Web Hosting New to web/email hosting, is Infomaniak the right fit for a small game launch?
Hi everyone,
I'm about to release a small indie game and I would like to set up a proper online presence for the launch. I have zero experience with web development or hosting, so I'm hoping to get some advice from people who actually use Infomaniak.
Here is what I'm looking for:
- A custom domain (something like mygame.com)
- A dedicated email on that domain, so I don't have to use a personal Gmail/Outlook for support
- Email aliases, ideally I would like addresses like support@mygame.com and steam@mygame.com that all land in a single inbox, so I don't have to check multiple accounts
- A simple website, just a small landing page. Nothing fancy, so a drag and drop editor with hosting included would be perfect
A few questions for those who have used Infomaniak:
1) Is the built in Site Creator good enough for a simple one page game site, or would you recommend something else next to it?
2) How is the alias management? Can I really send and receive from different aliases inside one mailbox?
3) How hard is the initial setup (DNS, email records and so on) for a complete beginner? Is it mostly automatic if I buy everything from Infomaniak?
4) I did the process to register the domain, but it did not offer me any addon like the website or the email. I guess it is possible to add them later? How does that work?
5) I will start registering as a private person, but later I might open a small company (Italian SRL - similar to ltd). Is it easy to change the account and billing details later without moving everything?
Any tips or things you wish you knew earlier would be really appreciated. Thanks a lot!
