I apologize if this has been answered elsewhere but I've searched everywhere for a solution. I have 2 domain names for a website. domain1.com and domain2.com domain1.com was the first one created on the server. I added domain2.com as an alias. When I visit domain2.com in a web browser, it changes to domain1.com in the address bar. Is there any way to fix this? If a visitor goes to domain1.com I want it to remain that address in the address bar, if a visitor goes to domain2.com I want it to remain domain2.com in the address bar. I dont want it to redirect, I want it to work as an alias.

  Hello, This is because of a redirect, either via .htaccess or a PHP redirect. If you are using WordPress for example, it will use a PHP redirect to ensure the domain you have set in the settings is the domain that is redirected to.

  Yes, it is a WordPress site. So I'm guessing the only solution is to create it as a separate site with a separate WP database?

  That is correct, WordPress will only allow one domain per install.

  Hello, This is an issue with how WordPress configures the site URL. You may find this WordPress URL helpful: Topic: Multiple URLs with same code base. " WordPress.org Forums Thank you.
