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.

1. open the Manager (manager.infomaniak.com)
2. go to Web Hosting or Cloud Server depending on your product
3. click on the hosting/domain concerned
4. click on Manage on the Dashboard for the relevant hosting
5. click on Change offer
6. under Site, select the total number of sites or subdomains desired
7. complete the order procedure

Step 2: add a site or subdomain

1. open the Manager (manager.infomaniak.com)
2. go to Web Hosting or Cloud Server depending on your product
3. click on the hosting/domain name concerned
4. under Sites click on Add
5. under Domain name, enter either a subdomain (xxx.your-domain.com) or a domain name (your-site2.com) you own
6. under Site folder, select or write the directory in which the files of the new site/subdomain will be stored
7. 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://www.infomaniak.com/en/support/faq/1814
