# Domain Name Aliases Overview

You can translate an original domain name to a new domain name via the translate command. The command allows you to create domain name aliases; that is, the grouping of multiple domain names into a single domain name. You can partition PPP subscribers with the same domain into separate domains, based on the PPP interface.

| Note: Partitioning subscribers does not cause modification of a user’s name or domain.

When you use aliases, you greatly simplify the configuration process. When there are a large number of domains and you use aliases, it reduces the configuration volume, thus requiring less NVS and memory usage.
