Shared Web Hosting

The flagship offer for creating your websites

These hosting plans are shared hosting (websites will be hosted on servers whose resources are shared with other clients). To ensure the reliability of our shared services, our servers use on average only 40% of CPU power and are equipped with state-of-the-art professional 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 commonly used to create professional websites: PHP, MySQL, FTP and SSH access, SSL certificates, Site Creator and easy installation of WordPress or common CMS, etc.

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 hosting (node.js, mongoDB, Sol, FFMPEG, etc.).

• a Cloud Server allows you to easily administer your server via the same administration console as web hosting - you manage the sites in the same way
• a VPS allows you to manage your server 100% autonomously with the Windows version or the Linux distribution of your choice (Debian, Ubuntu, openSUSE, ...) - strong technical skills are required to use a VPS, including VPS Lite

Public Cloud

Open, proven, and secure IaaS solution

For Infomaniak, it's the infrastructure that powers kDrive, Swiss Backup, and Webmail, services used by millions of users. But Public Cloud is accessible to everyone and provides the resources you need for your projects' development.

With our custom and tailor-made 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 our Public Cloud at the end of each month.

Jelastic Cloud

Custom hosting with the technologies of your choice

Jelastic Cloud allows you to create custom development environments with the technologies of your choice (PHP, Node.js, Java, Docker, Ruby, etc.). It's a flexible cloud offering:

• horizontal and vertical resizing of resources
• payment based on actual resource consumption
• easy customization of your infrastructure (redundancy, IP, SSL, load balancing, etc.)
