• Terminal (an application already integrated into macOS and Linux)
• PuTTY (Windows) (❓: help)

Then, enter the following command:

ssh username@server

• username is the username for the FTP account (❓: help)
• server is the host server (e.g. xxxx.ftp.infomaniak.com)

To find out which command is available and to know the path to use, run the "whereis" command:

$ whereis mysql
mysql: /opt/mysql/bin/mysql

This guide explains how to add a new domain name to a website on Infomaniak.

Introduction

• When you add a new domain name to a website, it is referred to as a linked domain, but also as an alias.
• An alias domain in this case is an additional domain name, also linked to an existing website.
  • To make the website domain.xyz accessible with a completely different domain name, such as private.abc, you need to add private.abc as an alias for the website.
  • Second example, to make the website domain.xyz also accessible 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 website of the alias www.domain.xyz. In general, the www alias is already added automatically and is present…

Add an alias to an existing website

Prerequisites

• If the domain name (intended to become an alias) or its DNS zone is managed by Infomaniak, everything is fine. If not:
  • The A record of the domain name must point to Infomaniak.
  • To simplify things, you can entrust the domain management to Infomaniak.
• The future alias must not already be an alias; if it is, you will need to unlink it from the current site beforehand (the same applies if it is a synonym).

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

1. Click here to access the hosting & website management section in your Infomaniak Manager (❓: help).
2. Click on the name of the website in question.
3. Then, click on the Add a domain button:
   
4. Enter the domain name(s) to add, separating them with the Enter key.
5. 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.transfer the domain name management to Infomaniak.
6. If you have an SSL certificate such as Let's Encrypt, you can request to update it here to include the new names.
7. Click on Confirm to complete the process:
   
8. The domains associated with the site are updated:
   

To define the alias as the primary domain, please refer to this other guide.

This guide explains how to host multiple websites on the same platform, both from a technical and administrative perspective.

Technical operation

A web hosting plan can host multiple websites:

• In this case, the resources of this hosting plan (disk space, databases, memory, etc.) are shared among all the websites hosted on it.

With a Cloud Server, you have access to a larger infrastructure:

• For example, a standard offer may include 5 hosting accounts and allow you to create up to 20 websites. You are free to distribute these 20 websites across your 5 hosting accounts as needed.

Access Management

In the Infomaniak Manager, access rights apply to the hosting service as a whole:

• It is not possible to limit a user's access to a specific website: if they are invited to a hosting account, they will have access to all the websites it contains.

However, to restrict access to a single site, you can use these alternatives:

• On the server: create an FTP user and limit its access to the specific folder of the website.
• On the website itself: manage permissions and access directly from the website creation system (for example, with WordPress role management).

Supervisor is not offered directly because systemd is recommended, better integrated with Debian, and available in Fast installer.

If you still need to install it, contact Infomaniak support in writing.

This guide details the procedure for establishing your first SSH connection to an Infomaniak Cloud VPS or VPS Lite.

Connecting via Windows (PuTTY)

On Windows, the recommended tool is PuTTY.

Your private key must be converted to the .ppk format to work.

Step A: Conversion with PuTTYgen

1. Launch PuTTYgen.
2. Click on Load to upload your current private key.
3. Click on Save private key to generate your .ppk file.

Step B: Configuring PuTTY

1. In Session, enter the server's IP address in "Host Name".
2. In Connection > SSH > Auth, click Browse to upload your .ppk file.
3. Click Open.
4. A window will open: enter your username.

Connecting via a Unix terminal (macOS and Linux)

Use your system's native SSH client by opening a terminal.

The syntax is as follows:

ssh -i [key_path] [user]@[server]

Parameter details

• [key_path]: Path to your private key file (generated or imported during the command).
• [user]: Username (see the table of distributions below).
• [server]: IPv4 address of your VPS, available in the Manager.

Note on permissions: if you get an error like "UNPROTECTED PRIVATE KEY FILE", secure your key with the following command: 
chmod 400 [key_path]

Default user list

Use the identifier corresponding to the Linux distribution installed on your server:

Note: The user is always the one defined by default by the distribution's publisher.

Switching to Administrator (Root) Mode

For security reasons, the initial connection is not made directly as root.

To obtain full system privileges, run:

sudo -i

This command loads the complete root user environment (system variables and home directory).

• Migrate a shared web hosting to a Cloud Server
• Add a website or subdomain to your hosting (multisite)
• Preview your website even if your domain name does not yet point to Infomaniak's servers

This guide contains essential resources to help you get started with your Cloud VPS or VPS Lite offered by Infomaniak.

Introduction

• UEFI and Secure boot support is not planned for the Cloud VPS / VPS Lite offering.
• It is not possible to migrate a vmdk file so that it can run on OpenStack because KVM is used for virtualization.
• In case of a problem, consult the knowledge base.
  • Contact Infomaniak support for questions concerning only the hardware part of the VPS.

Getting started with a Cloud VPS / VPS Lite Linux

• How to connect to your server via an SSH key?
• Which Linux distributions are supported?

Getting started with a Cloud VPS / VPS Lite Windows

• How to connect to your Windows server?
• Which versions of Windows are supported?

Which version (Cloud or Lite) should I choose for the VPS?

• The configurations (vCPU / RAM / disk space) vary depending on the VPS offers, starting with 1 vCPU at very competitive prices.
  • Make your choice according to your needs.
  • Upgrading from a VPS Lite to a VPS Cloud is not yet possible automatically, and reducing a subscribed offer is not possible.
  • Refer to this other guide if you wish to migrate from VPS Lite to VPS Cloud (the migration is irreversible).
• The same Linux distributions & Windows versions are offered (Windows is not available on the smallest configurations).
  • Only the official images of the operating systems are installed, without any security software such as fail2ban pre-installed.
  • However, the firewall is configurable from the Manager, and a VPS also benefits from anti-DDoS protection.
  • Regarding port opening, refer to this other guide.
• On VPS Lite, the bandwidth is limited to 500 Mbit/s, and the guaranteed SLA + snapshots are not available.

This guide explains how to create a PTR record on the dedicated IPs of VPS Cloud / VPS Lite.

Introduction

• A PTR (Pointer Record) is a type of DNS record used to resolve IP addresses to domain names.
• The PTR record is used to associate an IP address with a domain name or subdomain.
• This is the opposite of an A record, which is used to resolve domain names into IP addresses.

Create a PTR record for the IP address of your Cloud VPS / VPS Lite

Prerequisites

• Make sure your domain or subdomain points to the IP address (v4 or v6) of your Cloud VPS / VPS Lite server.
  • You can do this by creating an A record for your domain or by modifying the existing record to point to the IP address of your Cloud VPS / VPS Lite.
• Make sure your domain name points to the IP address of your Cloud VPS / VPS Lite (see 1).
• Note the IP address of your Cloud VPS / VPS Lite server (you can find this IP address in your server management dashboard or by using a command-line command such as "ifconfig" or "ipconfig" depending on the operating system you are using).

Next, to create a PTR record for your dedicated IP address:

1. Click here to access the management of your VPS in the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
2. Click directly on the name assigned to the VPS in question:
   
3. Click on the appropriate quick action or directly on the menu items at the server's IP address level:
   
4. Enter the desired information and save.
5. Once the PTR record is created, use an online verification tool to ensure that the PTR record points to your domain or subdomain.

This guide explains how to use MySQL on Infomaniak hosting, in particular how stored procedures work.

Introduction

• “Stored procedures” and “stored routines” are not available on a shared web hosting plan.

Understanding stored procedures and routines

If stored procedures are essential to your project and you are currently using shared hosting, it is advisable to consider a VPS or a dedicated server, which offer more control and resources.

Stored procedures are an effective way to automate tasks and integrate business logic directly into the database. This allows for more efficient and easier-to-maintain applications.

On a Cloud Server, as long as the user has administrator rights on the relevant MySQL database, they have the necessary permissions to execute SQL statements, including the EXECUTE command, which is used to launch stored procedures that are already present in the database.

The user also has the required privileges to create new stored procedures.A stored procedure is created using a specific SQL syntax that defines the instructions to be executed, followed by saving it in the database.

Example

DELIMITER //
CREATE PROCEDURE GetUserCount()
BEGIN
    SELECT COUNT(*) AS total_users FROM users;
    -- Returns the total number of users in the table
END //
DELIMITER ;

-- Execute the stored procedure
CALL GetUserCount();

This guide explains the differences between Infomaniak's web hosting plans to help you choose the best solution based on your IT needs.

1. Site Creator

Standalone plans, independent of a hosting solution such as the one presented in point 3.

Site Creator is a ready-to-use solution that allows you to easily create a showcase website, a blog, or an e-commerce store without any specific technical skills. Offered as a standalone solution (without requiring traditional web hosting), it is available in several plans to suit your needs:

• Site Creator Free: a free version to test and customize a web page with basic features
• Site Creator Lite: ideal for publishing a showcase website or blog (up to 6 web pages, 15 GB of disk space, and a free domain name for 1 year)
• Site Creator Pro: the complete solution for online stores (unlimited pages, 50 GB of disk space, e-commerce features with payment and inventory management, free domain name for 1 year)

Learn more about the Site Creator plans and compare features.

2. Web Hosting Starter

Simple and free web hosting

The Starter web hosting plan is offered free of charge with every domain name registered with Infomaniak. It offers 10 MB of disk space to create a website (basic pages in HTML only - no PHP, no database) even without specific knowledge, thanks to the Welcome Page tool.

• Register or transfer a domain name to Infomaniak
• Learn more about the benefits included with a domain name

3. Shared Web Hosting

The flagship offer for creating your websites

These web hosting solutions are shared hosting offers (websites will be hosted on servers whose resources are shared with other customers). To guarantee the reliability of these shared services, Infomaniak servers use, on average, only 40% of the CPU power and are equipped with professional, latest-generation SSD disks.

Web hosting offers a minimum of 250 GB of disk space and allows you to manage multiple websites with multiple domain names. This offer includes all the technologies usually used to create professional websites: PHP, MySQL, FTP and SSH access, SSL certificates and easy installation of WordPress or common CMS, etc. It is also possible to add a Node.js site and/or Site Creator.

3. Cloud Server

Professional Web Hosting

With a Cloud Server,the resources allocated to you are not shared with other customersand you can customize the hardware and software configuration of your server according to your needs. A Cloud Server also allows you to use components that are not available on shared web hosting (Node.js, mongoDB, Sol, FFMPEG, etc.).

• A Cloud Server allows you to easily manage your server via the same administration interface as your web hosting – you manage websites in the same way.
• A VPS allows you to manage your server 100% independently with the Windows version or the Linux distribution of your choice (Debian, Ubuntu, openSUSE, ...) – solid technical skills are required to use a VPS, including VPS Lite.

4. Public Cloud (et Kubernetes Service)

Open, reliable, and secure IaaS solution

For Infomaniak, this is the infrastructure that powers kDrive, Swiss Backup, and Webmail, services used by several million users. But Public Cloud is accessible to everyone and provides the resources you need to develop your projects.

With our custom and tailored offers, you'll have no trouble managing your development budget. No setup fees. No minimum amount. Cancel anytime. You only pay for the resources you actually use with Public Cloud at the end of each month, the same applies to Kubernetes Service.

5. Jelastic Cloud

Custom web hosting with the technologies of your choice

Jelastic Cloud allows you to create custom development environments with the technologies of your choice (PHP, Java, Docker, Ruby, etc.). It is a flexible cloud offering:

• Horizontal and vertical resizing of resources.
• Payment based on actual resource consumption.
• Easy customization of your infrastructure (redundancy, IP, SSL, load balancing, etc.).

This guide explains how to modify your current Cloud Server Infomaniak plan.

Modifying Resources and Configuration

The basic Cloud Server plan includes 5 hosting accounts and 20 websites. To add an additional hosting account or modify the server configuration to increase CPU/RAM :

1. Click here to access the management of your product in the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
2. Click on the action menu ⋮ located to the right of the item in question.
3. Click on Modify offer:
   
4. Make the desired adjustments and complete the process.

To reduce the size of the entire Cloud Server's disk space:

1. Order a new server with the desired new storage (contact support to order the new server free of charge while you complete the steps below).
2. Move the hosting from the old server to the new one.
3. Cancel the old server.

Refer to this other guide to modify the disk space of a hosting plan.

Increase the process limit

Under Linux, the number of processes that a user or system can create simultaneously is limited. These limits prevent processes from consuming excessive resources and affecting the overall stability of the system.

Process limits are managed by the Linux kernel and can be viewed and modified using specific commands and configuration files. You can request an increase in the limits (contact Infomaniak support, specifying a time slot for the operation, as there will be a few minutes of interruption).

This guide explains how to…

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

Introduction

• Although Infomaniak offers all the SSL certificates you might need…
  • free Let's Encrypt certificates for personal websites (only possible with websites hosted at Infomaniak),
  • DV certificates from Sectigo for professional/personal websites that are not registered in the commercial register,
  • EV certificates from Sectigo for companies registered in the commercial 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 needed to request an SSL/TLS certificate.

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

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"

Explanation

• 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, which is 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 content of the CSR with the following command:

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

This ensures that all domains listed in subjectAltName are correctly included.

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

2. Import the external certificate

Once validated, the CA provides you with a certificate (domain.xyz.crt) and sometimes an intermediate certificate (ca_bundle.crt).

To access SSL certificate management:

1. Click here to access the hosting & website management section in your Infomaniak Manager (❓: help).
2. Click on the name of the website in question.
3. Click on SSL Certificates in the left-hand menu.
4. Click on 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 copying and pasting.
8. Click on Complete:
   

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

If you want a local certificate only for testing purposes 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 browsers or public systems. They are only suitable for internal or development environments.

Import an intermediate certificate

When adding a custom SSL certificate, you can import the intermediate certificate (by importing the .crt file or by copying and pasting the data provided by the certification authority):

This guide explains how to deploy Node.js with a Cloud Server to ensure you always have the environment needed to compile or build modern frontends (React, Vue, etc.). However, it is recommended to use the integrated node.js solution.

Introduction

• Node.js is a free, open-source JavaScript software platform geared towards network applications that need to be scalable, a simple and effective solution for integrating frontend tools into any server stack.
  • Node.js = the official name of the language/environment.
  • NodeJS = the "technical" or simplified name in certain contexts (often for practical reasons, there is no real technical difference).

Install Node.js

Prerequisites

• Install NVM on your Cloud Server.
• Please note that Node.js version 18 is not compatible with older Cloud Servers; perform a migration beforehand!

Install the stable version of Node.js

nvm install stable

Install the latest version

nvm install node

Install an older version (not recommended)

nvm install 17

List available versions

nvm ls-remote

Install a specific version

nvm install <version>

Change the Node.js version and set version 6.3.1 (or another version) as the default

nvm alias default 6.3.1

Use a specific version of Node.js in the current shell

nvm use <version>

Check the currently used Node.js version

node -v

Source

To set up NVM, go to the WebSSH console of your Cloud Server.

Locate the .profile file

source ~/.profile

Run the following command to verify the NVM installation

nvm

Configure Node as a service

To configure Node as a service, using a "systemd-user service" is recommended.

Redirect traffic to a specific port
