your CNAME record will resolve as an ALIAS record.
