A while back, we set out to make a product with enough simplicity to make webmasters out of everyday people, while providing actual webmasters (no offense to everyday people) with the right bundle of tools to conjure up fully operational websites quickly and easily.

Gandi provides pre-installed hosting instances on our cloud infrastructure. This is a more conventional style of web hosting than our VPS Cloud servers, and one that many will find more familiar to use (like web shared hosting).
