Change a website's folder
This guide explains how to change the target folder where your Website is stored on an Infomaniak Web Hosting.
Preamble
- On an Infomaniak Web Hosting, it is possible to install several Websites with their own domain name (multisite management).
- Each of these sites is stored in a folder of your hosting, which is the target of the site. It is possible to freely modify the target of a site. Example:
- The site
domain.xyzhas as a target, for example, the folder/web… - You publish a site in a new subfolder of
/webnamed, for example,/web/v2… - By modifying the target
/webof the sitedomain.xyzto/web/v2, the sitedomain.xyzwill show the content of the folder/web/v2without obviously including this path in the browser's address bar and without leaving access to any files still located in/web.
- The site
- It is recommended not to create "
v2" in a subfolder of "web" but next to it, by creating the folder at the root of your hosting. - These folders actually exist on the server, but you are not required to connect via FTP to manage them.
