General domain configuration

Domain preview

If you want to upload and test your domain before updating your DNS so you can actually test it on a preview URL, you can set the domain aliasing option to yes. Then you will be able to browse using:

   https://dtc.example.com/www.example.org/

if www.example.org doesn't resolve yet to the IP of your DTC server.

Domain parking

You can set one or more domain to be "parked" to another one. Let's say you "own" both domains example.com and example.org. If you park example.org to the domain example.com (which is done by going to the general domain configuration screen of example.org and selecting example.com with the popup), then both the .com and the .org will have the same content. All email addresses set for the .com will be working in the .org as if you configured them there (like if you have joe@example.com, the mailbox joe@example.org will be configured just like the joe@example.com, and all email will be delivered to joe@example.com).

Now, there are 3 options for the parking. Here is what is behind the cryptic choice.

Redirection is the obvious one that will do a simple redirection (the website URL will always be the example.com one). The other 2 will keep the URL of the browsed site.
Same DocumentRoot will make 2 different apache vhosts, but using the same DocumentRoot, meaning that web statistics will be kept separately
ServerAlias will make a unique vhost for both sites, so web statistics will be aggregated as if it was a unique site.
