Plan a virtual private cloud around your workloads

Give internal traffic a deliberate structure

A virtual private cloud can separate application components from the public internet and give teams a predictable address plan. It is most useful when the design clearly identifies public, application, data, and management paths rather than treating “private” as automatically secure.

HostGanga can review network requirements for hosted workloads. VPC availability, isolation model, limits, and cross-service connectivity vary, so confirm the selected plan can support your topology before committing to it.

Address planning

Choose non-overlapping private ranges with room for application tiers, growth, and connected networks.

Service separation

Keep databases and internal tools away from direct public exposure while allowing required flows.

Documented routing

Record gateways, routes, DNS dependencies, and policy owners so troubleshooting remains practical.

Design around trust boundaries

Start with data flows: user to frontend, frontend to application, application to database, and administrators to management interfaces. Then place controls at each boundary. Private addressing reduces exposure but does not replace host firewalls, authentication, patching, or encryption.

• Avoid overlapping ranges with office or VPN networks
• Reserve space for future tiers and environments
• Expose only the intended gateway or public service

Plan operations before isolation

Private instances still need a controlled path for updates, monitoring, backups, and incident access. Decide whether outbound traffic uses NAT, whether a VPN or bastion handles administration, and how name resolution works inside the network.
