Getting Started Guide: Web Hosting
Thank you for entrusting Infomaniak with the hosting of your website.
Preamble
- A web hosting service is a storage space available on a computer, also called a "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 need to be accessible via the Internet.
- These guides allow you to quickly use the essential functions of your new product, your web hosting, which can host multiple websites.
Where to start?
- Create a WordPress website
- Build the site with Site Creator
- Install a web application (ownCloud, Joomla, Typo3, Drupal, phpBB, Simple Machines Forum, Magento, Prestashop, …)
- Manage your FTP accounts/users
- Manage and publish files on your hosting via FTP Manager
- Manage your MySQL databases
- Add a site or subdomain to your hosting (multi-sites/multi-domains)
- Link another domain name to an existing website (domain alias)
- Preview your site even if your domain name is not yet pointing to Infomaniak's servers
And the domain name?
Web hosting, to be visible to the public on the Internet, must be associated with a domain name!
Is your domain name not managed by Infomaniak? Or is it in a different Organization than your web hosting? Then refer to this other guide to configure the DNS or the "A records" in order to link the domain name to your web hosting.
