If you click on "Tech Specs" there's a table of feature and if you
mouse-over the aliases "?" icon it says

    "Maximum number of aliases for each mailbox. Alias is a forwarding
    address. It doesn't have its own storage but forwards e-mails to
    main e-mail address"

If you are required to nominate a main address on your domain and can
have one alias, that sounds like a limit of two addresses.
