High-speed networking

All Genesis Cloud instances are connected to a non-blocking high-performance network that is secure by default.

After your Genesis Cloud account is created, an isolated virtual private cloud network is created and dedicated to your instances. No other account has access to your private network, so your internal network traffic is secure.

When you create an instance using our standard security group, it's accessible by SSH, HTTP/S, and ICMP. Less common inbound traffic ports are blocked by default, but access can be added with custom security groups as needed.

Our data center is located in Iceland, which provides worldwide network access through peering via Amsterdam (AMS-IX), one of the world's largest internet exchanges.
