The present invention describes a Fischer-Tropsch process for synthesis of hydrocarbons comprising contacting a charge comprising synthesis gas under Fischer-Tropsch synthesis operating conditions with at least one catalyst containing an active phase comprising at least one metal of group VIIIB selected from cobalt, nickel, ruthenium and iron deposited on an oxides support comprising alumina, silica and phosphorus, said oxides support not containing any spinel phase. The catalyst has an improved hydrothermal and mechanical resistance in a Fischer-Tropsch process while improving its catalytic performances.
