Frequently asked questions
Why create a website?
A website is your company's storefront or your calling card on the web.
As a professional, creating a website enables you to:
- Professionalize your online presence
- Increase your brand awareness
- Demonstrate your expertise
- Earn the trust of internet users
- Inform your prospective customers of your catalog of products and services
- Gain new customers
- Increase revenue
How do I create a website?
You can create a website in three easy steps:
1. Choose a web hosting solution
In order for your website to be available online, it needs to be "hosted." Web hosting is the basis of your website, and the amount of power allocated to it should be determined according to the type of website, the amount of content you plan to publish, the number of visits per month, etc. There are many web hosting packs available to meet your professional as well as personal needs.
To simplify your website's customization, installation of a Content Management System (CMS) is automatic on all Gandi's web hosting packs, which you can select according to your project:
- Creating a blog: WordPress
- Creating a showcase website: WordPress
- Starting an e-commerce business: Prestashop, or WordPress with WooCommerce
2. Choose a domain name
Choosing a domain name ending (also known as a domain extension) for your domain name is a critical step when creating your website: along with the domain name you choose, this is how you stand out on the internet. Make sure to choose a simple domain name, such as one that matches your brand name or your industry (e.g. yourbrand.com, yourbrand.shop, etc.)
Your domain name—which you can choose from among 90 domain extensions—is included with your hosting pack at Gandi. You'll also enjoy, for free:
- 2 email mailboxes with 3 GB of storage,
- an unlimited number of redirections and aliases,
- 5 GB of data storage for your documents.
3. Install your products
For greater convenience, at Gandi, the rest of the rest of the process is completely automated, including:
- The connection between your domain name and your hosting for a customized online presence.
- The content management system (CMS) of your choice is installed on your web hosting so you can create content and customize your website.
- Your free SSL certificate included with your hosting is installed on your web hosting to help ensure your site's security and improve your search engine ranking.
In a few seconds, everything is ready, without any technical restrictions and then it's up to you to customize your website as you see fit.
Which solution should I choose for my website?
Creating an internet site is now an option for anyone and everyone, thanks to a wide variety of available solutions. Your choice of these options mostly depends on the type of website that you want to create and your technical competency. Here are our recommendations for beginners:
- Create a blog: we recommend creating a WordPress website. You'll be able to publish your first articles in just a few minutes.
- Create a showcase website: WordPress is also the best option for this type of site, with the same Starter web hosting pack.
- Start an e-commerce business: to create a e-commerce website, you can choose between WordPress using the WooCommerce plugin and the Prestashop CMS. Prestashop offers a wide variety of features, but it's slightly more challenging to use and requires an Advanced hosting pack.
Whatever your project, if you decide to make a website with WordPress, we recommend starting out with a Starter website pack. Then, as your needs increase, you can upgrade to a higher pack.
Can I upgrade my hosting service?
Gandi's website packs are completely flexible so that they grow along with your website. You can create your website on your Starter pack and then upgrade to an Advanced, Pro, or Business pack whenever your want.
How will my site be secure?
Gandi's website packs include an unlimited number of SSL certificates. An SSL certificate protects internet users against data theft using the HTTPS protocol. It ensures visitors to your website can trust it. An SSL certificate enables you to:
- Secure logins to a website
- Guarantee data transfers are secure
- Offer a quality user experience
- Improve your website's natural SEO
Can I add email addresses to my pack?
To help you define your online identity, Gandi's website packs include 2 Standard, custom email addresses using your website's name. In addition to these two free email addresses, you can purchase as many additional GandiMail email addresses as you need.
Can I install multiple sites on my hosting pack?
As opposed to our Starter pack, which is limited to the installation of one website, Advanced, Pro, and Business packs let you install multiple websites on your hosting pack, specifically:
- Advanced website pack: up to 5 websites
- Pro website pack: up to 10 websites
- Business website pack: 15 or more websites
These are purely informational estimates and the exact capacity will depend on the size of the website and the traffic each gets.
