Load Balancer in simple sense means to allocate the load equally. In hosting account too, it means the same. It is a device that is employed between the server group and the user that ensures the dispersion of network traffic equally.


The following are the steps to be performed while setting up a load balancer in the Cpanel:-


1- Click on the Create button at the top of the control panel.

On the Creation page-


2-Choose a data center region. If you have existing backend droplets, choose that datacenter.


3-Select a VPC Network for the load balancer. You can choose one you have created or use your default network for the data center region.


4--Choose the load balancer’s Scaling configuration.

( It allows you to adjust the load balancer’s number of nodes. The load balancer must have at least one node. You can add or remove nodes at any time to meet your traffic needs.)


5-Connect Droplets to the load balancer. If you are creating this load balancer for DigitalOcean Kubernetes, you can skip this step.


6-Add forwarding rules. Forwarding rules define how traffic is routed from the load balancer to its backend Droplets.

( you must require at least one rule)


7-Set advanced settings. Advanced settings allow you to modify additional parameters for the load balancer, sticky sessions, SSL forwarding.


8-Finalize and create, which includes Choosing a name and Select a project.




*Load balancer names must be unique and contain alphanumeric characters, dashes, and periods only. Load Balancers can be renamed any time.
