Adminer Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Adminer hosting on xCloud gives your team one browser console for the databases it already runs. Deploy Adminer 6.1.0 as a self-hosted web database manager: xCloud runs the official image as a single container, keeps its port on loopback and publishes it over HTTPS on your domain in minutes. You then sign in with the credentials of any MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL or SQLite database the server can reach.

What is Adminer?

Self-hosted Adminer is a web database manager. Its README calls it a full-featured database management tool written in PHP that consists of a single file ready to deploy, with a SQL command page, schema editing and export, and plugins and designs. It stands in for hosted database consoles when you want one console for your own databases. It is dual licensed under Apache-2.0 or GPL-2.0.

On xCloud the template runs the official Adminer 6.1.0 image as a single container pinned by immutable digest, with its port on loopback behind HTTPS on your domain. It declares no volume and bundles no database, so it keeps no data of its own. The shipped image connects to MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite and MS SQL, and there is no Adminer account: you sign in with a database's own credentials.

From Sign-Up to Your First Query In Just 3 Easy Steps

A self-hosted database console normally means a PHP runtime, a web server, a domain and a certificate before the first SELECT. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account, pick Adminer from the OneClick catalog and choose a domain. Optionally set a bundled Theme or a space-separated list of built-in Plugins — or leave both blank for the defaults.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We run the official Adminer image pinned by immutable digest as a single container, bind its port 8080 to loopback only, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain. There is no bundled database and no volume to manage.
Step 03
Connect A Database
Open your HTTPS Adminer URL, choose the database system, and enter the host, username, password and database name of a database this server can reach. Run your first query from the SQL command page.

Everything Adminer Does, On Your Own Server

The whole Adminer toolset in the browser, pointed at databases you already own.

Several Engines, One Console
The official image connects to MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite and MS SQL, so one deployment covers databases on different servers and providers.
Full Schema Editing
List and alter tables, columns, indexes, foreign keys, views, triggers and stored procedures without writing the DDL by hand.
Browse And Edit Rows
Search, sort and aggregate table data, then insert, update or delete records directly from the table view.
Any SQL Command
Run arbitrary SQL from the SQL command page and read results in place — the quickest way to check a production value.
Export To SQL Or CSV
Dump structure and data to SQL or CSV for an ad-hoc copy, and print a schema diagram linked by foreign keys.
Guarded Login
Adminer refuses passwordless connections and rate-limits login attempts; on QA an unauthenticated deep link to table data returned 403 with no data.

Adminer vs Alternatives

Hosted database consoles: Adminer runs on your own Cloud VPS and connects to your databases from there, with no data stored in it and no vendor account in the path.
phpMyAdmin: Compared with phpMyAdmin, Adminer is one PHP file, per its README, and this image reaches MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite and MS SQL from the same page.
pgAdmin: Compared with pgAdmin, Adminer reaches PostgreSQL and several other engines from one page, as a single stateless container with no volume.
CloudBeaver: CloudBeaver has its own xCloud template. Adminer here is a single PHP container whose manifest asks for 128 MB of RAM and keeps no data of its own.
DBeaver: Compared with DBeaver, Adminer is one shared web console on your own domain, so nothing has to be installed on each person's machine.

Hear what people are saying about us

See why agencies, developers, startups, and growing businesses choose xCloud to power their projects.

xCloud works really well, I am surprised by its performance being this the release version, I have tried many paid platforms such as runcloud, cloudpages or serveravatar, as well as free platforms such as CyberPanel, CloudPanel or Hestia Control Panel and direct competitors such as SpinupWP and FlyWP. Of all those that I have tried, the platform that works best for WordPress is SpinupWP and I believe that xCloud can reach and surpass that development, its roadmap is promising. Congratulations to the xCloud team, I hope they become the leading platform in the segment, it has all the potential to achieve it!

Brian Geovanny

I've been with runcloud for the last 3 years. However, after trying xcloud for the last month, I'm switching over. They are on a roll with their setup.

Kevin Pineda

I'm moving my servers to xCloud, a cloud control panel by M Asif Rahman and the WPDeveloper team. Their roadmap looks interesting and no, there are no team mates nor API limits with xCloud! #xCloud #wordpress #hosting

How Cloud Nine Web Elevated Client Experience While Streamlining Hosting Operations using xCloud

Ed Ellingham

xCloud is like having an expert server team on call — without the big agency costs. It's given me back my time and given my clients peace of mind. Highly recommended for freelancers and small teams who want reliable performance and security.

Dumitru Butucel

xCloud isn't just a solution. It's like one of that friend who got your back when you screw things up pretty bad.

Waqar Ahmed

Trust me when I say, once people explore the potential of xCloud they gonna switch from other panels, just keep delivering the best tech, lots of love for the team 😍😍

Rahul Singh

So far my experience has been smooth like silk. I didn't imagine that configuring and managing a VPS would be so easy. As of today, I have deployed 8 sites. The support is good, and they treat users with respect, even if they ask stupid questions (myself included). For the future, I hope for greater flexibility in scheduled backups and more comprehensive and consistent documentation. I'm sure that within a few months, xCloud will become the leader in its segment. This community is amazing, and the Staff here is super helpful.

Massimo Villa

Came from cloudways then to runcloud then to xcloud. Looks like I'm staying here.

Gerson El

I've recently taken all of my Vultr-hosted sites and gotten rid of cPanel for them to substitute it with xCloud. I have to say, I'm really impressed with xCloud so far! The interface is definitely the standout feature for me.

Tony Lewis

I came from Cloudways and won't go back. Highly impressed with xCloud. Glad I gave them a chance.

Jared McDowell

I like xCloud better than RunCloud, but one thing I'll point out is that some years ago RunCloud was hungry for business, the support was outstanding, and the community was active and helped each other. Maybe it was sold, there was a change in management, or they stopped being hungry, but the quality of the RunCloud offering declined and it hasn't been moving forward quickly. My point is that currently the xCloud team has the edge and it is theirs to keep or lose

How Kevin Heinrichs Cut Hosting Costs by 84% While Running WooCommerce & Node.js Sites Efficiently

Kevin Heinrichs

I had 150 sites on cloudways and am in the process of moving them to xcloud. Much faster and better priced.

Dan Spinoza

Dear xCloud Team, I have been using xCloud for some time now and am genuinely impressed with its capabilities and the flexibility it offers by allowing users to bring their own VPS for management. It's a fantastic service, and my experience so far has been very positive. Successful migrated 5 sites on a single server. Xcloud migration tool worked great. There were few hiccups with security plugin like MalCare but disabling the plugin prior to migration worked just fine.

Rahil Maknojia

Came from runcloud. Tried xcloud and never came back.

xCloud gave me what no other hosting platform could: the flexibility of a VPS with the convenience of managed WordPress. As a solo founder running an entire business on one server, that combination is an important unfair advantage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.

How much RAM does Adminer need?

The manifest asks for 1 CPU core, 128 MB of RAM and 1 GB of disk, and QA measured about 13 MiB at peak. The 6 GB Cloud VPS sold on this page is the entry rung, leaving ample room for other apps or a database sharing the same server.

Is Adminer free and open source?

Yes. Adminer is dual licensed under Apache-2.0 or GPL-2.0, so you may choose either, and the LICENSE ships at the v6.1.0 tag. There is no licence fee; xCloud charges for the dedicated Cloud VPS and nothing else the console runs on, and connected databases stay wherever they are.

Can you run Adminer with Docker?

Yes, and this is Adminer Docker hosting prepared for you: the template runs the official Adminer 6.1.0 image as one container, pinned by tag and immutable digest, with port 8080 bound to loopback and published over HTTPS on your domain. No compose file, no volume and no database come with it.

How is Adminer different from phpMyAdmin?

Adminer is a single PHP file, per its README, and one Adminer page reaches MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite and MS SQL with the same interface. If MySQL or MariaDB is all you run, xCloud also has a phpMyAdmin template, so compare the two against your needs.

How do I sign in to a self-hosted Adminer?

There is no Adminer account and no bundled database. Open your HTTPS URL, choose the database system, and enter the host, username, password and database name of a database this server can reach. Adminer refuses connections without a password and rate-limits login attempts.

Which database engines does Adminer support?

The official image includes the PHP extensions for MySQL and MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite and MS SQL. The README also lists Oracle, plus Elasticsearch, SimpleDB and MongoDB as plugins, but this image lacks the Oracle extension and cannot enable those driver plugins.

Should I restrict who can reach the Adminer URL?

Yes. Anyone who can open the page sees the login form and can try to sign in to any database the server can reach. Upstream recommends allowlisting IP addresses or password-protecting the page; on xCloud use the site's Basic Authentication or IP management features.

Basic authentication

Does a self-hosted Adminer need a backup?

Not of Adminer itself: it is stateless, declares no volume and keeps no data, so a backup of the console holds nothing. Back up each connected database with that engine's own tooling, and use Adminer's Export page for ad-hoc SQL or CSV dumps.

Can I change the Adminer theme or add plugins?

Yes. The install form's Theme field takes one of Adminer's bundled designs, such as pepa-linha, and the Plugins field takes a space-separated list of built-in plugins like tables-filter or edit-textarea. Both can be changed later in the Environment editor and redeployed.

How do I upgrade Adminer?

Nothing upgrades it for you: the template pins 6.1.0 by tag and immutable digest. When a newer template version is published, read the upstream release notes and adopt that version. Adminer keeps no data, so there is no volume to back up first and no migration.

Is this Adminer cloud hosting?

It is your own console on a dedicated Cloud VPS provisioned by xCloud, with no shared multi-tenant layer. The container runs on your server, queries leave from your server's address, and nothing about your databases is stored in Adminer itself.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. There is no lock-in — cancel any time. Hosting is billed monthly and charged for what you actually use, so when you delete the server the unused balance is refunded to your account, less up to 10% in payment-processing fees.
