: How can I alias domains to subdomains? I have a main site with a bunch of subdomains created. Each subdomain is a blog and I want each blog to have its own domain name i.e. thisguy.com ->

I have a main site with a bunch of subdomains created. Each subdomain is a blog and I want each blog to have its own domain name i.e.

thisguy.com -> blog1.mainsite.com
thatguy.com -> blog2.mainsite.com

I bought the new domains and I set up the CNAME records as above to alias them to the appropriate subdomains. However, I get my hosts "a domain is pointing to one of our servers but we don't know anything about it" landing page.

How can I set up these domains as aliases of my subdomains?

: Yes. Anything you set in .htaccess you can set in the Apache configuration. What you'll do is add the directives from your /admin .htaccess to your /backup directory context.

This is probably an issue with your Apache setup. You'll need to add

ServerAlias thisguy.com

To the blog1.mainsite.com vhost config. It goes in the same level as ServerName.

You need these entries in the .htaccess file at the root of your hosting (i.e. where mainsite.com goes)

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^thisguy.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.thisguy.com$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http://blog1.mainsite.com" [R=301,L]

and so on for thatguy.com and blog2.
