This guide explains how to install ownCloud (or Nextcloud, which is an improved version of ownCloud) in a few clicks on the paid Web Hosting offers.

Preamble

• ownCloud is part of the applications (not developed by Infomaniak) and allows the implementation of a file storage & sharing system within a "cloud" that you fully control (user management, permissions, quotas, associated mobile applications, etc.).
• Unlike other hosts, Infomaniak allows the use of ownCloud on its hosting:
  • Personal use is allowed on shared Web Hosting.
  • For intensive and professional use, it is recommended to opt for a Cloud Server to install ownCloud or Nextcloud.
