What you get
A **managed load balancer** sits in front of your servers on a stable IP and distributes incoming traffic across them. You attach your backends, and it handles the routing, health checks and failover — no HAProxy configs to hand-write, no separate account to open.
- **One stable entry point** for however many servers sit behind it.
- **Health checks** — a backend that stops responding is quietly taken out of rotation until it recovers.
- **Hourly billing** from the same crypto balance as your servers. Spin it up for a launch, tear it down after — you only pay for the hours it exists.
When you'd use one
- **High availability** — if one backend dies, traffic keeps flowing to the others.
- **Horizontal scaling** — add more small servers behind the balancer instead of paying for one huge box.
- **Zero-downtime deploys** — roll servers in and out of rotation while the site stays up.
How to add one
From your dashboard, open **Load Balancers**, create one, pick a region, and attach the servers you want behind it. Point your domain at the balancer's IP and you're done. It's live in minutes, and you manage it next to your servers with the same API and the same balance.
