How to Delete Alias Server Virtualmin
VirtualMin is a Web hosting application that offers a user interface for administering a server and server-related components, such as databases, mail systems and domains. An alias is the term for a domain that points to an original domain name. For example, if you have the website originalndomainname.com, you can create an alias domain called aliasdomainname.com. When visitors go to aliasdomainname.com, they are actually taken to originaldomainname.com. This is useful to shepherd traffic to one site.

On the same line as "virtualmin delete-domain," type "--domain domain.name." Replace the "domain.name" with the name of your domain. For example, if the domain you wish to delete is called "aliasdomain.com," the entire line of code would read as: "virtualmin delete-domain --domain aliasdomain.com".

Tips & Warnings
You can also delete specific instances of mail aliases -- email aliases that direct to another email address -- by using the delete-alias.pl program, just as you did the delete-domain.pl program. Simply type in the domain of the alias email and then the alias email itself.
The delete-domain program does not prompt for confirmation. Once you press "Enter," there's no turning back.
