Install ownCloud via WordPress & Apps
This guide shows how to install ownCloud on web hosting. Unlike other hosts, Infomaniak authorizes the use of ownCloud on its hosting:
- personal use of ownCloud is allowed on shared web hosting
- for intensive and professional use of ownCloud, it is recommended to opt for a Cloud Server
ownCloud is one of the applications (not developed by Infomaniak) that can be installed very easily on our hosting and it allows the implementation of a file storage & sharing system within a "cloud" that you fully control ( user management, permissions, quotas, associated mobile applications, etc.).
In the same place you will also find Nextcloud which is an improved version of Owncloud .
