Thank you for choosing Infomaniak to host your WordPress site.

Introduction

• As a reminder, the WordPress website creation tool can be:
  1. hosted by the WordPress.com infrastructure (paid), in which case Infomaniak is not involved in hosting
  2. installed freely but manually by the user using the archive provided by WordPress.org; in this case, Infomaniak hosts the website but does not manage any updates and does not list the application in the Web Applications section of the Infomaniak Manager; this is the case if you migrate an external WordPress to Infomaniak
  3. installed automatically by the tool available in the Manager; in this case, WordPress is largely maintained (in terms of security) by Infomaniak
• This guide focuses on this third and final point.
• The Infomaniak installerautomates the installation and security updates of WordPress.
