Excellent! I would like to mention that I do have the IP address included
in all my hosts, I just left it out while typing up my question. I
reformatted to put the alias after the pound sign instead of before, and
now it works.
As for the multiple hosts, I am planning on disabling all normally enabled
network tests. I do not need them for the monitoring I'm doing.
Thank you everyone for your help!

Try something like:

Don’t do that. That means the server will look for a client reporting in
with that name instead of testhost. That’s not what you want as that will
affect alerting, analysis, etc. You want to use the name tag as another
post has pointed out.

Also, as a side question: If I were to add the same host three times under
3 different aliases, with all the network tests disabled, would that cause
any issues within Xymon?
I don't think so.
The only consequence is Xymon will complain about multiple hosts entries.
On the duplicates you need to put noconn or put prefer on one of the lines
so it knows which of the duplicate lines to prefer for test configuration.
