# How to Manage a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)?

A **Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)** is a logically isolated section of the cloud where you can launch resources in a secure, customizable virtual network. In AceCloud, creating a VPC allows you to define your own IP ranges, subnets, and gateways.

### a. How do you view the list of all VPCs?

To view the VPC list, follow the steps below:

**Step 1:** [Login](https://customer.acecloudhosting.com/index.php?m=ace_product_register_addon\&action=login) to your account.

**Step 2:** Navigate to **Networks** and then click on **VPC**. Here, you can view the list of all networks.

### b. How to create a VPC?

**Step 1:** Click on **Create VPC**.

**Step 2:** **Enter VPC and Subnet Details**

* **VPC Name**: Provide a name for your VPC. This name will help you identify the VPC later when managing network resources.
* **Subnet Name**: Enter a name for your first subnet. Subnets divide your VPC's IP range into smaller, manageable blocks.
* **IP Version**: Choose the IP version — usually **IPv4** is selected unless you specifically require IPv6.
* **Subnet (CIDR Block)**: Enter the CIDR block for the subnet, e.g., `192.168.0.0/24`. This defines the IP address range within the subnet.
* **Gateway IP**: Specify the gateway IP for the subnet, which acts as the exit point for traffic leaving the subnet.

> Ensure that the CIDR block and gateway IP do not overlap with other existing subnets in your account.

* After entering all details, click **Next** to proceed.

**Step 3:** **Review Additional Subnet Details**

* In the **Additional Subnet Details** tab, you can configure advanced networking options.
* Click **Next** to continue.

**Step 4: Select a Router and Submit**

* On the final screen, you will be asked to **select a Router**.
* Choose an existing router from the dropdown list. The router connects your subnet to the Internet or other networks.

> If no router is available, you may need to create one in the **Router** section before proceeding.

* Once selected, click **Submit** to finalize the VPC creation process.
