Start Guide: Web Hosting

Thank you for entrusting Infomaniak with hosting your website.

Preamble

• Web hosting is a storage space available on a computer, also called "server", connected to the Internet and managed by a web host, Infomaniak.
• This storage space, made available to professionals and individuals, is used to install websites or other types of tools (CRM, extranet, intranet...) that must be accessible via the Internet.
• These guides allow you to quickly use the essential functions of your new product, your web hosting, which can accommodate several 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 FTP Manager
6. Manage your MySQL databases
7. Add a site or subdomain to your hosting (multisite/multidomain)
8. Link another domain name to an existing website (a.k.a. domain)
9. Preview your site even if your domain name is not yet pointing to Infomaniak servers

What about the domain name?

Web hosting, to be visible by the public on the Internet, must be associated with a domain name!

Is your domain name not managed by Infomaniak? Or is it in another organization than your web hosting? So get to know this other guide to configure DNS or "A records" to link the domain name to your web hosting.
