Google Cloud Networking & Content Delivery

Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)

Global private networking for your Google Cloud resources, with subnets, routes and firewall rules.

What is Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)?

Google Cloud VPC networks are global: one network can span all regions, with regional subnets, firewall rules and routes. Shared VPC lets several projects use one centrally managed network.

Key features

  • Global networks with regional subnets
  • Firewall rules and policies
  • Shared VPC across projects
  • VPC peering and Private Service Connect
  • Flow logs

What it is used for

  • Private application networks
  • Shared networks across projects
  • Hybrid connectivity

When to use it

  • Every Google Cloud deployment
  • Private databases and services
  • Hybrid connectivity

When something else fits better

  • There is no alternative: it is the base of Google Cloud networking

How pricing works

VPC networks are free; you pay for components like Cloud NAT, VPN, external IPs and egress traffic. Prices change and differ by region; we confirm current costs for your setup before you commit.

Equivalent on AWS

The closest AWS service is Amazon VPC: your own isolated private network in AWS, with subnets, route tables and security controls.

How DomainHostly helps with Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)

  • Plan: choose the right setup, size and region for your workload and budget.
  • Set up securely: configure Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) with least-privilege access, encryption and backups where they apply.
  • Migrate: move from shared hosting, your own servers or the other cloud with minimal downtime.
  • Run and optimise: monitoring, updates and regular cost reviews so you only pay for what you use.

Networking & Content Delivery: Private networks, DNS, load balancing, CDN and connectivity between your sites and the cloud.

What to consider: Networking & Content Delivery

  • Plan IP ranges up front so networks can connect to your offices and each other later without overlaps.
  • Put databases and internal services in private subnets; expose only load balancers or CDNs publicly.
  • Watch data-transfer (egress) charges; a CDN often reduces both cost and latency.
