A Swiss platform to choose according to your organization

Infomaniak combines web hosting, email, domains and collaborative services in an environment administered through its Manager. For WordPress, the main question is whether to choose shared hosting or a Managed Cloud Server. The difference is not just available volume: it also concerns project allocation, guaranteed resources and certain usable technologies.

The infrastructure presented for these offers is hosted in Switzerland. This is more precise than the company’s nationality alone. It may interest an association, business or freelancer wanting to place services there. It does not mean all data sent by your WordPress plugins will remain in that country. Payments, analytics and external email platforms must be examined separately.

This profile concerns WordPress software installed on hosting, with its files and database. Site Creator and collaborative products operate differently. We studied official documents without performing migration, speed testing or a support call. The assessments below help prepare a choice and configuration; they are not a report of production use.

Web Hosting: several websites sharing resources

Web Hosting starts with twenty websites and two hundred fifty gigabytes of storage in the presented configuration. Capacities can grow. The environment includes technologies needed for dynamic websites, notably PHP and MySQL or MariaDB, with file access. Domain names are not included in this website count: registration remains separate.

The product’s resources are shared. Large storage therefore does not guarantee that twenty simultaneously active stores will run as comfortably as twenty small brochure websites. Assess computing requirements, media processing and imports as well as volume. Traffic marketed as unlimited is not infinite processor capacity.

The plan’s appeal is consolidating several projects without administering a complete server system. It may suit an owner maintaining websites and monitoring their needs. However, decide how access will be shared before installing client websites. A website is a set of files and application settings; hosting is the technical and administrative container. This distinction becomes essential when several people must work in the Manager.

Managed Cloud Server: guaranteed resources and separate hosting products

The Managed Cloud Server offers a resource level assigned to the server and a scalable configuration. The documented technical base includes four virtual processors, twelve gigabytes of memory and two hundred fifty gigabytes of storage. Larger configurations exist. Do not attribute the range’s maximum specifications to its entry price.

The server can contain several hosting products. The base configuration documents five hosting products and twenty websites in total to distribute between them: it does not mean twenty websites in each of the five. Server resources remain shared across these groups. This architecture must not be described as five independent machines or a guarantee against every shared incident.

The plan becomes relevant when a portfolio needs more headroom, better organized access or technology absent from shared hosting. Infomaniak documents advanced caching and application options for this product. Confirm the required configuration before ordering. Here, managed means responsibility for the environment defined by the offer; it does not turn every custom development into an included service. Unmanaged Cloud and Public Cloud have yet another division of responsibilities.

Read a CHF price without inventing the order total

The pages consulted display Web Hosting from CHF 10.91 per month, Web + Mail from CHF 13.20 and managed Cloud from CHF 38.41. These amounts were recorded on November 2, 2026: they are entry prices excluding VAT in the currency actually displayed. We do not convert them into euros because exchange rates, banking fees and order conditions may change the result.

The payable amount depends on resources and billing frequency. The table provides annual billing by default for Web Hosting; other frequencies depend in part on the configuration amount. A monthly equivalent price therefore does not by itself establish what will be charged on day one. No separate renewal amount was established for a personalized cart; request a summary instead of assuming every initial condition will remain unchanged.

A thirty-day trial is advertised for Web Hosting with a valid card. Check conversion and cancellation arrangements before activating it. A money-back guarantee and free trial are different mechanisms. To compare complete cost, add domains, extra mailboxes and selected services. Keep the configuration and commercial terms corresponding to your order, especially if planning several years of operation.

Client access: the pitfall of confusing a website with hosting

In the Manager, permissions apply to the hosting product as a whole. A user invited to that hosting product can access the websites it contains. It is therefore unwise to invite several independent clients into one container while assuming each will see only their own WordPress. Documentation specifies this administrative limit.

Two options can meet narrower needs: an FTP account restricted to a directory or a WordPress account with an appropriate role. Note the Manager distinction: FTP + SSH grants access to all hosting, while a simple FTP account can be limited to a folder. These access methods do not replace every Manager capability. They may nevertheless suffice to publish content or work on authorized files without exposing all projects.

When a client must manage hosting independently, consider separating hosting products. This is one practical advantage of managed Cloud for a team. Record domain owners, payment responsibilities and departure arrangements. Logical separation can clarify work but does not remove the need to protect the organization and its main accounts. Make this decision before distributing access, since reorganizing projects after launch may require migration.

WordPress, Divi and Site Creator: different uses

Infomaniak offers WordPress installation and advertises Elegant Themes’ Divi in relevant offers. This benefit can reduce startup cost for someone wanting that builder. However, My WordPress Website terms require supplied themes to be used only at Infomaniak and that usage to cease after changing hosts. Before leaving with Divi supplied through this service, plan a suitable license obtained separately from the developer or a theme change. Exporting files does not by itself transfer this contractual benefit.

WordPress remains extensible software whose themes and plugins require compatibility checks. Simplified installation does not determine content, privacy settings or store operation. Prepare sensitive updates on a copy and check useful workflows: login, forms, search, orders or downloads.

Site Creator is another way to build a website, with its own editor and Euria-assisted writing features. It must not be presented as a simple WordPress theme. If choosing this product, examine portability separately before investing time. Likewise, Starter hosting associated with a domain is intended for a small static page; it is not a free replacement for the PHP Web Hosting needed by an ordinary WordPress installation.

Backups: seven days and consistency to check

Files and databases in relevant web offers are backed up daily in another Infomaniak data center in Switzerland. The table advertises seven-day retention. The FAQ refers to the last seven daily backups and specifies that Web Application may offer more: check the relevant website’s list. This protection can help after recent deletion but is not a sufficient archive for discovering an error several weeks later. Define the retention your activity actually needs.

Restoration documentation specifies that file and database copies are not simultaneous. Their consistency must therefore be checked after recovery. A recently uploaded image, for example, may be referenced in a database without exactly matching the chosen file copy. Check the actual result instead of treating task completion as comprehensive proof.

A full restoration can affect all websites in a hosting product. More targeted file and data operations are documented. Before acting, preserve the current state and identify registrations or orders to retain. For a store, an old database can remove recent sales. Also keep an independent copy and verify recovery in an isolated environment. No restoration scenario was executed for this profile.

The Manager offers several scopes; start by choosing the one matching the problem:

• Under Hosting and websites, open the relevant hosting product, then Restoration.
• Simple restoration covers everything; Advanced restoration allows website and database selection. Web Application provides another workflow for relevant installations.
• Choose the date, review targeted elements and preserve current data before confirming. For an individual file, documentation also describes recovery from the /backups folder in Web FTP; copying to its current location replaces the existing file.

Security and performance: use tools without promising the impossible

The offers present protection against malware and known vulnerabilities. The vulnerability scan documents automatic fixes normally applied within seven days without intervention. In the Manager, open hosting, then Security and Vulnerability scan to view action history. Such protection complements website upkeep; it does not necessarily cover custom development or a WordPress permission error.

When a fix is applied, check affected functions. If quarantine affects a necessary file, the website may be disrupted. Reversing a fix can reintroduce the vulnerable file; adding an exception may exclude it from future checks. Understand the alert before restoring an element and prioritize updating the affected component. Accounts, secrets and abandoned plugins remain management issues even on managed infrastructure.

For speed, observe real pages and background tasks. Caching mainly helps reusable responses; it does not replace processing for every personalized page. Managed Cloud offers additional tools and resources, but this profile infers no numerical gain from their presence. Monitor utilization, logs and slowdown frequency to distinguish capacity needs from code problems or a slow external service.

Email, AI and additional services

The free Starter address is associated with a domain registered or transferred to Infomaniak. It must not be automatically promised to everyone hosting a website whose domain remains elsewhere. The Web + Mail package presents five addresses. Domains themselves require separate budgeting. If your organization needs several accounts, compare the exact package and required email features. Web hosting should not be assumed to contain the entire collaborative suite.

Infomaniak offers Euria as an artificial intelligence assistant: writing, rephrasing, translation and summarization appear in its presentation. Euria in Site Creator or collaborative tools does not automatically add these features to the WordPress editor. This scope is separate from WordPress maintenance. No article-generation quota, automatic plugin creation or AI model usable by your website was established as included in the Web plan described here.

If using an assistant to produce content, editorial checks and data rights remain necessary. If a plugin calls an external API, its subscription and consumption must be examined separately. A consolidated ecosystem’s value lies in service organization, not the idea that everything becomes free or unlimited once a domain is hosted with the provider.

Support: distinguish advertised availability from precise commitments

French is available on the website, in documentation and in the Manager. Support pages present standard assistance and paid plans changing priorities and certain commitments. The detailed support table gives standard telephone hours Monday to Friday from nine to eighteen and email seven days a week from six to twenty-one. Other panels use more general hours: confirm the desired channel before operating outside these windows.

The Premium table consulted mentions Plus, Pro and Enterprise levels, with an initial six-month commitment for paid services. Advertised response times are not guaranteed resolution times for a WordPress problem. Confirm hours for the channel you will use and intervention scope before choosing an option solely to reassure the team.

For an incident, prepare the hosting product, relevant website, time and reproducible example. Responsibility for infrastructure malfunction differs from responsibility for a custom plugin. If you want to delegate an entire project, price technical assistance or a suitable provider. We did not test the quality of support exchanges; documented features are not presented as firsthand service experience.

Incoming migration and data export

Infomaniak advertises free WordPress migration, excluding the usual prices of subscribed services. The page distinguishes website handling from assistance with domains and emails. Clarify elements to move, required access and special cases. A general promise does not replace a plan for a store still receiving transactions.

Before switching, create a copy and test the destination with sensitive functions disabled. Preserve recent messages and orders, then plan final synchronization. A domain change must not overwrite email or other service records along the way. Keep old hosting until meaningful validation rather than relying on reactivation after expiry.

For departure, file access and MySQL or MariaDB export are documented. Retrieve the whole website, not just posts, then note versions, scheduled tasks and dependencies. Check licenses for tools obtained with hosting. Transfer to another organization or provider must preserve rights and owners. Export must occur before cancellation while access and data remain available.

To retrieve elements needed for departure, begin with the native interface:

• In the Manager, open the website, then Databases. The database’s three-dot menu offers Export or Download a backup; select the correct database and download the resulting file.
• Retrieve WordPress files separately using suitable SFTP access or Web FTP. Include media, themes, plugins and configuration, then protect this copy containing secrets.
• Check the copy at the destination and retain DNS records, scheduled tasks and email settings. Cancel only after this validation: cancellation may delete data and backups.

When the choice makes sense

Infomaniak may suit an owner seeking a French-language environment and Swiss location while retaining exportable WordPress. Shared hosting suits a simple organization; managed Cloud merits study when administrative separation, guaranteed resources or additional technologies have a specific use. The choice need not be dictated by the highest catalog tier.

For an agency, begin by mapping hosting products and access. For a merchant, define acceptable data loss and ability to recover orders after an incident. For an association, check renewal budget and account handover when managers change. These constraints are often more decisive than a brochure’s feature list.

Finally, request a total matching chosen websites, storage, email, domains and support level. Entry prices in Swiss francs help position the range but cannot certify this budget. Value-for-money assessment must include that configuration and administration time actually saved without inventing speed, observed availability or support experience.
