What's up - Week 6
By Nicolas on Tuesday 5 February 2008, 13:50 - Gandi - Permalink
After a brief product stabilization period, and to celebrate our new Gandi news system, we are restarting our "What's up" blog entry series to give you a view of the new services available at Gandi as we roll them out.
- The first point is hard to miss. Gandi's website has gone widescreen! We were beginning to feel a bit squeezed in our website optimized for 800 x 600. There is therefore no longer the problem of the too-long domain name which is cut-off, the lack of information on certain tables due to lack of space...for those that don't know what I'm referring to, press Control+F5 to empty your web browser's cache.
- The news system at Gandi has been transferred to the Gandi iwi blog, so we recommend that you update your RSS news reader with the new address. This is where we will be posting maintenance updates, upgrade information, improvements, and other news addressed to our customers.
- On Gandi Hosting: the management of reverse DNS is finally available! You can activate it in your server administration area by clicking on the 'activate' link located to the right of your IP address.
- If you are not a DNS zone expert, we now provide you with a new page on our website where you can simply attach your domain name to your Gandi server. This is in the lower-right hand part of the domain name control panel.
- We are in the final phase of the test for the .IT ccTLD, which will be available for all residents of the European Union next week.
- We are in final internal test phases for servers running on BSD and Solaris. We will be making them available to those of you that might be interested in testing the servers and providing us with feedback.
Comments
Any ETA on the Apache mod_rewrite for Gandi AI? I see that a few french people are asking for "url rewrite" in the Gandi wiki now and their questions go unanswered.
We are on it...it's done but the release is blocked because of a more complicated part. Devs here are currently testing this big part (xml scheme upgrade)...once done, new features will arrive through Gandi AI including rewrite capability
Change of URL ?
What's the 'iwi blog' I should be changing to then ?
The Solaris and BSD hosting, will it be based on zones and jails respectively? I'm a Solaris person myself and if the pricing will be similar to the current Xen Linux hosting, consider me on boat for a Solaris VPS.
I am interested in BSD hosting, and would be willing to provide feedback.
