This guide explains how to manage the files of a Web Hosting with an FTP software/client.

Preamble

• To easily and quickly manage the files of your web hosting without having to install an application or enter FTP credentials, use Web FTP from your Infomaniak Manager (it allows, among other things, CHOWN and file compression/decompression zip).
• The various services offered by Infomaniak are all compatible with the corresponding standard protocols (FTP/S3/Swift for storage, for example), therefore if you encounter a problem with a third-party software, contact its publisher or a Partner and consult the support policy as well as article 11.9 of the Infomaniak TOS.
• Regarding the protocols supported by Infomaniak (FTP, SFTP, etc.) depending on your hosting offer (Starter, Node.js, etc.), refer to this other guide.

Parameters to provide for FTP software

Prerequisites

• Create an FTP/SSH account.
• Install an FTP software/client such as Filezilla, Cyberduck, Commander One, Transmit, etc.

Regardless of your FTP software/client, the 3 essential parameters for configuring an FTP access are always:

1. Hostname: FTP server address
2. Username: FTP account name
3. Password: that of the FTP account
   
    
   • The port number is usually left at default.
   • The connection type and mode is usually left at default.
   • If a limit on the number of simultaneous connections is offered, it is recommended to activate it.

Obtain the connection information to the hosting

You will find all the information on your Infomaniak Manager:

1. Click here to access the management of your product on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
2. Click directly on the name assigned to the product concerned.
3. Click on FTP (or FTP / SSH) in the left sidebar
   

1. FTP Hostname

The hostname to use in your FTP software/client is specified at the top of the page obtained in point 3 above and an icon allows you to copy the address to the clipboard.

Starter Offer - Basic Web page

If the domain indicated is not functional (does not point to the hosting IP address for example) then use the IP address as the host name, in the form 123.45.678.123 (refer to this other guide).

Paid Web Hosting

Use the host name in the form xyzb.ftp.infomaniak.com for example.

2. FTP Username

The username is the name of the account to be created in your Manager: xyzb_abcdefg for example.

3. FTP User Password

The FTP user password is defined by the creator of the FTP account. If you forget it, edit the FTP account by clicking on it and set a new password.

Once the connection is established…

When you enter the 3 required parameters, your FTP application should display the directory structure of your hosting:

This guide covers the support of secure hash functions (including SHA-256) by Infomaniak servers, as well as the emphasis on the security of SSL/TLS certificates using CSRs generated with SHA-256.

SHA-256 hashing algorithm

The cryptographic hash function SHA-1 is compatible and Infomaniak servers also support the SHA-256 function, which is useful for PayPal and SaferPay (SIX).

The CSRs (certificate signing requests) are in SHA-256 and not in SHA-1.

This guide explains how to add an additional website to an existing Infomaniak hosting plan.

Preamble

• The hosting can be on a shared web hosting plan or on an Infomaniak Cloud Server.
• The additional site can be either:
  • a second domain name (for example. domain2.xyz),
  • or a subdomain (for example. abc.domain.xyz) of a domain name that you already own.
• In this multisite/multidomain management (virtual host), the total disk space and resources of your hosting are shared between your sites/subdomains.

Access site management

Prerequisites

• If the 20 site slots offered in the web hosting are already in use, order additional sites.

To access a web hosting plan and add a site:

1. Click here to access the management of your products in the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
2. Click directly on the name assigned to the product concerned.
3. Click on the blue button Add:

This guide explains how to add a new domain name to a Web site Infomaniak.

Preamble

• When you add a new domain name to a Web site, it is referred to as a linked domain but also as an alias.
• In this case, an alias domain is an additional domain name, also linked to an existing site.
  • For the Web site domain.xyz to be reachable with a completely different domain name such as private.abc for example, you need to add private.abc as an alias to the Web site.
  • Second example, for the site domain.xyz to also be reachable with www.domain.xyz, you need to add it as an alias to the domain domain.xyz. In this example, domain.xyz is the parent site of the alias www.domain.xyz. Generally, the alias www is already added automatically and present…

Adding an alias to an existing site

Prerequisites

• If the domain name (intended to become an alias) or its DNS zone is managed by Infomaniak, everything is OK. If not:
  • The A record of the domain name must point to Infomaniak.
  • To simplify, you can delegate the management of the domain to Infomaniak.
• It is also necessary that the future alias is not already one, in which case it will be necessary to detach it from the current site beforehand (same if synonym).

To add an additional domain that will be linked to your Web site:

1. Click here to access the management of your product on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
2. Click directly on the name assigned to the product concerned:
   
3. Then click on the chevron ‍ to expand the Domains section of this site.
4. Click on the Add a domain button:
   
5. Enter the domain name(s) to be added, separated by the Enter.
6. If the alias or its DNS zone is managed by Infomaniak, it is possible to automatically update the DNS entries. Otherwise, make any necessary changes with your registrar or transfer the management of the domain name to Infomaniak.
7. If you have an SSL certificate like Let's Encrypt, for example, you can request to update it here to include the new names.
8. Click on Validate to complete the procedure:
   

To set the alias as the main domain, refer to this other guide.

This guide explains how to enable or disable maintenance mode on a website hosted with Infomaniak Hosting.

Preamble

This guide explains how to establish the first SSH connection to your VPS Cloud / VPS Lite.

Run a command with root privileges...

From a Terminal type application (command line interface, CLI / Command Line Interface) on your device, for example the application PuTTY (to download and install on Windows) or Terminal (installed by default on macOS), run sudo -i to load the full root environment, giving you a complete interactive session as root with the personal directory and root environment variables.

... on macOS or Linux

To connect, you must open a Terminal window and run the following command:

ssh -i [key path] [user]@[server]

• [key path] = link to the file containing the private key; as a reminder, when ordering your VPS Cloud / VPS Lite, you were invited to generate a key pair or upload your own public key (the rights must be sufficient, 0700 for example)
• [user] = see below the default usernames
• [server] = server IPv4 address (indicated on the Manager)

Example: ssh -i c:/path/key ubuntu@192.168.1.1

In case of an error "WARNING: UNPROTECTED PRIVATE KEY FILE!", run the command chmod 400 [key path].

... on Windows

Windows does not allow SSH connection natively: activate the Bash shell (Windows 10 minimum) or download the following two free software: PuTTY & PuTTYgen

To begin, your private key must be converted to be used with PuTTY.

To do this, open PuTTYgen and click the "Load" button to load your private key. Then save your private key using the "Save private key" button.

Now open PuTTY and provide the following elements:

Under Session (in the left sidebar):

• [HostName] = server IPv4 address (indicated on the Manager)
• [Port] = leave the default port, i.e. 22
• [Connection type] = specify "SSH" here

Under Connection / SSH / Auth (in the left sidebar):

• Open your private key generated via PuTTYgen using the «Browse» button under «Private key file for authentication»
• Click the «Open» button at the bottom of the window, a terminal will open and ask for your username (user = see below)

Default username [user] for unmanaged Cloud servers with:

This guide explains how…

1. … generate a CSR and private key to request a third-party certificate from a Certification Authority (CA),
2. … import this certificate for your Infomaniak site, using the CRT obtained from the CA.

Preamble

• Although Infomaniak offers all the SSL certificates you might need…
  • free Let's Encrypt certs for personal sites (only possible with sites hosted at Infomaniak),
  • DV certs from Sectigo for professional/private sites that are not registered in the trade register,
  • EV certs from Sectigo for companies registered in the trade register,
• It is also possible to install an SSL certificate obtained elsewhere (intermediate certificate from a certification authority of your choice), custom or self-signed certificates.

1. Generate a CSR (Certificate Signing Request)

A CSR (Certificate Signing Request or Certificate Signing Request) is an encoded file containing the information necessary to request an SSL/TLS certificate.

It must be generated on your side to ensure that the private key remains under your control, using for example OpenSSL.

Adapt and run the following command from a terminal application (command line interface, CLI) on your device:

openssl req -utf8 -nodes -sha256 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout domain.xyz.key -out domain.xyz.csr -addext "subjectAltName = DNS:domain.xyz, DNS:www.domain.xyz"

Explanations

• newkey rsa:2048: Generates a new 2048-bit RSA key.
• keyout domain.xyz.key: Specifies the file where the private key will be saved.
• out domain.xyz.csr: Specifies the file where the CSR will be saved.
• addext “subjectAltName = ...”: Adds additional domains via the SAN (Subject Alternative Name) extension, necessary to include all desired domains in the certificate (the main domain domain.xyz + any other associated domain or subdomain, such as www.domain.xyz).

After generation, you can check the contents of the CSR with the following command:

openssl req -in domain.xyz.csr -noout -text

This allows you to verify that all domains listed in subjectAltName are correctly included.

Once the CSR is generated, you can send it to the certification authority (CA) to obtain your SSL/TLS certificate.

2. Import the external certificate

Once validated, the CA issues a certificate (domain.xyz.crt) and sometimes an intermediate certificate (ca_bundle.crt). To access SSL certificate management:

1. Click here to access the management of your product on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
2. Click directly on the name assigned to the relevant product.
3. Click on SSL Certificates in the left sidebar.
4. Click the blue Install a certificate button:
   
5. Choose the custom certificate.
6. Click on the Next button:
   
7. Import your certificate and private key, either by importing the .crt and .key files or by copy-pasting.
8. Click on Complete:
   

Alternative command to generate a self-signed certificate (optional)

If you want a local certificate for testing purposes only or without going through a CA (not recommended for production), you can use this command:

openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout domain.xyz.key -out domain.xyz.crt -addext “subjectAltName = DNS:domain.xyz, DNS:www.domain.xyz”

This generates both a self-signed certificate (domain.xyz.crt) and a private key (domain.xyz.key). However, self-signed certificates are not recognized as valid by public browsers or systems. They are only suitable for internal or development environments.

Import an intermediate certificate

When adding a custom SSL certificate, it is possible to import the intermediate certificate (by importing the .crt file or pasting the data provided by the certification authority):

This guide explains how to resolve issues that may occur with a Web Hosting if the latter has undergone modifications at the IP address level (for example, a server move) and your computer retains the old position in its DNS cache.

Flush the DNS cache...

When you visit a website, your computer stores a local association between the domain name and its IP address in the DNS cache. This speeds up the DNS resolution process for future visits to the same site, as the computer can avoid re-consulting the DNS servers to obtain the IP address.

By flushing the DNS cache, you force your computer to query the DNS servers again to obtain the latest up-to-date information on the IP addresses of the sites you visit.

... on Windows

Run the following command from a Terminal type application (command line interface, CLI / Command Line Interface) on your device. Example:

1. Open the Start menu.
2. Type cmd.
3. In the search results, click on Command Prompt.
4. Run the command ipconfig /flushdns.

... on macOS

Run the following command from a Terminal type application (command line interface, CLI / Command Line Interface) on your device:

• Run the command lookupd -flushcache (in case of failure: dscacheutil -flushcache).

... on Linux

Run the following command from a Terminal type application (command line interface, CLI / Command Line Interface) on your device:

• Run the command sudo systemctl restart nscd or sudo /etc/init.d/nscd restart to restart nscd.

Git and GitHub are available at Infomaniak with all hosting offers on…

• … Shared Web Hosting
• … Managed Cloud Server

and of course the Jelastic Cloud offer, which will allow you to integrate versioning in depth.

This guide allows you to “unlock” any Windows parameter blocked by the message “Some settings are hidden or managed by your organization” (such as changing the desktop background, for example) and to lift these restrictions that are in place by default on the VPS Cloud / VPS Lite offer.

Reset local group policy settings

To reset all local group policy settings to their default values:

1. Open the command prompt as an administrator.

2. Enter the following commands:

   RD /S /Q "%windir%\System32\GroupPolicyUsers"
   RD /S /Q "%windir%\System32\GroupPolicy"
   gpupdate /force

3. Restart the machine.

This guide lists the supported operating systems (Linux distributions) that can be installed when ordering a VPS Cloud / VPS Lite.

Prerequisites

• Create a password for your user after logging in for the first time with the private key, especially to troubleshoot your server by connecting via the VNC console in case of a problem.

This guide explains how to run the open source dependency manager Composer 2 using an SSH command.

Preamble

• Composer is an open source dependency manager for PHP that allows you to define, install, and update the libraries required for a PHP project.
• Composer 1 has been obsolete since 2021 and will no longer allow the installation of new packages or updates as of 2025.
• Only version 2 of Composer is now supported and available on all PHP versions from 7.2 to 8.3.

Run Composer 2

Composer 2 is already pre-installed and accessible via SSH. Therefore, it is not necessary to install it manually.

Simple usage

Log in to your hosting via SSH, then use the following command:

composer

This command will automatically run version 2 of Composer compatible with the PHP version currently in use in your session.

Check the active version

You can check the available version of Composer with:

composer --version

Example output: Composer version 2.5.0 2022-12-20 10:44:08

Force a specific PHP version

If you want to run Composer with a specific version of PHP, aliases are available. For example:

composer_php8.1 --version

or:

composer_php7.4

These aliases allow you to run Composer 2 with the specified PHP interpreter, useful for testing or deploying a project on a target PHP version.

This guide explains how to change the PHP version used in the command line (PHP CLI) on an Infomaniak Web Hosting.

Preamble

• This guide is useful if you need to temporarily adjust settings for a specific script or for a PHP session executed in the command line (CLI).
• To modify the general PHP version used by your hosting on the web server (FPM/Apache) via the Infomaniak Manager, refer to this other guide.

Default PHP version in command line

When you run the php command (usually via /usr/bin/php), it is the default PHP version configured on the server that is used. This version may evolve over time according to the platform updates.

To find out the exact version currently active on your hosting, run:

php -v

To ensure the stability of your scripts, it is recommended to use an explicit version (php7.4, php8.0, php8.1, etc.) or to adjust your PATH variable to point to the directory of the desired version (for example /opt/php8.1/bin).

Modify the PHP version used in CLI

There are two main files that can be used to configure the PHP version automatically loaded in your SSH session:

1. Using ~/.bashrc (recommended)

The .bashrc file is read by Bash when opening an interactive shell (non-login), i.e., in the majority of cases when you open a normal SSH session or execute commands via deployment tools.

1. Create the ~/.bashrc file if it does not exist, then open it:

   touch ~/.bashrc
   nano ~/.bashrc

2. Add the following line to specify the desired PHP version (example: PHP 8.1):

   export PATH="/opt/php8.1/bin:$PATH"

3. Reload your environment:

   source ~/.bashrc

4. Check the currently used version:

   php -v
   which php

   You should see a path of the type /opt/php8.1/bin/php.

2. Using ~/.profile (alternative)

The .profile file is read only when the shell is launched in login mode (for example during an initial SSH connection). If your environment does not automatically load .bashrc, you can define the PHP version directly there.

1. Create the ~/.profile file if it does not exist, then open it:

   touch ~/.profile
   nano ~/.profile

2. Add the following line:

   export PATH="/opt/php8.1/bin:$PATH"

3. Reload your environment:

   source ~/.profile

3. Load .bashrc from other profiles

To ensure that the configuration is loaded in all types of sessions (login and non-login), it is recommended to include in your ~/.bash_profile and ~/.profile files the following line:

if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then . ~/.bashrc; fi

Thus, your PHP configuration defined in .bashrc will always be applied, regardless of how the SSH session is opened.

Run a specific version occasionally

If you want to run a script with a specific version of PHP without modifying your environment, you can call the corresponding binary directly:

/opt/php8.1/bin/php mon_script.php
/opt/php8.2/bin/php -v

After these steps, the chosen PHP version will be loaded automatically each time a new session is opened, and your CLI scripts will run with the desired version.
