Getting Started Guide: Web Hosting

Thank you for entrusting Infomaniak with the hosting of your website.

Introduction

• A web hosting service provides storage space on a computer, also known as a "server," connected to the Internet and managed by a web hosting provider, Infomaniak
• This storage space, available to both professionals and individuals, is used to install websites or other types of tools (CRM, extranet, intranet, etc.) that need to be accessible via the Internet
• These guides will help you quickly use the essential functions of your new product, your web hosting, which can host multiple websites.

Where to start?

1. Create a WordPress website
2. Build the site with Site Creator
3. Install a web application (ownCloud, Joomla, Typo3, Drupal, phpBB, Simple Machines Forum, Magento, Prestashop, …)
4. Manage your FTP accounts/users
5. Manage and publish files on your hosting via our FTP Manager
6. Manage your MySQL databases
7. Add a site or subdomain to your hosting (multisites/multi domains)
8. Link another domain name to an existing website (domain alias)
9. Preview your site even if your domain name does not yet point to Infomaniak's servers

And the domain name?

A web hosting service, to be visible to the public on the Internet, must be associated with a domain name!

Your domain name is not managed by Infomaniak? Or it is in a different Organization than your web hosting? Then follow this guide to configure the DNS or "A records" to link the domain name to your web hosting.
