From Sign-Up to a Live Airflow Install In Just 3 Easy Steps

Self-hosting Airflow normally means assembling five services, a metadata database, a Fernet key and HTTPS before a single DAG can run. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account, pick Airflow from the OneClick catalog, and choose a domain. xCloud generates the admin password and secret keys.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the API server, scheduler, DAG processor, triggerer and a PostgreSQL metadata database, and publish the web UI and REST API over HTTPS. First start takes 2 to 5 minutes.
Step 03
Sign In And Load Your First DAG
Open the HTTPS Airflow URL, sign in as admin with the generated password, then copy your first DAG file into the dags volume — new files can take up to 5 minutes to appear.

Everything Airflow Does, On Your Own Server

Airflow runs in full here — the same pipeline authoring, scheduling and monitoring as any hosted orchestration platform, on infrastructure you control.

Author Pipelines As Python DAGs
Write your data pipelines as Python DAGs and schedule them with the LocalExecutor.
Web UI And REST API
Trigger runs and read task logs from the Airflow web UI or script the same things through the REST API.
The Full Stack, One Install
API server, scheduler, DAG processor, triggerer and a PostgreSQL metadata database are all wired together automatically.
Load DAGs Your Way
Copy files into the dags volume directly, or configure a Git DAG bundle in the environment editor.
Generated Admin Login, No Public Sign-Up
A generated admin password and secret keys are created for you; unauthenticated API calls and wrong passwords are rejected.
DAGs And History Survive A Restart
DAGs, run history, logs, plugins and the metadata database all survive an xCloud Restart.

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.

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 Airflow?

Apache Airflow is a workflow orchestration platform where you write data pipelines as Python DAGs, schedule them and watch runs from a web UI or REST API. This template deploys version 3.3.2.

How do I sign in?

Use the admin username and the generated admin password from the installation credentials.

How do I add DAGs?

Copy Python files into the dags volume or configure a Git DAG bundle in the environment editor.

Why doesn't my new DAG show up immediately?

The DAG processor scans for new files every 300 seconds by default; lower AIRFLOW__DAG_PROCESSOR__REFRESH_INTERVAL in the environment and redeploy for faster pickup.

What runs alongside the web UI?

A scheduler, DAG processor, triggerer and a PostgreSQL metadata database, all using the LocalExecutor.

How much trust should I give DAG files and admin access?

A lot. DAG files run as arbitrary Python inside the Airflow containers, so treat admin access and write access to the dags volume like shell access to the server.

Can I rotate the Fernet key?

Not safely once connections are stored — the Fernet key must stay stable, or existing stored connections stop decrypting. Back it up with the rest of the environment.

What should I back up?

The postgres_data, airflow_dags, airflow_logs and airflow_plugins volumes, plus the stable values in the environment, notably the Fernet key.

Backups in xCloud

Does xCloud automatically back up or update Airflow?

No. The template pins Airflow 3.3.2 by immutable digest; a catalog re-sync affects new installations only. To upgrade, bump the image tag and digest together after reading upstream release notes.

What are the server requirements?

The template manifest asks for 2 CPU cores, 4096 MB of RAM and 10 GB of disk as a floor, following upstream's documented Docker minimum; QA measured about 1.3 GB peak with one small DAG. This page sells the 16 GB tier, comfortable headroom above that floor.

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.
