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.
Can I use another CMS other than WordPress?
If you want to use another content management service such as Drupal, Joomla, etc. you can install them manually on a web hosting instance (except Starter hosting) without any problem.
I don't have a domain name at Gandi, how can I link my WordPress hosting at Gandi to it?
If you don't have a domain name yet, you will need one to install your website on it. You can register a domain name at Gandi for free—with your Gandi hosting, your domain name is included.
If you have a domain name registered elsewhere, it is also possible to link it to WordPress hosting at Gandi, or easily transfer your domain name to Gandi.

In this case, you will need to manually update the DNS records at your domain provider to point to your WordPress hosting instance.
