Research direction
Look at the site create and site update commands in the EasyEngine codebase. Identify where /etc/hosts entries are currently managed for wildcard domains. Extend the functionality to handle non wildcard alias domains by adding a new host entry for each alias. Ensure proper error handling and privilege escalation since editing /etc/hosts typically requires root access.
