‘Private Networking’ is a set of advanced features that let you design custom networking setups in xneelo Cloud. You can create isolated, internal networks and control how traffic flows between your instances and the internet.

With Private Networking, you can build anything from simple private connections between two servers to complex, multi-tier environments with multiple networks, routers, and security rules.

Read on to learn more about the Private Networking features and the terms of the ‘free period’.


  • Private Networking features

    The Private Networking features work together like the building blocks of a virtual data centre, giving you the freedom to design a network layout that fits your project.

    Networks and subnets – Create isolated internal networks, define private IP ranges & gateways.

    Instance interfaces – Attach multiple virtual network cards (vNICs) to an instance to connect it to multiple networks.

    Floating IPs – Assign public IPs to instances and move them between resources for failover or flexibility.

    Routers – Link private networks to each other or to the internet.

    Security groups – Act as virtual firewalls for your ports and interfaces, controlling inbound and outbound traffic.

    Note: Project limits apply on network resources. Find out how to request a project limit increase.





  • When to use Private Networking

    Private Networking is ideal for use cases that require custom network topologies, traffic isolation, or enhanced internal security.

    The features are aimed at more advanced users, who are familiar with concepts like IP addressing, subnets, and routing. 

    Here are a few example use cases:

    • Build multi-tier applications (web, app, database) with isolated layers.
    • Create secure internal communication between servers.
    • Segment environments such as development, staging, and production.
    • Run test or staging environments without internet access.
    • Integrate with VPNs or on-premises systems using custom IP ranges.






  • Free period

    You can use the new Private Networking features in xneelo Cloud at no charge for a period of time.

    When the free period ends, billing will begin for:

    • Floating IPs
    • Routers

    You’ll receive at least 1 month’s notice before the free period ends. Any pricing or feature changes will be communicated to all active Cloud customers before they take effect.
