Update an alias site's document root

Hi, Of course with subdomains we can update the document root via cPanel > Domains > Subdomains > Pencil Edit (For each domain), however you can't do this for Alias domains. We have an alias domain, for example: website.io and the document root is setup to a custom location of /public_html/websiteio/ however we want to change that to /public_html/newsiteio/ We can't easily delete the domain because we have a few hundred subdomains all with custom document roots, we would have to delete every single subdomain before being able to temporarily remove the alias domain only to have to re-add everything. I'm trying to find the configuration file where I can update the document root or an option to delete just the alias domain temporarily. Any ideas?

  Hey there! The process would be similar to this, you would just only make changes for your specific domain instead of the overall cPanel account:

  It's not, but all the document roots are stored in the same location, so the process would be similar.
