Load Balancers

Last updated May 31, 2024

Load balancers let you distribute incoming traffic across multiple servers to increase the availability and fault tolerance of your service.

The main benefits of load balancing are:

  • Horizontal scaling.

  • Load balancing for TCP sessions.

  • Support for HTTP, HTTP2, HTTPS, TCP ports.

  • Enhanced fault tolerance of your application server

WIth Hostman load balancers, you can balance traffic between both Hostman and third-party servers.

Once the balancer is set up, it will be assigned a public IP address. You will need to use this address as the application server address and redirect your domain name to it.
