# Dedicated Gateways

4EVERLAND offers dedicated gateways for users who need greater speed or increased rate limits when retrieving content. These gateways are designed to provide fast and reliable access to content stored on the 4EVERLAND network, making it easy to retrieve data quickly and efficiently.

What's even better is that 4EVERLAND is now offering these dedicated gateways for **free**, allowing users to take advantage of their increased speed and rate limits at no additional cost. This makes it easier for developers and businesses to access their data quickly and efficiently, without worrying about additional costs or fees.

{% hint style="info" %}
Registered users will receive 100GB of dedicated gateway data per month.
{% endhint %}

## The benefits of an IPFS dedicated gateway:

* Globally distributed edge nodes provide global acceleration 
* No rate limiting 
* Support for custom domains

## How about an Arweave dedicated gateway(beta)?

The 4EVERLAND Arweave dedicated gateway will load uploaded Arweave data in real-time, without the need to wait for data to be packaged and processed.

* A faster response time compared to [arweave.net](https://www.arweave.net)
* Globally distributed edge nodes provide global acceleration
* No rate limiting 

{% hint style="info" %}
Currently, the Arweave dedicated gateway is intended solely for testing purposes. To qualify for testing access, interested parties are encouraged to join our Discord channel and [open a ticket](https://discord.com/channels/852482727164117022/1039457937594257448).

Provide a name for your dedicated gateway.

Choose whether your gateway is open or restricted.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Currently, the free version of the dedicated gateway allows users to create up to three dedicated gateways and keep one as RESTRICTED.

## How I use my gateway

Here is an example of content through our public gateway:

*<mark style="color:blue;"><https://4everland.io/ipfs/bafkreienr4m3zpnnszzvtetmdizy3ziff73hq6astreuehcpx7syd37oqe></mark>*

And here's an example of a dedicated gateway if I named it 'dedicated':

*<mark style="color:blue;"><https://dedicated.4everland.link/ipfs/bafkreienr4m3zpnnszzvtetmdizy3ziff73hq6astreuehcpx7syd37oqe></mark>*

It can be found that you only need to get the CID of the file you want to view and add it to your gateway URL to view the content through your gateway, as follows.

`https://<Your Gateway Subdomain>.4everland.link/ipfs/<Your CID>`

Simple as that!

## Setting Page

Please click the 'edit' button to enter the settings page.

### Default Page

<figure><img src="https://4107147272-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FEVHC4TEQKrh3Bfvq5dDi%2Fuploads%2F9NyEge5XEUYQl94j0T2E%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=d22fb72b-2f0a-4140-acf3-dc4a9225eefe" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

This function is used to set the default page when accessing the gateway domain, you can choose to enter the IPFS or URL address.&#x20;

For example, if the domain name of the gateway is `mydomain.4everland.link`, entering the domain name directly into the browser's address bar will show the specified URL or IPFS content.

### Adding Access Controls

To add access control please read [#open-or-restricted](https://docs.4everland.org/gateways/gateway-access-controls#open-or-restricted "mention")

### Adding a Custom Domain <a href="#h_ba4fa57aa0" id="h_ba4fa57aa0"></a>

4EVERlAND allows you to create custom domains for dedicated gateways.&#x20;

<figure><img src="https://4107147272-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FEVHC4TEQKrh3Bfvq5dDi%2Fuploads%2F3jKruUL7NRadzpVfidbH%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=3796a1b8-385d-4b7b-8e8a-4b87c7f6114c" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

You will need to have the domain you want to use. When you enter the domain, you will be prompted to enter DNS information via the registrar.
