How to create server alias

Can anyone descrive in principle how a Web server alias is actually set
up? How do you get a server alias to point to a particular server with
a particular IP address within a large organisation? The outcome being
that when a user types the alias url into the address bar, the correct
page appears in the browser windowHi
Does it somehow relate to SQL Server?

Post this in question in Internet Information service(IIS) group. This is
done through IIS configuration.
This is SQL Server group.
