📄 Editorial Review

Infomaniak (founded 1994, Geneva) is a Swiss, employee-owned cloud and hosting provider known for its privacy-first, eco-responsible posture and sovereign infrastructure. They have grown from an ISP and web pioneer into a full cloud platform serving 200,000+ customers, run by 200+ employees, and operating data centers they design and manage in Switzerland. Since 2007 they have powered operations with certified renewable energy and continuously extend sustainability practices (outside-air cooling without A/C, long hardware lifecycles, own solar, 200% CO₂ offset via myclimate).

The catalog spans mainstream hosting and specialty cloud:

• Shared Web hosting: SSD storage (e.g., 250 GB/20 sites on flagship plan), unlimited traffic and databases, EV or free DV SSL, automatic daily backups, SSH/Cron, WordPress and 100+ CMS installers, and performance isolation (DBs on dedicated back-end nodes).
• Cloud servers (Managed & Unmanaged VPS): OpenStack-based instances with guaranteed resources, root access, snapshots, block/object storage, load balancers, and GPU options; managed variants add tooling, backups, and support.
• Very High Availability (VHA) Cloud: multi-DC clustered deployments with a contractual SLA up to 99.99%+ and tailored design.
• Public Cloud & Kubernetes: managed Kubernetes atop the Public Cloud ecosystem (instances, LB, DNSaaS, storage).
• Email & Collaboration: Mail Service plus kDrive/Swiss Backup for workspace and backups.
• Colocation / Housing: racks and interconnects in Tier III+ Swiss DCs.
• Jelastic Cloud (PaaS): turn-key PaaS with per-resource scaling.
• Specialty media: professional radio and video streaming platforms.
• Domains & SSL: registrar services and Sectigo/Let’s Encrypt certificates.

Positioning is strongly European and "sovereign": data, software, and support are kept in Switzerland; solutions rely on in-house software or auditable open-source (OpenStack, Debian, etc.); no data is mined or used to train AI; vendor lock-in is mitigated through open formats and documented APIs. A notable limitation is the lack of classic off-the-shelf dedicated physical servers; needs there are met via cloud/VHA or colocation.
