Load Balancer

Next Application Scaling
High Performance and Capability

Distribute traffic across multiple targets and prevent a single point of failure.

Overview

Load balancers allow you to easily scale your applications by automatically distributing traffic across your infrastructure. Manage common use cases like TLS encryption or create an internet entry point to direct traffic to your Hetzner cloud networks.

Pricing

Only pay for what you use! With Hetzner VPS Load Balancer, we only charge you for each hour the load balancer is running. If you no longer want to use the load balancer, simply remove it.

Facilities

Dedicated Servers

Harness the power of Hetzner dedicated servers and combine both the virtual and physical worlds in one load balancer.

Protocols

Our load balancers are capable of handling any TCP-based traffic as well as HTTP and HTTPS. Depending on the client’s capabilities, they will speak HTTP/2 by default.

High Availability

We completely manage the load balancer for you. Using a fully optimized and automated system, we ensure that your load balancer is always up and running.

End TLS

Free up CPU cycles from your nodes by offloading TLS (SSL) decryption to your load balancer. If security is your primary concern, you can pass encrypted traffic to your application servers.

Health Checks

Ensure that your application can survive server failures with active health checks. Additionally, we perform passive health checks on every request to ensure that traffic is only directed to healthy targets.

Private Networks

Load Balancers work great with Hetzner Cloud Networks. Improve your security by configuring your Load Balancer as the only point of entry into your infrastructure.

Proxy Protocol

Proxy protocol provides a convenient way to pass connection information such as client IP through your servers.

Rapid Configuration (RE)

Load Balancers are easy to configure, just like your cloud server, they are ready in seconds and we apply configuration changes almost instantly.
