Frequently asked questions

I don't know how much traffic my website will get. Which Simple 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 your instance from Gandi's website. We recommend starting with either the S+ or M plan, and upgrade later if you notice that you need more power.

Can I use WordPress plugins?

Yes, once your WordPress website has been configured, you will have access to all the usual plugins. We just want to remind you to be careful about what plugins you install, since they impact how WordPress itself runs.

I am having problems accessing WordPress, what can I do?

The login information related to your WordPress installation is available on the administration page of your Simple 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 Simple Hosting instance without any problem.

I don't have a domain name at Gandi, how can I link my WordPress at Gandi to it?

If you don't have a domain name yet, you will need one before you can install your website on it. You can register a domain name at Gandi here.
It is also possible to have a domain name registered elsewhere and link it to your WordPress site hosted at Gandi. We have a tutorial to help you set up a manual WordPress installation here. In this case, you will need to manually update the DNS records at your domain provider to point to your instance.
