Two or more servers in the same datacenter can connect through a private network. A Private Network allows information to pass between servers without exposing data, or server address, to the public.

Private Networks can only connect servers hosted at the same datacenter.

View Private Networks

Find the Private Networks screen in the Speedyrails Manager under the Services menu.

• Label - The unique identifier for your private network.
• Location - The datacenter containing your private network.
• IP Block - The IPs assigned to your private network.

You can edit the label of a private network or delete a private network through the settings (gear) menu to the right of the network's IP block.
