Newsletter April 2019
Whether it’s renovating a house, redecorating a room, or revamping a wardrobe, whenever there’s those two letters—re—it means you’re going over something again, restoring what has lost its newness, rethinking what has lost its originality. A refresh.
The Latest Gandi News
- Gandimail: SOGo webmail update
- Simple Hosting: Update your PHP version
- Gandi Cloud: $6.30 per month for a server

This month, we have a number of updates to trusted Gandi products that needed a bit of reinvigoration. We updated SOGo, which brought with it a lot of long-awaited features and we’re launching smaller, more economical Gandi Cloud servers. Of course when it comes to programming languages like PHP, updates are always necessary, which is why you can now upgrade your PHP version from your Simple Hosting interface, and finally time is running out to take advantage of the half-off promo on Go Sitebuilder, the rejuvenated upgrade of our site builder service.

2. Simple Hosting: Update your PHP version!
Good news from Gandi’s hosting team this month—you can now easily update your PHP version on a PHP/MySQL instance!
Here’s how:
- Backup your files and your database
- Click on the “Configuration” tab in your Simple Hosting interface
- Click the “Update” button
In order to ensure your site is totally secure, we recommend updating to the most recent PHP version (PHP 7.2 or 7.3).
And don’t forget to make a back up of your site before proceeding to update your PHP version.
3. Gandi Cloud: $6.30 per month for a server
In more exciting hosting news, you can now spin up a Gandi Cloud XS-V6 server for just $6.30 a month.
The XS-V6 server includes: 1 CPU core, 256MB RAM, and 10 GB of disk space.
You can then modify and update the size of this server as needed up to a maximum of 16 CPU cores, 24 GB RAM, and 2 TB of disk space. Starting off at the XS-V6 size gives you the opportunity to test a project before scaling it up.
