Resilient network

Increase your application's availability. Load Balancers are a highly available, fully-managed service that work right out of the box and can be deployed as fast as a Droplet. Load Balancers will distribute incoming traffic across your Droplets, enabling you to build more reliable and performant applications by creating redundancy.

Redirect network traffic between any of your Droplets within the same data center using a Reserved IP, a static IP address that points to one of your Droplets. With Reserved IPs, you can create highly available server structures without a single point of failure.

Easily secure your infrastructure and define what services are visible on your Droplets. Cloud Firewalls are free and perfect for staging and production deployments.

Easily create a DNS record by entering your domain name and selecting your Droplet. Full featured DNS management allows you to easily control every aspect of your domain's DNS settings. Supports both master and slave zones.

Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) lets you create multiple private networks within your DigitalOcean account. Each VPC is isolated from other VPCs and the public Internet. Traffic sent between resources within a VPC does not count towards bandwidth quotas and can be used for database replication, file storage, and similar host-to-host communication.
