Thank you for entrusting the hosting of your WordPress site to Infomaniak.

Preamble

• For your information, the WordPress site creation tool can be:
  1. hosted by the WordPress.com infrastructure (paid) and in this case Infomaniak is not involved in the hosting
  2. installed freely but manually by the user thanks to the archive provided by WordPress.org, Infomaniak is then the web host but does not manage any updates and does not list the application in the Web Applications section of the Infomaniak Manager; you will be in this case if you migrate an external WordPress to Infomaniak
  3. installed automatically by the tool available on the Manager and in this case WordPress is maintained (in terms of security) largely by Infomaniak
• This is the third and final point that is developed in this guide.
