You can manage all your IaaS servers with our resource management API!

Following the recent release of the public Simple Hosting API, I'd like to answer a frequently asked question about it.

Our Simple Hosting has been available for a month now. Here are some feedback, and some links you may find useful.

Snapshots now use 50% less quota than before, and  since the use of quota is divided in half, the operation is twice as fast!

This also means that you don't need as much available quota as before in order to take a Snapshot. For example, before, if you wanted to take a snapshot of a 10GB disk, you would have to have 10GB of unused quota available in your account. At present, however, for the same disk, you just need 5GB free.

See our Snapshot documentation here.

We are proud to present our simple new PaaS cloud hosting offer.

The CentOS 6 distribution is currently available at both our Paris and Baltimore datacenters in both 32 and 64 bit versions.

After 2 years of development, The stable version of Debian v6.0 ("Squeeze") was released yesterday (read the announcement).

Gandi actively suppots the Debian project (see the projects supported by Gandi), and so are pleased to be able to provide you this new version right away.

If you are going to create a new server we strongly suggest that you choose the 64-bit version.
