Starter Web Hosting

Free Web Hosting

The Starter web hosting is offered for free with each domain name registered with Infomaniak. It provides 10 MB of disk space to create a website (basic pages in HTML language only - no PHP, no database) even without any particular knowledge thanks to the Welcome Page tool.

 

Shared Web Hosting

The flagship offer to create your websites

These web hostings are shared offers (the websites will be hosted on servers whose resources are shared with other customers). To ensure the reliability of these shared services, Infomaniak servers use on average only 40% of the CPU power and are equipped with professional-grade, latest-generation SSD disks.

Web hosting offers a minimum of 250 GB of disk space and allows you to manage multiple websites with multiple domain names. This offer includes all the technologies usually used to create professional websites: PHP, MySQL, FTP and SSH access, SSL certificates and easy installation of WordPress or common CMS, etc. It is also possible to add a Node.js site and/or Site Creator.

Note that without any hosting, it is also possible to obtain and then use Site Creator “standalone / standalone”. Refer to this other guide.

 

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 you to use components that are not available on shared web hostings (Node.js, mongoDB, Sol, FFMPEG, etc.).

  • A Cloud Server allows you to easily manage your server via the same administration interface as web hostings - you manage the sites in the same way.
  • A VPS allows you to manage your server 100% autonomously with the version of Windows or the Linux distribution of your choice (Debian, Ubuntu, openSUSE, ...) - solid technical skills are required to use a VPS, including VPS Lite.

 

Public Cloud (and Kubernetes Service)

Open, proven, and secure IaaS solution

For Infomaniak, it is the infrastructure that powers kDrive, Swiss Backup, and the Webmail, services used by several million users. But Public Cloud is accessible to everyone and provides the resources you need to develop your projects.

With personalized and tailored offers, you will have no trouble managing your development budget. No setup fees. No minimum amount. Cancelable at any time. You only pay for the resources actually used with Public Cloud at the end of each month, the same goes for Kubernetes Service.

 

Jelastic Cloud

Custom web hosting with the technologies of your choice

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

  • Horizontal and vertical scaling of resources.
  • Payment based on actual resource consumption.
  • Easy customization of your infrastructure (redundancy, IP, SSL, load balancing, etc.).
