The test platform is a free service that allows you to have a hosting space without having a domain pointing to this test platform. This means that the test platform can be accessed with "internal" access, which is what we call with the ".mialias.net".
In this way you can access the web content of this test platform without having to hire a hosting or domain. The limitation of this web access is that it takes a user and password to view the content, which this information can be obtained in the management of its testing platform (
How to access the test platform)
After the development of the project is completed, it is time to publish the test platform. To publish the test platform, you need to change the platform to another hosting plan, in this case a payment one.
If the associated domain of your project has not changed, the website will continue to point to the
mialias.net having yet published the platform.
When you were developing the project on your test platform, the domain configured for your project was
domain.com.mialias.net. The publication all it does is change the associated plan, but it does not change the configuration of your project, which is why the change must be made manually.
How is it solved?
To make the page point to the main domain without the
mialias.net you have to go to your project settings and change the domain you aim. The process will be different depending on the CMS application (WordPress, PrestaShop, etc.) you have installed or whether your page is developed by hand.
Let's show how to remove the
mialias.net having a WordPress or PrestaShop installed
First of all is to log in to the phpMyAdmin of the new hosting:
You must enter the MySQL username and password to access the management of your databases:
Once inside, we select the database of our installation, if we have only one database, it is already self-selected:
We enter the table of "wp_options":
We edit the field."siteurl" and "home home", usually found on page 1 with the value (column "option_id") 1 or 3:
Here is the domain with .mialias.net, you simply need to edit both fields and delete the
.mialias.netof this route:
Access to the web will be with the domain you have configured in your database tables.

We enter the table of "ps_shop_url":
Within this table is where the associated domain of your PrestaShop is. You must go to the tables of "
domain" and "
domain_sl" and see if they have the
mialias.net on the route:
If so, this route must be modified by the domain without the
.mialias.net:
