Creating a Private Network

For Cloud Servers and Dedicated Servers managed in the Cloud Panel

You can use a private network to divide your existing network into several logical networks. This division allows you more flexibility if you want to assign your servers to individual network segments. In addition, you can increase the performance of your network by prioritizing certain data packages and by reducing broadcasts.

To create a private network, please proceed as follows:

Log in to your IONOS account.
Click Menu > Server & Cloud in the title bar.
Optional: Select the desired Server & Cloud contract.
The Cloud Panel opens.

Click Network > Private Network in the navigation br on the left.
Click Create.
Enter the desired name for the private network.
- Enter the desired network address.
- Enter the desired subnet mask.

Notes

You can use the entered network address and subnet mask to make it easier to identify the private network.
To configure the network address and subnet mask, you must log in to the relevant server and enter the correct values.

Select the desired data center.
Click Create.

The private network has been created.
