How Load Balancer works

01

Create load balancer

Order one of 8 load balancer plans based on your traffic volume through your Client Portal.

02

Configure forwarding conditions

Add active servers to your load balancer and create port forwarding rules based on a selected algorithm.

03

Monitor performance

See your load balancer CPU usage, number of sessions, and other metrics in real time.

Popular use cases

Web Applications

Balance your incoming HTTP and HTTPS requests across multiple web servers to allow your application to be scaled horizontally by adding more servers as needed.

Micro-services

Distribute requests among different micro-services, facilitate service discovery, enable blue-green deployments, or improve security via SSL termination.

Fault Tolerance

If one server fails, use load balancer to get your traffic redirected to the remaining healthy servers, minimizing downtime and maintaining high availability.

Gaming Servers

Assign your gaming sessions to multiple servers to handle high volumes of concurrent players. Maintain low latency and premium gaming experience.

Load Balancer Benefits

Enhanced Scalability and Redundancy

Load balancers let you add or remove server instances easily. This helps your network adjust to changing demands. Our system supports active sessions of up to 80,000. This means your applications can manage many concurrent connections. These systems manage traffic smoothly with protocols like HTTP, HTTP/2, HTTPS, and TCP. Their built-in redundancy ensures high availability. This improves availability and keeps your services reliable.

Optimized Performance and Protocol Support

The load balancer uses algorithms like round robin, least connections, and source IP hashing. These methods share requests evenly among servers. This smart routing reduces latency and increases throughput. It handles bandwidth up to 550 Mbps and allows monthly traffic of 20 TB. The system monitors the network and makes real-time adjustments. This ensures top performance, even during peak times.

Cost Efficiency and Predictable Billing

Our load balancer pricing begins at €0.02 per hour. This makes it an affordable choice for any business. You can save money by using resources effectively. This prevents server overloads. Overloads can cause costly downtime and added provisioning. The pay-as-you-go model and flexible billing options make it easy to manage costs. You can also scale resources when necessary. This straightforward cost structure helps with budgeting and resource planning.

Easy Management and Monitoring

Nortonhost servers' load balancers come with intuitive management interfaces, which simplify configuration and monitoring. You can quickly set up forwarding conditions. Simply add active servers. Then, create port rules using your selected balancing algorithm. You can check your load balancer's health by watching CPU usage, session counts, and network throughput in real time. This management process meets industry standards for network administration.
