Why Partner with UpCloud?
I’ve been passionate about the hosting industry since 2001. Before founding UpCloud, my first company grew to become one of Finland’s largest shared web hosting providers, serving over 30,000 customers. Along the way, I faced the same challenges many of you know well—24/7 on-call responsibilities, solving technical issues, and managing customer inquiries.
At UpCloud, we’ve designed a platform that solves these challenges, offering reliability, scalability, and unparalleled support. We understand the pressures you face because we’ve been there too. Partner with us, and let’s help you focus on growing your business while we handle the rest.
Sincerely, Joel Pihlajamaa CTO, Founder

Simple, secure, resilient
The intuitive Control Panel helps you get set up quick and easy or use our fully-featured API for both HTTP(S) and TCP applications.
Load Balancer is built on our true and trusted infrastructure. Service critical applications can improve resilience with the two-node Production plan.
Generate SSL certificates dynamically or bring your own to easily enable HTTPS connectivity for secure communication.
Built for ease of use
Create a fixed point of entry to your application and never worry about updating DNS records again.
Configure front and backends exactly as you want. Keep your services and resources organized and private using our unlimited SDN Private Networks.
Thanks to our policy to never charge for Internet transfer, you can forget about data transfer costs and focus on developing your applications.
Plug-and-play with any existing SDN Private Network or easily set up new. Load Balancer fits great in front of any application or service.
Hosting multiple secure domains couldn’t be simpler. Built-in certificate management lets you easily import existing SSL certificates which can then be assigned to the right frontend as needed.
Be always on top of the load on your services and resource usage with the included health and connections monitoring.
The most common use case for Load Balancers is exactly what the name implies, distributing the incoming connections between 2 or more backend application servers. Using the customisable load balancing methods from roundrobin to least connection, you can make sure your application servers share the workload appropriately.
While common solutions of load balancing allow developers to build resilience in the backend, the load balancer itself can often become a single point of failure. Not so with UpCloud’s Load Balancer! Not only does the Load Balancer benefit from our N+1 redundancy, but it also allows running two concurrent Load Balancer nodes for the ultimate resilient cloud infrastructure!
Load Balancer enables easy SSL usage via built-in certificate bundle management. Just drop in your SSL certificates and enable HTTPS connectivity. Furthermore, the frontend configuration rules allow fine-grain control of incoming requests akin to a firewall. And behind the Load Balancer, all traffic is secured using our SDN Private Networks.
Load Balancer offers two plans to support developers and large businesses alike.
Start to build your application or just test out the service with an affordable Development plan. Then when you are ready to go live, simply scale up to Production for high availability!

Managed Load Balancer currently supports round robin only. Other algorithm options will be added later.
Yes! Don’t worry about the data transfer costs, we at UpCloud have eliminated them altogether. Read more about our Zero-Cost Egress initiative.
Load Balancer uses our SDN private networks for connecting to the backend servers. As such, it is currently limited to working within any single data center. However, as we develop the SDN functionality, cross DC connectivity will become available.
Updates are performed as rolling updates, meaning zero downtime for multi-node services.
