As @andol mentioned, ALIAS records are not really an industry standard.
If you wanted to set up a redirect from one domain to another yourself, you can point an A record for both domains to same server. Then perform the redirect using Apache or Nginx:
there’s no the way then redirect for your purpose.
you have to set redirect on your web server level.
if you dont want to touch web server then you can use cloudflare page rule option. in that case you have to use cloudflare but i would recomend you to go for the first option (webserver)
