Transparency and Flexibility!
Cloud servers have been an integral part of Gandi's offer since 2008. We strongly believe in the benefits of the flexibility of virtual servers based on IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service), which lets us provide you with a service that is very flexible in terms of both the configuration of your servers and their resource consumption.
At Gandi, your server is delivered in less than 2 minutes. You can then change its configuration (RAM/CPU) as needed, and add or remove resources (private network, additional IPv4/IPv6, or additional disks).
Finally, the notion of transparency is one of Gandi's core values. It guides us in the conception of Cloud solutions that are easy to understand, both in usage and billing.

Quality: 99.95% uptime and 24/6 customer support
We are all about providing you with a high-quality service. Our monthly target uptime is 99.95%. Our customer support is freely accessible 24/6 for critical incidents.
Flexible & Clear billing
The strength of Gandi's cloud offer resides in the high degree of flexibility both in the configuration and billing of your servers. No commitment, no surprises, you only pay for what you consume.
Secure and expandable storage
You can enlarge a disk up to 2TB on the fly and attach up to 8 disks per server. Additionally, our SAN disk infrastructure guarantees rapid operations and a high level of redundancy.
Automatic and manual snapshots
Activate snapshots to save images of your disks, from which you can restore a previous version if necessary. 3 automatic snapshot profiles are possible, and manual snapshots can be performed on the fly, such as when performing an update. Please note that snapshots are not a replacement of a backup solution and policy.
Popular Linux distributions and FreeBSD
Choose among recent stable version of Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS or even FreeBSD. You can also manually install any distribution you want with ease.
Incoming/Outgoing traffic included
You are not billed for traffic (incoming or outgoing). Incoming traffic is unlimited, and up to 3TB for outgoing is included, after which we may limit the connection.
Free private networks
If you have several servers at the same datacenter, you can connect them within a private network in order to maximize performance and security. Private networks are totally free.
IPv4 / IPv6
You can attach up to 4 public IP addresses to a server, and move them to another server within the same datacenter. IPv4 are billed as an option, and IPv6 are free.
FAQ / frequently asked questions
The predefined profiles do not meet my needs. How can I have a custom configuration?
Though you are asked to choose a predefined profile at creation, you are free to personalize it once it has been delivered. You can increase its performance, or scale it back if you overestimated your needs.
You can:
- Increase or decrease the number of CPU cores
- Increase or decrease the amount of RAM
- Add additional volumes (disks) to your servers
- Increase the size of a specific volume (it is not possible, however, to reduce the size of a volume. For this, you must create a smaller one and copy the data to it).
- Add one or more additional public IP addresses (IPv4/v6 or IPv6 only). You can attach up to 4 IPs to a server.
What is the difference between a Gandi Cloud server and a Simple Hosting instance ?
A Cloud server is a complete virtual machine, whereas a Simple Hosting instance is based on a Linux container. It is your server to which you have root access and that you may (and must) configure to meet your needs.
Is my server's data backed up?
Gandi's cloud infrastructure has replication mechanisms in place to guarantee a high level of protection for your data. Note, however, that this does not substitute for periodic and remote backups, which are your responsibility. Snapshots allow you to restore a disk and its data to a previous state, as some protection against accidental actions that cause a loss of data. We recommend that you activate Snapshots on your server's disks.
When will my Cloud server be ready to use?
One of the benefits of an IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) solution is automatic resource delivery. No matter when you order a Gandi cloud server, the delivery starts instantly, automatically, and without any need of human intervention. The configuration and system boot takes between 1 and 2 minutes, after which you will receive an email informing you when your new server is available.
Can I choose the location of my server?
Yes, during the creation process you can choose which datacenter will house your server. We have 4 datacenters: 3 in France, and 1 in Luxembourg. There is no difference in price between the different locations, though certain options (private networks) and actions (moving an IP address between servers) requires that your servers be located at the same datacenter. We do not manage the transfer of services between datacenters, though you are free to migrate your data if needed.
