Alias Domains & MX Records

I have a client who likes to use multiple domains. His website is at one domain (web domain) and he likes to sue another domain (email domain) for his email which is on G Suite. cPanel account is for the web domain, the email domain is set up as an addon domain. Issue: Web traffic when someone goes to the email domain does not redirect to the web domain. Would this be a good use of Alias? Are the MX records going to alias? If not, what's the best way to set this up. Thanks!

  Hello, We provide a list of differences between aliases and addon domain names at: Aliases - Version 70 Documentation - cPanel Documentation Aliases still have separate DNS zones, so it's acceptable to add the domain name as an alias and use separate MX records. Thank you.

  Thanks Michael, I did read the docs but didn't see the part about separate DNS zones, thanks.
