Understanding the difference between hosting and a website
This guide details the technical and administrative aspects of hosting multiple websites on the same platform.
Technically
A hosting includes different websites. It is therefore possible to add multiple websites to a hosting (multi-site / multi-domain management). In this case, the resources of the hosting (disk space, databases, script execution time and memory, etc.) are shared among the different websites of the hosting.
The base Cloud Server plan contains a certain number of hostings (for example 5) and a higher number of websites (for example 20). In this example, this means that you can create 20 websites (with 20 different domain names/subdomains) that you can organize freely on your 5 hostings.
Administratively
At the Organization level on the Infomaniak Manager, management and access rights cannot be assigned to a specific website on a hosting. A user that you add to the Organization cannot have a right limited to a single site; they will always access the entire hosting.
At the server data level, however, it is possible to create an FTP user restricted to a specific folder (in this case, it will need to be limited to the folder where the site is located).
Limited management of one site among others on the same hosting can also be considered directly within the tool used for the site (WordPress user management for example).
