Virtual Private Cloud
Easily customize and secure your cloud resources within private, isolated networks.
Simple, cost effective VPC hosting
Secure
DigitalOcean Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is a logically isolated network for cloud resources. VPC gives you more control over how your resources communicate, with isolation reminiscent of what you might achieve running systems on premises.
Simple
Easily create multiple VPCs through our developer-friendly dashboard, CLI, and API. We automatically create VPCs for your resources when you don't want to customize network settings.
Customizable
Configure your VPC to meet your precise requirements. Specify an IP address range to interconnect another network or configure Firewalls to control traffic in and out.
Extendable
DigitalOcean's VPC Peering helps to enable secure, private communication between VPCs within your account, across different regions or within the same region. Connect resources like Droplets, DBaaS, and DOKS clusters as if they're on the same network, with up to 50 peering connections per account (depending on account type).
VPC NAT gateway is now generally available for centralized egress
Get ready for a new level of security and control. Create a single, secure egress point for all resources in your VPC, no public IPs required.
The price DigitalOcean came back with was literally 20 to 30% cheaper than what we had been paying at AWS. That gave us a lot of motivation to explore who DigitalOcean is and what services they could provide for us.

The prerequisite for any cloud provider is availability. If your platform isn't reliable and functioning at peak performance, it doesn't matter if your support is great or your prices are low. I'm confident in DigitalOcean's infrastructure, service level, and scale, and I'm willing to vouch for that.

Create a VPC network in seconds
Creating a VPC network takes just a few second. Simply pick a data center region, IP range, name, and description.
Create as many VPCs as you need to support your business requirements. There's no cost for creating VPCs, or for transfer to and within them.
Create or update resources to operate within the VPC of your choice. Droplets, Kubernetes, Load Balancers, and Databases all run within VPC.
VPC Pricing
Ingress Data Transfer to VPCs is free, and you can create as many VPCs as you want for no additional cost. Egress Data Transfer out of VPCs to the internet counts against resource bandwidth quotas, and Intra-datacenter VPC peering is available at no additional cost. Inter-datacenter VPC Peering is priced at $0.01/GiB.

Frequently asked questions for Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)
What is DigitalOcean VPC?
How does VPC enhance security for a Digital Native Enterprise
For a Digital Native Enterprise, VPC provides a crucial layer of security by isolating your resources and enabling you to control all traffic with customizable firewalls. This is essential for protecting sensitive data and maintaining compliance.
How does VPC Peering work?
VPC Peering allows you to securely connect two or more VPCs, enabling private communication between resources in different VPCs, even across different regions. This is ideal for microservices architectures or connecting different environments.
Can I customize the IP address range for my VPC?
Yes, you can customize the IP address range and set up custom firewall rules to control traffic within your private network. This level of control allows you to tailor the network to your specific needs.
How does VPC work with a Managed Database?
What DigitalOcean resources can be placed in a VPC?
What makes DigitalOcean’s VPC different?
DigitalOcean's VPC is different due to its simplicity and regional scope. Unlike more complex, multi-region VPCs offered by other providers, DigitalOcean's is confined to a single data center region, making setup and management straightforward. This design simplifies networking and security, while still allowing for private communication between regions through VPC peering.
