Install PrestaShop with Gandi

Some hosts offer a partially automated store installation. This article will show you how to quickly and easily install PrestaShop with the Gandi host.

 

Go to the Gandi website (or the hosting provider of your choice) and create an account, or log in if you already have one.

Click on 'Web Hosting'.

 

Then click on 'Let's Go'.

 

Select the plan of your choice (billed annually or monthly). We recommend the advanced plan, which will meet the majority of the needs for launching a new PrestaShop store.

 

Search for the domain name you want to check its availability.

 

Select the domain extension of your choice.

 

Confirm your billing information.

 

You arrive on a page that summarizes your order.

 

Accept the TOS and confirm.

 

Your order is confirmed, now click on 'Let's get started' in the 'Hosting creation' section.

 

In the list, select PrestaShop, and specify the location.

 

Confirm the domain, which is the address where the site will be available.

 

Your PrestaShop store is currently being installed.

 

You will receive a confirmation email once the installation is complete.

 

Now go to the URL corresponding to your domain to launch the PrestaShop wizard, and start by choosing the language of the latter.

 

Accept the terms and conditions.

 

Specify the information of your store and your administrator account. The email and password entered here will serve as your identifier to access your back office.

 

The login information for your database will be filled in automatically, you can confirm and move on to the next step.

 

The installation of your store is now complete. This last page of the installation wizard reminds you of your login credentials to your back office. You can also access the front-office and back-office via the 'Discover your store' and 'manage your store' buttons.

 

When you click the link to the back office, before you can connect to it, you will be prompted to delete the install folder for security reasons.

 

Go back to your Gandi administration interface and click on the three dots to the right of your hosting plan, then on 'Manage'.

 

Click on 'Set a password' in the sFTP section

 

Enter the password of your choice, then retrieve the displayed login information.

 

Log in to FTP (consult this article if necessary) using these credentials, open the 'vhosts' folder, then the folder bearing the name of your domain, and delete, via a right click, the 'install' folder.

 

You can now reload the access page to your back office and log in via the credentials created earlier with the installation wizard.

 

You are ready to start setting up your store.
