Private Networking for Servers: Public beta

Lately we’ve been hard at work on a number of behind-the-scenes upgrades to prepare for several new features.

The first of those is going into public beta today: private networks between servers.

We’re pretty excited about what we have for you too. We didn’t settle for a simple non-routable IP on a shared, public network. Nor did we settle for the same non-routable IP on a shared, secondary network.

Instead, we’re providing truly private networks—built on a separate private vlan for each customer. This means you get true privacy for your inter-server traffic.

Each server may be individually connected (or not connected) to your private network. You’ll need to have at least one server before being able to build a private network.

Traffic between servers on the private network is unmetered and will not count against any server’s bandwidth usage.

Wondering how to get in on this? Just login and go to Servers → Beta Programs to signup.

As always, email support if you have any questions.

PS: There’s more goodness on the way soon; stay tuned!
