Preamble

  1. You are automatically notified by email (at the address you provided) when one of your domain names is about to expire.

  3. Once the redemption period has elapsed, the domain name is free and can be reserved again by anyone.

  • Repurchase the domain name if it has not been reserved since.

With Domain Privacy, Infomaniak allows you to preserve the confidentiality of your personal information (name, email address, postal address, and phone number) and effectively protect you against SPAM.

 

Preamble

  • ICANN-accredited registrars are required to publish the owner's contact information of a domain in the public WHOIS directory, which lists all registered domains and primarily serves to:
    • check the availability of domain names
    • verify trademark infringements
    • contact the owner of a domain in case of a legal issue
  • For customers concerned about the confidentiality of their personal data and who do not wish to publicly display their email address, phone number, and postal address in the WHOIS directory, Domain Privacy allows you to mask these real coordinates
  • Thanks to this protection, WHOIS searches for your domain do not return your personal information, but the information of the partner Domain Privacy Trustee SA:
    • You are protected against SPAM: marketing companies and individuals cannot use your personal data.
    • You remain the full owner of your domain.
    • It remains possible to contact you via a secure form that protects your identity.
  • Discover the domain name extensions supported by Domain Privacy

This guide explains how to benefit from new versions of PHP, MySQL, and many other packages by migrating a Cloud Server to new Infomaniak infrastructure.

 

Migration procedure

By migrating your data to the new Cloud infrastructure, you increase the performance and reliability of your sites, which will have access to the latest technologies:

  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 the blue button in the box "Upgrade your Cloud Server" (or Manage):

The migration is free and takes place in 3 steps:

  1. Infomaniak provides a state-of-the-art Cloud Server with the same characteristics as the current one, at the same price and same commitment period.
  2. You have one month to move your hosting to the new Cloud Server provided (see below).
  3. Once your hosting is moved to the new server, cancel the old Cloud Server.

 

Regarding step 2...

When moving hosting from one Cloud Server to another:

  • FTP access and databases do not change.
  • Only the supported versions of PHP and MariaDB, as well as the server's IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, change at the hosting level.
  • Hostnames (hostnames) do not change and are automatically updated to point to the new IP addresses.

This guide concerns the synchronization of servers via the NTP (Network Time Protocol) and the configuration of the timezone on Infomaniak servers.

 

Precise server synchronization via NTP

Infomaniak servers are all synchronized via the NTP protocol. The company provides its own public-accessible stratum-1 NTP servers for flexible use.

To integrate these servers into your settings, use the following entry: pool.ntp.infomaniak.ch.

The default timezone configuration is in UTC. However, PHP functions are designed to take into account different timezones depending on specific needs.

To adjust the timezone in your PHP scripts, use the function date_default_timezone_set('UTC').

 

MySQL: temporal specifics

The Infomaniak infrastructure supports features for working with temporal data accurately and efficiently, taking into account timezones, which is crucial for many modern applications:

  • MySQL uses a timezone database to store and manage timezone information.
  • The mysql.time_zone table contains timezone data, including time offset information, timezone names, etc.
  • The CONVERT_TZ function is used to convert a time from one timezone to another in MySQL with the following syntax: CONVERT_TZ(dt, from_tz, to_tz), where:
    • dt is the date/time to convert.
    • from_tz is the source timezone.
    • to_tz is the target timezone.
  • Example: CONVERT_TZ('2024-05-14 12:00:00', 'UTC', 'America/New_York') will convert the time 12:00:00 UTC to local time in New York.

The mobile app Infomaniak kSync is a free solution offered by Infomaniak that allows you to synchronize contacts, calendars/agendas and tasks of your Android mobile devices (Samsung, Huawei, Google Pixel, etc.) with the tools offered by Infomaniak:

 

Preamble

  • Configuring mail synchronization does not mean that contacts & calendars will also be synchronized!
    • Email is synchronized via the IMAP protocol, while your contacts & calendars can be synchronized with the CardDAV and CalDAV protocols.
  • And to facilitate this synchronization on Android devices, it is recommended to install kSync.
  • On iOS (iPhone, iPad, etc.) use an Apple profile, to download from the configuration assistant.
  • Microsoft has its own format that is not directly compatible with CardDAV and CalDAV; therefore, it is not possible on the Outlook mobile app to synchronize contacts & calendars with Infomaniak (PS: a paid and untested solution exists here).
