CC supports aliases for content server "names" discovered by broadcast or bonjour. It doesn't support aliases for servers entered directly into the connection box. The reason: if you run multiple calibre servers on the lan then the user will be asked to choose between them when connecting. By default the user sees the name of the computer and the port. Defining an alias tells CC to show the alias instead. If you directly add the ip address or url then there is no choice to make therefore no ambiguity.
