# POST /api/v1/hosting/pointers

> Create a domain pointer

- Group: hosting
- Tier: W
- Required scope: write:hosting
- Docs: https://api.inleed.com/reference/hosting/create-domain-pointer

## Description

Points `from` at the resolved domain as an `alias` (default — shares the site and zone) or a `pointer` (parked). Both domains must already be on the account. This is the hosting alias, not registrar delegation — to change where a domain's nameservers point use the domain tools.

## Body

- `input` — string (required). A domain, email address, website URL, or Inleed service id — for example example.se, info@example.se or 42976. Resolved to the owning account automatically, and the resolved target is echoed back in the response.
- `from` — string (required). The extra domain to point at the resolved domain, e.g. old-example.com.
- `type` — enum. alias (default) shares the target's site and DNS zone; pointer parks the domain. One of alias, pointer.
