🆕 Custom Domains for Staging Sites
If you frequently test and deploy on staging sites, this update introduces a new feature: support for custom domains on staging environments. With this release, you can now deploy your staging sites using your own domain. This means you can:
✅ Use a custom domain instead of a generic test URL.
✅ Seamless transition between staging and production
✅ Greater control over your staging environment.
And thinking about setting up? It is super simple —just enter your preferred domain, deploy, and your staging site is LIVE with your preferred custom domain.

With Brotli Compression now enabled, your websites can deliver content more efficiently, reducing file sizes and improving load times. It is especially beneficial for users on slower connections, and it comes baked into xCloud with no extra setup required. From now on, it will be enabled for the NGINX server by default with xCloud, optimizing your site and boosting your performance.

🚀 Improvements Of March 2025 Releases
We have introduced many enhancements to improve navigation, and boost performance. These improvements will give you greater control across the xCloud platform making your hosting experience more than ever:
🔥Show Visitor Real IP Behind Cloudflare Proxy
If you’re using Cloudflare or any reverse proxy, your server usually sees the proxy’s IP, not your visitor’s real IP. With this update, xCloud now helps you restore and view the actual IP address of your visitors — whether you’re using OpenLiteSpeed (OLS) or NGINX. Just follow the easy setup steps and get full visibility into who’s visiting your site:
👉 Show Visitor Real IP Behind Cloudflare Proxy
