About the meaning of the Server aliases


hi, i want to know about the meaning of the Server aliases.could you please explain it for me.

Server aliases are additional names for your virtual host. Unlike domain aliases, they are not added to your DNS zone, and are registered only with apache. For instance, if your virtual host name is example.com and you also would like it to be available at http://www.example.com, you should add www server alias to the example.com domain.
