Adding a site or a subdomain to a hosting

This guide explains how to add a site (your-site2.com) or a subdomain (xxx.your-site.com) to your existing hosting.

During this multisite / multidomain (virtual host) management, the disk space and resources of your hosting will be divided between your sites/subdomains.

Step 1: modify your hosting package

Comment: you can move directly to step 2 if you still have unused sites, which is generally the case when you start with shared or Cloud hosting as we offer 20 sites in our basic package.

Open the Manager (manager.infomaniak.com)
Go to Web Hosting or Cloud Server depending on your product
Click the hosting/domain concerned
Click Manage on the Dashboard for the relevant hosting
Click Change offer
Under Site, select the total number of sites or subdomains desired
Complete the order procedure

Step 2: add a site or subdomain

Open the Manager (manager.infomaniak.com)
Go to Web Hosting or Cloud Server depending on your product
Click the hosting/domain name concerned
Go to Sites and click Add
Select the addition of a Domain or a Subdomain
Enter the name of the Domain (e.g., your-site2.com) or a Subdomain (e.g., xxx.your-domain.com)
- By default, the new site is added to the following directory: /sites/your-site2.com on your FTP server
- To manually define its location, click Advanced Options (above the Confirm button) and tick Manually define the location, then enter a folder name
Under Advanced options, you can select a different PHP version from the recommended one
Finish the procedure using the Confirm button

If it is a subdomain, or if the domain name or its DNS zone is managed by Infomaniak, the DNS entries and the existing entries can be updated automatically. Otherwise, make the necessary changes through your registrar or transfer the management of the domain name to Infomaniak: https://faq.infomaniak.com/1814
