Add a site to hosting
This guide explains how to add a site to existing hosting, by having a second domain name (domain2.xyz) or by adding the site as a subdomain (abc.domain.xyz)
During this multi-site/multi-domain management (virtual host), the disk space and resources of your hosting are shared between your sites/subdomains.
Note: in the event that the 20 sites offered by web hosting are used, you can order additional sites.
Add a site or subdomain
- open the Manager (manager.infomaniak.com)
- go to Web Hosting or Cloud Server depending on your product
- click on the hosting/domain name concerned
- under Sites click on Add
- choose between adding a Domain or a Subdomain
- enter the name of the Domain (ex: domain2.xyz) or Subdomain (ex: abc.domain.xyz)
- By default the new site is added in the following directory: /sites/domain2.xyz on your FTP server
- To manually define its location, you will need to click on Advanced Options (above the Validate button) and check the box: Define location manually and finally indicate a folder name
- Under Advanced Options , it is possible to choose a PHP version different from the one recommended
- complete the procedure with the Validate button
If it is a subdomain or the domain name or its DNS zone is managed by Infomaniak, it is possible to automatically update the DNS entries and existing entries. Otherwise, make the necessary changes with your registrar or transfer management of the domain name to Infomaniak.
