Hello everyone
What is an alias?
When you have a domain name, can you call it something else with redirection?
And how, in practice?
I have a domain name but I would like to create a section on my site accessible via an address that doesn't use that name but another one (I haven't found it yet but it will be related to horses) How do I do that? Will I have to buy that other name?
Thank you for your advice

Oh! Thank you! Tell me if I understand:
I have a site: http://mondomaine.fr
I can create a directory www.dada.mondomaine.com
but I cannot create www.dada.com without buying dada.com
(sorry, I don't know what a DNS is)
Thanks again
