Update 08/06/2026
Thank you for choosing Infomaniak to host your website.
Introduction
- Web hosting is a storage space available on a computer, also known as a "server," connected to the Internet and managed by a web hosting provider, Infomaniak.
- This storage space, made available to professionals and individuals, is used to install websites or other types of tools (CRM, extranet, intranet, etc.) that need to be accessible via the Internet.
- These guides will help you quickly learn how to use the essential features of your new product, your web hosting, which can host multiple websites.
Where to start?
- Create a WordPress website
- Build the site with Site Creator
- Install a web application (ownCloud, Joomla, Typo3, Drupal, phpBB, Simple Machines Forum, Magento, Prestashop, …)
- Manage your FTP accounts/users
- Manage and publish files on your hosting via Web FTP
- Manage your MySQL databases
- Add a website or subdomain to your hosting (multisite/multi-domain)including a Node.js website
- Link another domain name to an existing website (domain alias)
- Preview your website even if your domain name does not yet point to Infomaniak's servers
IMPORTANT: the domain name…
For a website to be visible to the public on the Internet, it must be associated with a domain name!
Is your domain name not managed by Infomaniak? Or is it in a different Organization than the one for your web hosting? Then, please refer to this other guide to configure the DNS or "A records" in order to link the domain name to your web hosting.
