The Credit system

To get started with Gandi Hosting, we recommend that you have a look at http://wiki.gandi.net/en/iaas/basics

A credit is a virtual currency that can only be used at Gandi for our IaaS hosting products. It has been put in place to allow for billing resources by the hour.

When logged into your account, you will see a new page on our website that will allow you to quickly and simply visualize how many credits you have remaining, how much your hosting resources use, as well as being able to manage your credit options.

How it works

Generally speaking, here is how the billing system works:

  1. you purchase credits (by pack, on-demand, or by automatic purchase)
  2. you create your server by allocating resources as needed

The price of one credit equals:
