Create secure internal networks for your projects with Private Networking

January 19, 2026

We’re excited to announce the release of Private Networking for xneelo Cloud, now available in beta. 

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.

Private Networking features

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

Instance interfaces
Attach multiple virtual network interface cards (vNICs) to connect an instance to several 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 connect them to the internet.

Security groups
Control inbound and outbound traffic with virtual firewalls.

Network topology
Visualise your entire network setup directly in your dashboard.

Beta programme and pricing

Private Networking is available at no charge during the beta period. On full release, billing will apply to:

  • Floating IPs
  • Routers

All other Private Networking features will remain available at no charge.
