    Understand the difference between EV and DV certificates

    This guide explains the main differences between an EV and DV certificate.

     

    SSL EV Certificates: for companies

    The Sectigo SSL EV certificate can only be issued to companies registered in an official registry.

    It provides the highest level of trust with your clients and offers unique advantages in addition to including the benefits of a DV certificate:

    • name of your company in the navigation bar
    • lock in the navigation bar
    • dynamic site seal
    • domain name validation
    • manual verification of your company's details and identity
    • warranty up to $1,750,000 for end users
    • 7/7 support

    The activation of an EV SSL certificate may take up to 24 hours and will require action on your part.

     

    SSL DV Certificates: for companies and individuals

    The Sectigo DV certificate is available to individuals and companies. It does not include some of the advantages mentioned above, but it offers additional benefits compared to free Let's Encrypt SSL certificates:

    • dynamic site seal
    • domain name validation
    • guarantee up to $10,000 for end users
    • support 24/7

    The activation of a DV SSL certificate is immediate.

     

    And what about Let's Encrypt certificates?

    A free Let's Encrypt certificate guarantees the same level of encryption as an EV or DV certificate. However, Let's Encrypt certificates do not offer the following benefits:

    • manual validation of your company's credentials and authenticity (EV)
    • warranty for end users in case of fraud (EV/DV)
    • support in case of questions

    In summary, Let's Encrypt certificates ensure the encryption of exchanges between your users and your site, but they do not guarantee to internet users that they are on a legitimate site whose identity has been authenticated by a certification authority.

    Change the domain name of a website

    This guide explains how to replace the main domain name associated with a Website hosted on Infomaniak in case you want to, for example, change the name of your activity or modify the spelling.

     

    Preamble

    • It is not possible to simply change the spelling of the domain name in question.
    • You must own the new domain name and install it in place of the current one by performing a swap (read below).
    • You can also rename your Web Hosting product in the Infomaniak Manager but changing the name of a hosting service has strictly no impact on the URLs of the sites.
    • You need to act on the domain name and, if necessary, adapt the content of the site.

     

    Change the website's domain name

    Prerequisites

    • Prepare the new domain name (if necessary you need to buy it).
    • If the change you are looking for is more of a "subdomain" to "main domain" type (dev.domain.xyz → domain.xyz for example) then refer to this other guide.

    To replace the domain name assigned to the site with another domain name:

    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 concerned product:
    3. Then click on the chevron ‍ to expand the Domains section of this site:
    4. Refer to this other guide to link the new domain name to your site (read the prerequisites carefully):
      • It is this new linked domain that will replace the current primary domain name after the inversion you will perform below.
    5. Once the new domain name is linked to your site, click on the action menu ⋮ to the right of it.
    6. Choose Set as primary domain:
    7. If necessary, delete the old domain name and its variants that have become alias domains alias (and no longer primary domains).

     

    If you are using a SSL certificate, you will need to update it to include the added aliases.

    If you are using the dedicated IP option, you will need to uninstall and reinstall it after performing the swap.

     

    Adapt the site content to the new name

    In some cases, the web application used to develop the site needs to be adjusted to work with the new domain name. Click on the link corresponding to the development of your site to adapt the content:

    • WordPress
    • Joomla
    • Prestashop
    • application offered in WordPress & Apps

    Discover Infomaniak's Web hosting offers

    This guide explains the differences between the web hosting offers to help you choose the best solution according to your computer needs.

     

    If you are looking to host your email, refer to this other guide.

     

    Web Hosting Starter

    The free web hosting

    The Starter Web hosting is offered for free with each domain name registered with Infomaniak. It provides 10 MB of disk space to create a site (basic pages in HTML language only - no PHP, no database) even without particular knowledge thanks to the Welcome Page tool.

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

     

    Shared Web Hosting

    The flagship offer to create your sites

    These web hostings are shared offers (the websites will be hosted on servers whose resources are shared with other customers). To ensure 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 sites: 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.

     

    Cloud Server

    Professional Web hosting

    With a Cloud Server, the resources allocated to you are not shared with other clients and 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 Web hosting - you manage the sites in the same way.
    • A VPS allows you to manage your server completely autonomously with the version of Windows or the Linux distribution of your choice (Debian, Ubuntu, openSUSE, ...) - solid technical skills are required to use a VPS, including VPS Lite.

     

    Public Cloud (and Kubernetes Service)

    Open, proven, and secure IaaS solution

    For Infomaniak, it is the infrastructure that drives kDrive, Swiss Backup and the 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 customized and tailored offers, you will have no trouble managing your development budget. No setup fees. No minimum amount. Cancelable at any time. You only pay for the resources actually used with Public Cloud at the end of each month, same for Kubernetes Service.

     

    Jelastic Cloud

    Web hosting tailored to your chosen technologies

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

    Fix an error "Your connection is not private

    This guide helps you understand the error "Your Connection Is Not Private" when you try to access a website, whether you are the site owner or a simple visitor.

     

    Understand the error

    The error "Your Connection Is Not Private" sometimes appears in your browser when it has trouble establishing a secure connection with the site you are trying to visit. This usually happens when the website does not have a valid security certificate and does not use the SSL/TLS protocol to protect communication between the site and your web browser.

    In fact, this is a security measure aimed at protecting your data. Websites with invalid SSL certificates may have security issues, making them less reliable. They can also expose your personal information to hackers if you enter sensitive data, such as your login credentials or payment information.

     

    If you are a visitor

    This may be due to configuration errors, such as an insecure Wi-Fi connection, incorrect date and time on your computer, or even an SSL/HTTPS analysis by your antivirus software.

     

    If you own an Infomaniak website

    Have you installed an SSL certificate?

    Learn about the different certificates available on the Infomaniak site.

    And if you already have an SSL certificate for your site, have you updated it to include any potential site aliases?

    Check the SSL certificate expiration date

    Certificates are renewed automatically. To check the expiration date:

    1. Click here to access the management of your product on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
    2. Check the column containing the expiration dates:

    Check the installation

    If you think you have activated SSL on your site, check a few points in this other guide.

    It is recommended to perform the following actions:

    • Clear the cache of your applications or your site.
    • Check that the pages and scripts of the site do not contain redirects to the http version of the site.
    • Check that the site's .htaccess file does not contain redirects to the site's http version.
    • Set the https address of the site as the default:
      • with WordPress Infomaniak
      • for other cases

     

    The website displays poorly (missing images, unsupported stylesheets, etc.) or displays a warning in the address bar

    It is recommended to perform the following actions:

    • Clear the cache of your applications or your site.
    • Check that the pages and scripts do not point to external resources in http; the site whynopadlock.com can help you identify the unsecured elements of your site.
    • Also refer to this other guide on this topic.

     

    "This web page has a redirect loop", "ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS"

    If your web browser displays this error, it is recommended to perform the following actions:

    • If the site runs on a web application like WordPress or Joomla, disable the extensions one by one to identify the problematic one.
    • Check that the pages and scripts of the site do not contain redirects to the http version of the site.
    • Try to disable HSTS.
    • If **Prestashop** is used, you need to activate SSL **on all pages**:
      1. Add your SSL domain:
        • Go to Preferences > SEO & URLs.
        • In the "Shop URL" section, enter your site address in the "SSL Domain" field (without the https://, just www.domain.xyz).
      2. Activate SSL:
        • Go to Preferences > General Settings.
        • At the top of the page, click on "Click here to use the HTTPS protocol before activating SSL mode."
        • A new page will open with your site in secure HTTPS version.
      3. Force SSL usage on the entire site:
        • Go back to Preferences > General Settings.
        • Set the "Enable SSL" option to YES.
        • Also set "Force SSL usage for all pages" to YES.

     

    An old SSL certificate is displayed - clear the SSL cache

    Web browsers cache SSL certificates to speed up navigation. Normally, this is not a problem. However, when you develop pages for your website or install a new certificate, the SSL state of the browser can hinder you. For example, you might not see the padlock icon in the browser's address bar after installing a new SSL certificate.

    The first thing to do in this case is to make sure that the domain is correctly pointing to the server's IP address (A and AAAA records) and if it is still the wrong SSL certificate that is returned, clear the SSL cache:

    • Chrome: go to Settings and click on Settings. Click on Show advanced settings. Under Network, click on Change proxy settings. The Internet Properties dialog box appears. Click on the Content tab. Click on Clear SSL state, then click OK. Find other tips in this other guide.
    • Firefox: go to History. Click on Clear Recent History then select Active Logins and click on Clear Now.

     

    Loss of CSS formatting

    If the website displays without CSS styling, analyze the page loading with the browser's Console. There might be mixed content errors related to your .css styles, which you will need to resolve to load them correctly again.

     

    Cloudflare

    If you use Cloudflare, refer to this other guide on the subject.

    Solve an email problem (software/email client)

    This guide helps you identify and correct errors encountered when attempting to use your email software/client such as Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, Apple Mail, etc.

    Refer to this other guide if you are looking for information about errors of type "mailer daemon" or "delivery failure" after sending an email.

     

    Always use…

    • the single server name: mail.infomaniak.com (for IMAP reception and SMTP sending servers)
    • the correct incoming/outgoing port numbers
    • Authentication in the settings when it is offered, and if necessary, enter the username (your full email address) and password in the fields related to mandatory authentication
    • the correct email password which is usually different from the username used to log in to Infomaniak (click here to check that you are using the correct password and if necessary, change the password of your email address) - beware of the sign $
    • an existing email address that must have been actually created (or set as an alias)
    • one protocol at a time (never check an email box with devices configured in POP3 for some and in IMAP for others because these two protocols do not work well together)

     

    You must try to...

    • compare the recommended settings for the email software/client used, especially if you have recently changed the password on the Infomaniak side
    • check your emails using a different network (WiFi, mobile hotspot from 4G/5G, or any other internet connection)
    • temporarily disable your security applications (antivirus, firewall, VPN...); if you can then retrieve your emails normally, contact the publisher of the security application(s) you are using
    • type your password in plain text in a word processor; depending on your keyboard configuration, the key A may correspond to the letter Z and the key Q may refer to the letter A...
    • Restart and try sending/receiving again: some applications require validating the configuration parameters window several times or need to be restarted to apply their new settings
    • compose a new message after modifying your settings: a message in the process of being drafted that would be saved in the Drafts folder may not take into account any configuration changes

     

    The types of errors

    • 0x800... - refer to this other guide
    • Certificate error (SSL or other): refer to this other guide
    • 550 5.7.1 relaying denied or Proper authentication required - refer to this other guide
    • 535 5.7.0 authentication failed - refer to this other guide

    also:

    • "573 Antispam: Authentication not possible. Please use port 587 instead of port 25."
      or "An operation on the server timed out. The server may be down, overloaded, or there may be too much net traffic."
      or "The time limit has expired" with an error number following (421, or 573 for example).
      Most ISPs (Internet Service Providers) have blocked the SMTP sending port n°25 for many years now. Therefore you should never specify port 25 as the SMTP port. To still be able to send emails, use the recommended ports.

    Create a Node.js site at Infomaniak

    Infomaniak's Node.js sites allow you to run Node.js applications in a flexible, ready-to-use environment, without having to manage server infrastructure.

     

    Preamble

    • Offering the flexibility of a server without the complexity of its administration, this type of hosting is particularly suitable for API REST projects, for deploying the CMS Ghost, Strapi or frameworks like Express.js, NestJS or socket.io, next.js, business tools or prototypes for:
      • developers wanting to deploy Node.js applications without managing infrastructure.
      • webmasters looking to experiment with or learn Node.js.
      • agencies and freelancers working on multiple client projects.
      • students, teachers and schools needing a simple environment to test code.
    • Package managers NPM and Yarn are supported.
    • If you install Node.js on a Web hosting within a Server Cloud, your site will not work with the guaranteed resources of the managed Server Cloud.
      • Refer to this other guide to use Fast Installer and deploy NVM.
    • Node.js = official name of the language/environment; NodeJS = technical or simplified name in certain contexts (often for practical reasons, no real technical difference).

    To access a web hosting plan and add a Node.js site:

    1. Click here to access the management of your products in the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).

    10. Enter the domain name or subdomain.
    11. Choose the advanced options if applicable.
    12. Click on Next:
    13. Choose one of the two possible approaches:
      1. Quick method:
        1. A pre-configured example project is automatically installed.
        2. This approach is ideal for discovering Node.js or quickly starting a functional base.
      2. Custom method:
        1. The source code can be imported via Git, ZIP archive, SSH or SFTP.
        2. You define the scripts, entry points, listening port, and necessary build commands yourself.
    14. Each site has a dedicated control panel to manage the application (start, stop, restart), view the execution console, manage Node.js versions, configure domains and activate SSL certificates:

    To go further in the configuration of your Node.js site, refer to this other guide.
