Frequently asked questions
I don't know how much traffic my website will get. Which best WordPress hosting plan should I choose?
If you don't know how many visitors you expect to have on your website, no worries! You can very easily change the size of the WordPress hosting plans from Gandi's website. We recommend starting with either the cheap Wordpress hosting Starter plan or the Advanced plan, and upgrade later if you notice that you need more power.
Can I use WordPress plugins?
Yes, once your WordPress hosting has been configured, you will have access to all the usual plugins. We just want to remind you to be careful about which plugins you install, since they impact how WordPress itself runs.
I am having problems accessing WordPress, what can I do?
The WordPress installation is automatic and easy. The login information related to your WordPress hosting installation is available on the administration page of your Web Hosting instance on Gandi's website. If you are totally stuck, you can always contact our support team.
