Add a website to a web hosting plan

Update 08/06/2026

This guide explains how to add an additional website to an existing Infomaniak hosting plan.

 

Introduction

  • Hosting can be on a shared web hosting plan or on an Infomaniak Cloud Server.
  • The additional website can be either:
    • a second domain name (e.g. domain2.xyz),
    • or a subdomain (e.g. abc.domain.xyz) of a domain name you already own.
  • In this multi-site/multi-domain management (virtual host), the total disk space and resources of your hosting are shared between your sites/subdomains.

 

Accessing site management

Prerequisites

To access a web hosting plan and add a website:

  1. Click here to access the management of your products in the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
  2. Click directly on the name assigned to the product in question.
  3. Click on the blue Add button:
  4. Choose the optional content for the new site (A) or another specific installation, blank space, advanced technologies (Node.js for example) (B):
  5. Click on Next.
  6. Choose the type of domain to assign to this new site:
    1. an already acquired domain name
    2. a subdomain created from an already acquired domain name
    3. a domain name that is still available and to be ordered
  7. Enter the domain name (e.g., domain2.xyz) or the subdomain.
  8. Choose any desired advanced options, including:
    1. By default, the new site is added to the /sites/domain2.xyz directory on your FTP server.
    2. To manually define a different directory, check Define the location manually and enter the path and name.
    3. Create a new folder if necessary:
  9. Click on 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 the domain name management to Infomaniak.
