Site aliases
- Per-alias offline mode, robots directives, and canonical URLs.
Offline bypass
When the site is offline, key pages — Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and support pages — remain reachable so visitors and compliance links keep working.
Why use site aliases
Many organizations end up serving the same website from more than one domain — a legacy address, a regional variant, or a marketing domain that points at the same content. Site aliases let a single Mokonyx-powered Joomla installation respond to several domains while giving you control over how each one behaves, so you do not have to maintain duplicate sites.
Per-alias controls
Each alias can carry its own settings, which is useful when different domains need to be treated differently:
- Offline mode can be enabled for one alias while another stays live — handy when you are staging changes on a secondary domain.
- Robots directives let you control how search engines treat each domain, which helps avoid duplicate-content problems.
- Canonical URLs tell search engines which domain is the authoritative one, consolidating your SEO value.
Keeping critical pages reachable
Putting a site offline usually hides everything from visitors, but some pages need to stay available — your Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and support pages are often referenced by third parties and compliance links. The offline bypass keeps these pages reachable even while the rest of the site is offline, so legal links do not break and visitors can still get help.
