Newsletter September 2018

The dog days of summer are over in the North while Spring has sprung south of the equator. And all the while, we’ve been busy to bring you a whole slew of new updates to our website.

A new home page, a new documentation page, and a step towards simplifying the way domains and other services are shared across multiple accounts are all on the program this month.

Happy reading! And of course, please feel free to let us know if you have any feedback about these newsletters or anything else. You can email us at feedback@gandi.net or contact us on Twitter, Facebook, or on the #gandi channel on Freenode.
