Add a site to hosting
This guide explains how to add an additional website to an existing hosting.
The hosting can be on a shared Web Hosting plan or on an Infomaniak Managed Cloud Server.
The additional website can correspond either to a second domain name (domain2.xyz for example) or to a subdomain (abc.domain.xyz for example) of a domain name you already own.
If the 20 sites offered by Web Hosting are already used, you can order additional sites.
During this multisite/multidomain management (virtual host), the disk space and total resources of your hosting are shared among your sites/subdomains.
Access the site management
To access a Web Hosting to add a site:
- Log in to the Infomaniak Manager (manager.infomaniak.com)
- Click on the icon with squares in the upper right corner of the interface (or navigate through the left sidebar menu, for example)
- Choose Hosting (under the Web and Domain universe)
- Click on the name of the relevant object in the displayed table
- Click on the blue Add button (in the Sites section)
- Choose potential content for the new site (A) or no particular installation (B)
- Press Continue
- Choose the type of domain that should correspond to this new site:
- an already acquired domain name
- a subdomain created from an already acquired domain name
- an available domain name that needs to be ordered
- Enter the name of the Domain (domain2.xyz for example) or the Subdomain
- Choose any Advanced Options, including:
- by default, the new site is added in the /sites/domain2.xyz directory on your FTP server
- to manually define another directory, check the Set location manually option and indicate the location and its name
- Click Continue
If it is a subdomain or if the domain name or its DNS zone is managed by Infomaniak, it is possible to automatically update the existing DNS entries. Otherwise, make the necessary changes with your registrar or transfer domain name management to Infomaniak.
