Domain name registrar and cloud hosting provider Gandi has launched its Simple Hosting, a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) hosting application that supports several LAMP (Linux Apache MySQL, PHP) applications.
The new service offers the benefits of a virtual machine hosting application without the complexity of VPS servers or associated administration.
Gandi Simple Hosting integrates the price and simplicity of shared hosting with the flexibility and power of Cloud technology.
The Platform-as-a-Service hosting application gives individuals and companies a secure way to create complex sites with applications and databases, without needing an expertise or financial resources.
Gandi said it is also plans to enhance the Simple Hosting platform to support other popular dedicated platforms, like Ruby and Java, in future releases.
Gandi U.S. Operations vice president Thomas Stocking said the company’s research indicates that its customers want the benefits of true virtual machine hosting, without the complexity of VPS servers and the associated administration.
"This LAMP-stack PaaS is in answer to their many requests for such a solution," Stocking said.
