Benefits of an Isolated Network<\/h3>\n\n- Enhanced security for internal services<\/li>\n
- Private communication between multiple VMs<\/li>\n
- Prevents direct internet access to sensitive applications<\/li>\n
- Ideal for multi-tier application architecture<\/li>\n
- Supports Port Forwarding, Static NAT, and Load Balancers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Common Use Cases<\/h2>\n
An isolated network is useful for environments such as:<\/p>\n
\n- Web Server + Database Server<\/li>\n
- Application Server + Redis Cache<\/li>\n
- Internal API Servers<\/li>\n
- Development and Testing Environments<\/li>\n
- Production environments requiring network isolation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Steps to Create an Isolated Network on Accuweb.cloud<\/h2>\nStep 1: Log in to AccuWeb.Cloud<\/h3>\n
Log in to your AccuWeb.Cloud account and open your project.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Step-1-Log-in-to-AccuWeb.Cloud_.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\nStep 2: Open Networks<\/h3>\n
From the left navigation menu, click:<\/p>\n
Networking -> Networks<\/b><\/p>\n
You will see all existing Isolated Networks associated with your project.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nStep 4: Configure Network Details<\/h3>\n
Enter the following information:<\/p>\n
\n- Select regions available from the platform<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Step-4-Configure-Network-Details.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\n\n- Select your project<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Select-your-project.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\n\n- Network Name – <\/b>EN-001020-0009<\/li>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\nThese settings define the private IP range that your virtual machines will use.<\/p>\n
Step 5: Create the Network<\/h3>\n
Click Create<\/b>.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Step-5-Create-the-Network.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\nThe isolated network will be provisioned within a few moments.<\/p>\n
Connect Virtual Machines to the Isolated Network<\/h2>\n
After creating the network:<\/p>\n
\n- Open Instances<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Connect-Virtual-Machines-to-the-Isolated-Network.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\n2. Select the virtual machine you want to connect.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Select-the-virtual-machine-you-want-to-connect.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\n3. Click VM settings and go to Network<\/b>.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Click-VM-settings-and-go-to-Network.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\n4. Add and select the newly created Isolated Network.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n\n- Save the changes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
The VM will receive a private IP address from the network’s IP range.<\/p>\n
Accessing Services<\/h2>\n
Applications should communicate using the private IP addresses.<\/p>\n
For example:<\/p>\n
\n- Database: 10.1.1.20:3306<\/li>\n
- Redis: 10.1.1.30:6379<\/li>\n
- Internal API: 10.1.1.40:8080<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Since these services use private IPs, they remain inaccessible from the public internet unless you explicitly expose them.<\/p>\n
Best Practices<\/h2>\n\n- Place databases and cache servers only on the Isolated Network.<\/li>\n
- Expose only web or application servers to the internet.<\/li>\n
- Use private IP addresses for inter-server communication.<\/li>\n
- Configure firewall rules to allow only required traffic.<\/li>\n
- Use Port Forwarding or a Load Balancer only when public access is necessary.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Conclusion<\/h2>\n
An Isolated Network<\/b> in AccuWeb.Cloud provides a secure, Isolated Networking environment for your cloud infrastructure. By connecting your virtual machines to the same Isolated Network, you can enable fast and secure internal communication while keeping sensitive services protected from direct internet access. This approach is ideal for multi-tier applications, production workloads, and environments that require enhanced security and network isolation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
