Shared web hosting

The flagship offer to create your sites

This hosting is shared hosting (the websites will be hosted on servers whose resources are shared with other customers). To guarantee the reliability of our shared services, our servers use on average only 40% of the power of the CPUs and are equipped with the latest generation professional SSD disks.

Web hosting offers a minimum of 250 GB of disk space and allows you to manage several Internet sites with several domain names. This offer includes all the technologies usually used to create professional sites: PHP, MySQL, FTP and SSH access, SSL certificates, easy installation of WordPress and common CMS, etc.

Web hosting + Service Mail is a web hosting offered with a Service Mail (email addresses) for people who want to manage one or more websites while benefiting from professional email addresses.

Cloud Server

Professional web hosting

With a Cloud Server, the resources allocated to you are not shared with other customers and you can customize the hardware and software configuration of your server according to your needs. A Cloud Server also allows the use of components that are not available on shared hosting (node.js, mongoDB, Sol, FFMPEG, etc.).

A managed Cloud Server makes it easy to administer your server via the same administration console as Web and Web + Mail hosting. You manage the sites there in the same way.

A Cloud VPS allows you to manage your server 100% independently with the version of Windows or the Linux distribution of your choice (Debian, Ubuntu, openSUSE, etc.). Strong technical skills are required to use a Cloud VPS.

Public Cloud

Open, proven and secure IaaS solution

For Infomaniak, it's the infrastructure that powers kDrive, Swiss Backup and our Webmail, services used by more than a million users. But  Public Cloud is accessible to everyone and provides the resources you need for the development of your projects.

With the help of our personalized and tailor-made offers, you will have no trouble managing your development budget. No commissioning fees. No minimum amount. Cancellable at any time. You only pay for the resources actually used with our Public Cloud at the end of each month.

Jelastic Cloud

Tailor-made hosting with the technologies of your choice

Jelastic Cloud allows you to create custom development environments with the technologies of your choice (PHP, Node.js, Java, Docker, Ruby, etc.). It is a flexible cloud offer:

• horizontal and vertical resizing of resources
• payment according to the actual consumption of resources
• easy customization of your infrastructure (redundancy, IP, SSL, load balancing, etc.)
