====== Gandi Flex ======

Our Gandi Flex system allows you to add shares to your server for a specific period in the future, whether it be for a one-time or repeated event.

This allows you to increase the power of your server in the event of an anticipated increase of the load, for example. 

The added shares will be billed on an hourly basis. This means that when the shares are released at the end of the Flex operation, you are refunded on your prepaid account for the amount paid, minus the hours of use.

===== Setting up a Gandi Flex Operation =====

In order to program a share addition with Gandi Flex, please start by going to the main page of your hosting account, and click on the concerned server's name in order to access its management page.

In the "General Information" section, on the right hand side, use the "Modify" function for the "Active Gandi Flex operations" option :
