I could be wrong, but even in the Alpha days, I don't think online multiplayer was even possible (if it was it was very buggy). And even if it is, who is even going to be online in that version? most servers today don't even support anything older than release 1.8.
However you can still play that version offline by clicking "launch options" in the launcher, enabling "historical versions", adding a new launch option, clicking the version dropdown menu, and choosing an old alpha version.
It was possible, the same way it is now. You ran the server software and people logged in to it. But it was indeed extremely buggy. On the up side, tools didnt degrade, and there was no fall damage. On the downside, minecarts were so buggy, they weren't worth using, among other things.
I don't know if the alpha server software can be downloaded anymore, at least not officially. but yeah, it really isn't worth it outside of a quick nostalgia trip.
