Simple
Quick start
Get started quickly
Once your account is activated, creating a cloud VPS is simple, and deploying it only takes 2 minutes.
Your cloud VPS will be delivered with the latest versions of the OS you select (Ubuntu, Debian, or Arch Linux), and connection is via SSH key for maximum security.
Flexibility
Best cloud hosting flexibility
The CPU/RAM configuration of a cloud VPS can be modified at any time in order to adapt to your needs.
The storage volumes on your cloud VPS are also expandable up to 1 TB, and several volumes can be attached to a single cloud VPS.
Finally, post-payment billing allows for the deployment of cloud hosting servers for only a couple hours, in order to meet occasional needs or peaks in load.
Transparent pricing
Clear and predictable cloud hosting prices
All available cloud hosting resources have a set price per hour. Your monthly cost is easy to calculate and so you can control your cloud hosting prices.
Billing by the hour gives you flexibility, though if your needs are stable, the price will be the same every month.
External bandwidth is not billed, so there are no hidden costs.
Open
Here are 3 ways to control your cloud hosting resources, depending on your preference, and your usual way of working — alone, or as a team.

Ansible
Ansible is the tool of choice for automatically performing a wide range of commands (playbook) on a cloud VPS without connecting to it.
Cloud-init
Cloud-init scripts help you personalize the configuration of a cloud VPS during its initial boot, allowing you the liberty to fine-tune the configuration of the cloud hosting servers that you create.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cloud?
A cloud (or the cloud) refers to the ability to access digital services (software, servers, data storage, networking, etc.) hosted on remote servers. Users connect using a secure internet connection. This type of solution enables users to store data remotely instead of on a local harddisk or physical server. The cloud, then, enables you to streamline the physical and financial costs of your digital infrastructure. It's also notably more flexible. The storage capacity and computing power can be easily adapted according to a customer's needs. The GandiCloud VPS offers you tools to rapidly deploy your applications.
Which type of cloud should I choose?
There are three types of cloud:
- the public cloud — available on the internet
- the private or business cloud — only available on a private network
- the hybrid cloud — a mix of public and private clouds
Providing Cloud servers is an important part of Gandi's business since 2008. If you want several servers in the same data center, you can interconnect them using a private network to optimize performances and security. Private networks are also free.
There are 5 steps to choosing your cloud:1. Select the size of your new server2. Select the datacenter location3. Choose your version of Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, or FreeBSD, depending on the applications you want to deploy4. Name your server and define a password for your account5. Start to use your new Cloud VPS

Which gaming cloud should I choose?
The idea of a gaming cloud means relegating the need to insert a disk or cartridge to install or play a particular game definitively to the past. Just like Spotify for music or Netflix to video, cloud gaming enables you to play video games on different devices, without them having to be where the majority of the computing takes place.
To determine which gaming cloud to choose, consider the following factors:
- Check your geographic distance. The further a provider's servers, the more data needs to travel long distances between servers and you, causing lags between when you perform an action on your end and the corresponding action in a game. This constraint is progressively going away with the number of data centers increasing as you read these words.
- Verify your internet connection. Multiplayer games need a strong, stable internet connection, with a reliable latency
- Take stock of your equipment. To take full advantage of cloud gaming, you only need an internet connection and a screen on which to play — a computer, a console, a smart TV, a smartphone, or a tablet, to name a few options.
As far as controllers and mouses go, be careful! Certain services, like PlayStation Now or Stadia are only compatible with their own, corresponding controllers.
What are the three main cloud service models?
The three Cloud service models are IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS. IaaS (or Infrastructure as a Service) provides you with your own server environment without the need to administer the physical part of the infrastructure (datacenter, climate control, electricity, server room, etc.) With IaaS, businesses benefit from technical resources on virtual machines that can be shut down, stopped, reinstalled, or configured.
PaaS (Platform as a Service) allows you to rent the use of servers and integrated tools. This configuration is extremely useful for being able to quickly have access to a development and testing environment but also to host a website without having to manage the system layers.
SaaS (Software as a Service) is the Cloud service that's most well known by the general public. It enables businesses to use, in the form of a software package, multiple applications available online, generally by subscription. Apps like Google and Office 365 are examples of SaaS. The provider handles the installation, configuration, operations, and maintenance of the environment.
