I have 2 domains and both are on my server and both are registered by me. But the problem is that one of domains expired yesterday and i need to access it's data through the url urgently but i can't renew it in next few days.

So i can access both websites in my control panel and i can control everything about them, dns, subdomains, alias domains, etc...

As domain2.com expired, can i somehow create subdomain or alias domain of domain2.domain1.org and when i access that subdomain to show website from expired domain2.com.

I have tried couple of solutions with subdomains, and alias domain creation but no luck. I also tried to add a record to my DNS for domain2.domain1.org to point to domain2.com

Is there a possible way to redirect to expired domain? my control panel is ISPConfig if that matters and also i use nginx and BIND for dns.

Assuming that 10.1.2.3 is the IP address of your server, just add the following line to your client's hosts file:

10.1.2.3 domain2.com

...and then you'll be able to access it without issue.

You can do this by changing the hosting settings. Change the name of domain2 to xyz.domain1 in your hosting settings and give A record for xyz.domain1 in dns zone file of domain1.

This will sort out the issue.
