Affine Pro Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Notes, wiki-style documents, whiteboards and real-time collaboration in one self-hosted workspace — on a server you own instead of a third-party productivity account. xCloud configures the pinned AFFiNE 0.27.4 image, private PostgreSQL and Redis services, a generated administrator password and the HTTPS reverse proxy in minutes.

From Sign-Up to a Live Affine Pro Workspace In Just 3 Easy Steps

Self-hosting AFFiNE normally means a container, a private database and cache, a generated admin password, a domain and a certificate before a single document exists. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Affine Pro from the OneClick catalog. Enter an administrator email and choose a domain.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the pinned AFFiNE image alongside private pgvector PostgreSQL and Redis services, run database migrations, create the administrator account with a generated password, and publish AFFiNE over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Sign In And Create A Workspace
Wait a few minutes for first-boot migrations to finish, then open your HTTPS URL and sign in. Create a cloud workspace and your first document.

Everything AFFiNE Does, On Your Own Server

AFFiNE runs in full here — the same docs and whiteboard tooling as any hosted productivity workspace, on infrastructure you control.

Documents And Wiki-Style Notes
Write notes and structured, wiki-style documents in one knowledge base instead of scattering them across separate tools.
Whiteboards And Real-Time Sync
Collaborate on whiteboards with changes syncing to cloud workspaces on your own server in real time.
Administrator Created At Install
No open first-run setup page is left behind — the administrator account is created automatically from the email and generated password at install.
Sign-Up Closed By Default
Public sign-up starts disabled, so only people you add can join, until you choose to re-enable it from the admin panel.
Admin Panel For Accounts
Manage user accounts from AFFiNE's own admin panel rather than editing configuration files by hand.
Your Workspaces, Your Server
Workspaces, documents and uploaded files all stay on a server you control instead of a third-party productivity account.

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.

Gary Moody

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.

Jorge de los Reyes Martínez

I use Server Avatar and xCloud and I'll sooner use xCloud than Server Avatar personally.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

What is AFFiNE?

AFFiNE is a self-hosted workspace for documents, whiteboards and real-time collaboration, organized into cloud workspaces. This template deploys version 0.27.4.

What license does this server run under?

The server image this template deploys is AFFiNE Enterprise Edition, whose production use is subject to the subscription terms at affine.pro. Only AFFiNE's client and desktop code outside the backend is MIT-licensed. Review those terms before relying on this for production use.

How do I sign in?

Use the administrator email you entered and the generated password shown in the protected installation credentials.

Can anyone sign up?

No. Public sign-up starts disabled and can be re-enabled later from the admin panel if you want it.

What runs alongside AFFiNE?

Private PostgreSQL (with pgvector) and Redis containers, plus a short-lived bootstrap container that creates the administrator account and exits.

Is email working out of the box?

No. No mail server is configured by default. Add the MAILER_* settings in the Environment editor to send invites, password resets and verification emails to users you add later.

What should I back up?

All four volumes together — the PostgreSQL database, blob storage, config and Redis state — plus the environment values, since they belong to the same application boundary.

Backups in xCloud

Does xCloud automatically back up or update AFFiNE?

No. Upgrades bump the readable tag and digest together after reading upstream release notes, taking a backup, and checking sign-in and a test document.

What are the server requirements?

The template manifest asks for 1024 MB of RAM, 2 CPU cores and 10 GB of disk as a floor. This page sells the 6 GB tier, comfortable headroom above that floor, though large workspaces and attachments will want more.

Is there a limit on uploads?

Yes. Uploads through the proxy are limited to 100 MB per request, matching the template's own configuration.

What survives a restart?

Workspaces, documents and uploaded files — all of it lives on the four persistent volumes, which survive a restart or redeploy.

Is xCloud officially partnered with AFFiNE?

No. No official partnership or endorsement between xCloud and the AFFiNE project has been verified. This is a deployment and server-management option for AFFiNE.

Can I run other apps on the same server?

Yes. It is a dedicated Cloud VPS, not a locked appliance, so you can deploy other OneClick apps or your own sites beside it as long as the resources are there.

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.
