When a new web hosting service at cdmon is created, the domain must point to the hosting that has been set up at cdmon. While DNS is propagating, the domain may not connect to the hosting. However, from the very beginning, it is already possible to access it through the temporary subdomain created for this purpose:
mydomain.com.mialias.net (where "mydomain.com" is the domain name associated with the web hosting).
Utilities offered by using mialias.net
One of the main advantages of the temporary subdomain is the ability to migrate hosting from a different provider to cdmon without having to change the domain’s DNS, ensuring that the migration is correct. It is also useful when you have contracted a web hosting service and need to work with it before the changes have propagated across the network.
Services you can access with mialias.net
The temporary subdomain allows you to access the hosting via FTP, the phpMyAdmin database manager, and preview the website exactly as it will appear on the cdmon server.
To start uploading files to your web hosting, you can connect via FTP temporarily through the subdomain:
mydomain.com.mialias.net (where "mydomain.com" is the domain name associated with the web hosting).
You also have the option to connect to MySQL databases through the phpMyAdmin manager in any browser:
mydomain.com.mialias.net/phpMyAdmin (where "mydomain.com" is the domain name associated with the web hosting).
Once you have uploaded your website to the cdmon hosting, you can view it from any browser using the following address:
mydomain.com.mialias.net (where "mydomain.com" is the domain name associated with the web hosting).
How long mialias.net remains active
When your domain already points to the hosting you have at cdmon, it will no longer be necessary to use the temporary 'mialias.net' subdomain, as you will be able to work only through the domain name. In any case, from the hosting control panel you have the option to disable mialias.net. Please note that once you stop using the mialias.net subdomain and access the site through your own domain, you must review the website’s code and replace any paths or URLs that use mialias.net.
Likewise, you must do the same with the databases and check that there are no links or paths using mialias.net.
