Networking

Secure and control the traffic to your applications with private networking, traffic filtering, and load balancing.

Domains and DNS

Manage DNS for Droplets, DigitalOcean Load Balancers, and non-DigitalOcean resources all in the same place.

Reserved IPs

DigitalOcean Reserved IPs are publicly-accessible static IP address that you can assign to Droplets and instantly remap to other Droplets in the same datacenter.

Load Balancers

Load balancers distribute traffic across pools of Droplets for high availability setups.

Cloud Firewalls

Restrict traffic with network-based, stateful firewalls for Droplets.

IPv6

Compared to IPv4, IPv6 provides a larger address space, increased security, and other benefits. Enable IPv6 on a Droplet to gain access to its 16 configurable IPv6 addresses.

VPC

A Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is a private network interface for collections of DigitalOcean resources. VPC networks provide a more secure connection between resources because the network is inaccessible from the public internet and other VPC networks.
