July 9, 2008

GoGrid API - The GoGrid API is a REST-like Query interface that allows developers to customize and develop their own application built on GoGrid with support for PHP, Java, Python and Ruby on Rails. Our proprietary API allows GoGrid developers, admins, and users to programmatically access the functions that are available through our UI. For more detail visit our API page.


The F5 X-fer Forward feature allows all users of GoGrid's free F5 load balancing service to obtain source IP addresses of internet users from the log files of their web servers.

June 3, 2008

The IP Suggest tool displays a list of your UNUSED IP addresses while you are adding a new web/application or database server, thus eliminating the guess work involved when selecting a new IP.


The VIP Suggest tool is similar to IP Suggest tool, only for Load Balancers rather than for web/application and database servers. It displays a list of your UNUSED Virtual IP addresses while you are adding a new Load Balancer. When you assign the IP addresses of the application/web/database servers in which you want your Load Balancer to direct traffic, ALL IP addresses are displayed.
