Domain + SSL + Anti-DDoS, in one place

Point any domain at your server. We protect it.

A tunnel connects a domain you own to any server you run — on GreatHost or anywhere else. We terminate TLS, issue the certificate automatically and filter malicious traffic at the edge before a single request reaches your machine. No firewall changes, no exposing your real IP, no separate anti-DDoS bill.

REQUEST REQUEST REQUEST BLOCKED Filtered at the edge before it reaches your server

Live in three steps

No SSH into a load balancer, no manual certificates. Point, configure, done.

1

Point your domain

Add a CNAME record for your domain (or subdomain) pointing to control.greathost.es. Already got a domain? Perfect, you keep it.

2

Tell us the destination

Give us the IP and port where your app or server listens. We validate it, issue a free SSL certificate and wire up the routing automatically.

3

Traffic flows through the edge

From then on, every request hits our edge first: rate limits, bot filtering and IP bans are applied before anything reaches your server.

Built for whatever you're running

If it speaks HTTP or HTTPS and listens on a port, a tunnel can put it online, safely, under your own domain.

Home lab & self-hosted apps

Expose a service running on your home server, NAS or Raspberry Pi without opening ports on your router or leaking your home IP.

APIs & backends in development

Give a Node, Python or any backend a real HTTPS domain to test webhooks, mobile app callbacks or third-party integrations properly.

VPS & dedicated servers you already own

Already renting a VPS somewhere else? Point a tunnel at it and get our anti-DDoS layer, analytics and free SSL without moving anything.

Sites that get hit by attacks

If your project has ever gone down from a flood of requests, this is exactly the problem tunnels solve: filtering happens before your server even sees the traffic.

Game panels & admin dashboards

Put a Pterodactyl panel, a bot dashboard or any internal tool behind a real domain, with an optional password gate on higher plans.

Client demos & staging environments

Share a clean, branded HTTPS link with a client or your team instead of an IP and a port number.

What actually happens at the edge

Every tunnel, even the cheapest one, gets real protection. Higher plans unlock more control and more history.

Rate & connection limits

Per-IP request and connection limits stop floods before they can reach your app, tuned automatically to your protection level.

Automatic mitigation

When traffic spikes look like an attack, "under-attack mode" kicks in on its own on Pro plans and above, tightening the rules until it settles.

Manual IP & country blocking

Block specific IPs, CIDR ranges or entire countries yourself whenever you spot something you don't want reaching your server.

Real traffic analytics

Requests, visitors, response times, status codes, countries, devices and browsers, all from the same pipeline that powers our own dashboards.

Custom error & maintenance pages

On Business and Enterprise, show your own branded page instead of a generic error whenever your destination is down for maintenance.

Password gate & allowlist-only mode

Lock a tunnel behind HTTP basic auth or restrict it to an allowlist of IPs, ideal for staging environments and internal tools.

Choose your tunnel plan

One flat price per tunnel, billed monthly in coins. Upgrade, downgrade or cancel whenever you want.

Frequently asked questions

Still unsure about something? Here's what people usually ask before creating their first tunnel.

Do I need to host my server with GreatHost to use a tunnel?

No. A tunnel just needs a public IP and port to reach your destination. It works with a GreatHost VPS, a server at home, a VPS from another provider, or anything else that can accept incoming HTTP/HTTPS connections.

What exactly happens to my domain's DNS?

You add a CNAME record (or an A record to the same IP) pointing your domain to control.greathost.es. We never touch the rest of your DNS zone, so your email, other subdomains and existing records are untouched.

Is the SSL certificate really free?

Yes. We issue and renew a Let's Encrypt certificate automatically for every tunnel, at every plan level, at no extra cost.

What happens if my destination server goes down?

Visitors get a clear error instead of a broken connection. On Business and Enterprise plans you can replace that default page with your own branded maintenance page.

Can I change plans or cancel later?

Yes, from the tunnel's own management page. Tunnels are billed per 30-day period with no long-term contract, and you can pause, renew or delete a tunnel at any time.

How is this different from just using a firewall or a VPN?

A firewall protects your server once traffic already reaches it. A tunnel sits in front of your server at the network edge, so attack traffic is filtered before it ever gets close, and your real IP is never exposed publicly.

Create your first tunnel in a couple of minutes. Domain, IP, port and pick a plan — that's it.
