# Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)

### Features <a href="#overview" id="overview"></a>

A Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is a private network interface that maximizes users' data privacy and security with truly isolated instances. VPC is completely isolated from the public space. Outsiders, therefore, cannot access the server and upload or download your data via a public network (e.g., SSH). Store your sensitive data in this isolated server will give you the greatest peace of mind.

### Initial Setup of Virtual Private Cloud

To use Virtual Private Cloud, you need to use our **CentOS 8 VPC** template and manually modify the private network settings with your preferred IP through the console.

### Regional Availability

Virtual Private Cloud is available in all regions.
