1. A computer program product in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium holding computer program instructions executable in a hardware processor, the computer program instructions comprising: program code executed by the hardware processor to receive and store a data structure that identifies content provider domains, wherein at least one entry in data structure comprises a content provider domain that is aliased to an alternative domain, the at least one entry pointing to a configuration file associated with the content provider domain, the configuration file having at least one handling instruction associated therewith; program code executed by the hardware processor to receive a request for a resource, the request being received as a result of a domain name service (DNS) query to a content provider domain being resolved using the alternative domain in lieu of the content provider domain, the request for the resource having a host header associated therewith, the host header including a name value; program code executed by the hardware processor to determine whether the name value in the host header matches any content provider domain entry in the data structure; program code executed by the hardware processor to retrieve the configuration file when the name value in the host header matches any content provider domain entry in the data structure; program code executed by the hardware processor to apply the handling instruction in the configuration file; and program code executed by the hardware processor to serve the resource in response to the request after the handling instruction is applied.
