Modifying the Folder of a Website

This guide explains how to modify the target folder in which your Website is stored on an Infomaniak Web Hosting.

What is a Website folder?

On Infomaniak Web Hosting, it is possible to install multiple websites with their own domain names (multi-site management).

Each of these websites is stored in a folder on your hosting, which is the target of the site. It is possible to freely modify the target of a site.

Example:
 

• The website domain.xyz has the default target folder /web
• You publish a site in a new sub-folder of /web named, for example, /web/v2
• By modifying the target /web of the website domain.xyz to /web/v2, the website domain.xyz will display the content of the /web/v2 folder, without including this path in the browser's address bar and without providing access to any files still located in /web

We recommend, however, not creating "v2" in a sub-folder of "web" but alongside it by creating the folder in the root of your hosting.

These folders exist on the server but you are not required to connect via FTP to manage them.
