Understanding the different Site Creator formulas
Infomaniak offers various Site Creator packages, free or paid, that cater to different needs. It is essential to fully understand the conditions associated with each type of offer before making your choice.
Understanding the different Site Creator offers
Site Creator is available…
- … either free with each paid web hosting:
- In this case, only 1 Site Creator can be set up per Infomaniak web hosting.
- To manage multiple sites created with Site Creator within the same Organization, it is therefore necessary to have multiple web hostings.
- … or independently (standalone in 3 versions) and does not require any other particular offer in this case:
- Site Creator Free
- Site Creator Lite
- Site Creator Pro
1. Site Creator Free
This offer is positioned as a test and discovery solution and is completely free. It is intended for users who want to familiarize themselves with the tool or publish a very simple web page:
- It only allows one web page and offers limited disk space (5 Go).
- This offer does not allow connection to a custom domain name (it will be in the form
*.infomaniak.site
) and includes the mandatory display of Infomaniak's advertising notice. - Important growth modules, such as full blog management, the use of Artificial Intelligence for text generation, or the "Site Map" feature, are not included.
2. Site Creator Lite
The Lite plan is Infomaniak's entry-level paid offer. It is ideal for creating a showcase website or a simple personal blog, as it eliminates the main constraints of the free version and unlocks the modules necessary for a complete site:
- It allows the creation of a more substantial site with a limit set at 5 web pages and more comfortable disk space (15 Go).
- It includes the offer of a domain name for one year and, importantly, the removal of any Infomaniak advertising notice on the site.
- Unlike the Free offer, the Lite plan unlocks access to important features for navigation and organization, including the Blog Creation and Management module as well as the Site Map module.
3. Site Creator Pro
The Pro offer is the premium formula of Site Creator. It is exclusively dedicated to the most ambitious projects, such as launching a complete online store, thanks to the lifting of all content restrictions and the integration of advanced commerce and analysis tools:
- It removes any content limitation by offering unlimited web pages and a large disk space of 50 Go.
- It is the only offer that integrates complete E-commerce management (orders, stock, discounts) and allows the integration of essential payment gateways (Stripe, PayPal, Mollie) for online commercial activity.
- The Pro plan is the only one to provide access to crucial external analysis and performance tracking tools, such as Google Analytics, Hotjar, and tools like Google reCaptcha.
Engagement related to paid offers
Unlike other Infomaniak products, some Site Creator offers include a free domain name. These offers require a firm commitment for a minimum duration of 12 months, with no possibility of refund, even partial, and this even if:
- you decide to stop using Site Creator before the end of the first year,
- you cancel your products,
- you close your user account or your Organization.
Evolution of offers and preservation of your site
It is possible to switch from a free offer to a more comprehensive paid offer:
- Click here to access the management of your product on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
- Click directly on the name assigned to the product concerned.
- Click on the chevron Manage.
- Click on Change offer:
It is also possible to switch to a higher offer (for example, from Lite to Pro).
However, it is not possible to downgrade to a lower offer or to return to a free offer once a paid offer has been activated.
If you wish to keep your site active, you must necessarily renew the same paid offer. It is not possible to switch to a free version of Site Creator, even if:
- you do not use any of the paid modules,
- your site has only one page.
What to do if you want to return to the free offer?
In this case, you must:
- Cancel your current site after manually copying all the information you wish to keep.
- Activate a new free Site Creator offer.
- Recreate your site by pasting the contents retrieved from the old one.
