Publishing to OVH Cloud

Timothy-Fisher wrote on 6/9/2025, 5:14 AM

I have set up a hosting account at OVHcloud as recommended my Magix/Xara due to the discontinuation on the Xara online hosting service. I am struggling to publish my website at OVH (I have limited expertise ie a novice) I am trying to publish using the Web Designer publish feature but I get either a timeout or a login denied. message. I have the FTP settings for the new account and my domain has been transferred to OVH. Currrently floundering. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I think it's finally working. Not sure why or how! Just have to sort out the SSL certificate now. Thanks for your help.

I now have SSL certificate attached to the website. The OVH instructions are actually straightforward for this and the process worked fine once I had realised that I not only had to 'enable' the Free SSL certificate, but also to 'activate' it. Once 'activated' the process happened quite quickly. barnabywilde.uk if you would like to see it.
