The new version of Gandi AI is available in both of our datacenters

After 2 years of development, The stable version of Debian v6.0 ("Squeeze") was released yesterday (read the announcement).

Gandi actively suppots the Debian project (see the projects supported by Gandi), and so are pleased to be able to provide you this new version right away.

If you are going to create a new server we strongly suggest that you choose the 64-bit version.

You can see the list of distributions that you can use to create your Gandi cloud VPS at

Ubuntu distributions 10.04 and 10.10 are now available in 64-bits

We would also like to remind you that the price for additional RAM has been reduced to $5 (£3.16, or €4) excl. VAT) under A rates for 256MB, and the limit that your server can be configured for has been increased to 12GB.

This version brings you a completely new domain name transfer process

A new version that is richer, larger, and easier to use!

We took a bit longer than planned, as we were stuck due to an old Linux Kernel version that was preventing us from being able to provide the latest distributions. Following the last update, and in anticipation of the upcoming one, we are now able to move forward on this issue in the coming weeks. Our first addition will be version 9.10 of Ubuntu.

Kernel and Distribution Upgrades

The boot process for the latest distributions requires a recent  Linux kernel. Gandi's hosting platform currently uses 2.6.18-xenU, which is incompatible with distributions released in the end of 2009, such as Ubuntu Karmic. We are in the final beta testing phase of a new kernel that will allow you to perform the update without risk.

Therefore, please be aware that if you try to upgrade your server to one of these latest versions of your distributions before we implement the new kernel, that an incompatibility may arise. If this occurs, you will need to contact our support team so that your server can be rebooted.

A new version of Gandi for a new beginning. Tell us what you think of it at the GandiBar!

Hello,

We have been testing the new version of Gandi.net for the past few weeks/months so that the transition to version 3 would be as smooth as possible for everyone. Even though you may not always notice it, we have re-written a significant amount of code, and so there is the possibility that some new bugs might come up.

If you encounter a problem or detect a bug, please let us know, by sending us a mail to our customer care team with as much much detailed information as possible (operating system, web browser an version used, your Gandi handle, a screenshot, etc.). The contact form that you can access by clicking on the "support" button.
