Your cloud networking services options
Four networking products, each included or available at a clear per-unit price.
DNS Management
Host your DNS on Krystal’s global anycast network for fast resolution worldwide. Manage zones and records through the console or API. Supports A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, SRV and 10 other record types. Free with every account.
SDN Private Networks
Create isolated virtual networks for secure communication between VMs. Data transfer within the same zone is free. Connect your network to the internet or keep it fully isolated. Protect it with firewall rules applied at the network layer.
Load Balancers
Distribute traffic across multiple VMs with round-robin, least-connections or sticky routing. Health checks remove unhealthy instances automatically. Supports HTTPS enforcement, SSL certificates via Let’s Encrypt or pass-through, and proxy protocol for preserving client IPs. £10/month per load balancer.
Firewall
Define rules at the hypervisor level and apply them across one or more VMs without configuring each machine individually. Manage through the console or API. Included with every VM at no extra cost.
What you can do with Krystal’s cloud network solutions
Krystal’s networking products work together to support production-grade infrastructure at any scale.
Run production web applications
Put a load balancer in front of two or more VMs, enforce HTTPS and let health checks route traffic away from any instance that goes down. Add firewall rules to restrict access to admin ports and back-end services.
Isolate internal services
Use SDN private networks to keep databases, caches and internal APIs off the public internet. VMs on the same private network communicate at no transfer cost, and firewall rules control exactly which ports and protocols are open.
Host and manage DNS for client domains
Agencies and resellers can manage DNS for any number of domains through one account. The global anycast network gives every domain fast resolution, and the API makes it easy to automate zone changes as part of a deployment pipeline.
Deploy across regions
Deploy VMs in London, Amsterdam or New York and use DNS to route users to the nearest location. Private networks and firewall rules can be configured per zone, so your security model stays consistent as you grow.
The infrastructure behind your cloud network services
Krystal owns and operates its network hardware. We don’t resell someone else’s infrastructure.
IPv4 and IPv6 support
Every VM comes with one IPv4 address included. Additional IPv4 addresses are available at £2/month each. IPv6 addresses are free, with no limit on how many you can add.
Transfer
Inbound transfer to your VMs is free, including DDoS-protected traffic. Each VM includes 1TB of external transfer, pooled across all VMs in your organisation. Overage is charged at £0.02/GB.
100G backbone with redundant paths
Multiple redundant routes in and out of every data centre reduce latency and add resilience if any single path goes down.
DDoS protection included
Every VM includes real-time, fully automated DDoS mitigation at no extra cost. No configuration needed.
Cloud networking services pricing
Most networking features are included at no extra cost. Load Balancers and additional IP addresses are the only items with a separate charge. Full pricing is on the cloud pricing page.
