ArangoDB Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

ArangoDB hosting that gives your applications a self-hosted multi-model graph database without a manual setup. Deploy ArangoDB 3.12.4 as one official container: xCloud generates the root password, mounts the arangodb_data and arangodb_apps volumes, and publishes the web interface and HTTP API on an allocated port of your server, so your graphs, documents and key-value data share one query language, AQL.

What is ArangoDB?

Self-hosted ArangoDB is a multi-model graph database: it stores native graphs, JSON documents and key-value data in one server and queries them with a single language, AQL. Its README highlights native graphs, an integrated search engine called ArangoSearch for indexing, text search and ranking, and JSON support. Teams reach for it instead of a hosted graph service such as Amazon Neptune when they want graphs and documents in one engine on their own machine. The 3.12 source is under the Business Source License 1.1.

On xCloud the template runs the official arangodb 3.12.4 image as a single container, pinned by immutable digest, with the arangodb_data and arangodb_apps volumes holding your databases. It is a data service: you reach the web interface and HTTP API on the server IP and an allocated port over plain HTTP, signing in as root with the generated password. There is no domain, HTTPS or sign-up page.

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

An ArangoDB setup normally means a container, two data volumes, a root password and a published port before you can create a collection. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account, pick ArangoDB from the OneClick catalog and choose your target server. Leave the Root Password blank and xCloud generates a 32-character one for you.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the official ArangoDB container, pinned by immutable digest, as a single service with nothing else to run beside it, enable server authentication, mount the arangodb_data and arangodb_apps volumes and publish the web interface and HTTP API on an allocated port of your server.
Step 03
Create Your First Database
Save the HTTP URL, host, port, username (root) and password from your installation credentials. Open the URL, sign in to the web interface as root, create a database and a least-privilege user for your application, then point your driver at the same host and port.

Everything ArangoDB Does, On Your Own Server

ArangoDB 3.12.4 runs in full here: a database you own, with its files on volumes you control.

Graphs, Documents And Key-Value
Keep native graphs, JSON documents and key-value pairs in the same server instead of running one database per data model.
One Query Language: AQL
Run simple CRUD, filters and aggregations, joins and graph traversals with the same AQL query language.
ArangoSearch
Use the built-in indexing and ranked full-text search without running a separate search engine.
Web Interface And HTTP API
People and applications use the same port: the web interface for browsing and querying, the HTTP API for drivers.
Authentication From First Boot
The root account is created with your generated password, and requests without a login or with a wrong password are rejected.
Persistent Storage
Databases, collections and documents live on named volumes and survive an xCloud Restart.

What You Can Do With ArangoDB

Model connected data
Store relationships as native graphs next to the documents they connect, and traverse them with AQL.
Back an application with JSON documents
Use document collections as the primary store for an app and connect through a driver or the HTTP API.
Add search without another service
Index and rank text with ArangoSearch inside the same database instead of running a separate search engine.
Combine models in one query
Join documents, filter and aggregate values and walk a graph in a single AQL query.

ArangoDB vs Alternatives

Amazon Neptune: Amazon's hosted graph database service. Per its README, ArangoDB runs on-prem or in any cloud, so this template puts it on a Cloud VPS you control, with documents and key-value data beside the graphs.
MongoDB: A document database; ArangoDB keeps JSON documents too and adds native graphs and key-value data under the same query language, AQL.
Memgraph: A graph-database peer with its own xCloud template. ArangoDB's README pairs native graphs with JSON documents and an integrated search engine behind one query language, so choose by whether you need documents and search too.
Neo4j: A dedicated graph database. ArangoDB's README describes native graphs plus a document store and ArangoSearch behind AQL, so it fits when connected data and JSON documents live in the same application.
PostgreSQL: A relational database; ArangoDB stores JSON documents and graphs natively rather than as tables, and traverses the relationships between them with AQL graph queries.

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 ArangoDB need?

The template's baseline asks for 1 CPU core, 1024 MB of RAM and 5 GB of disk, and idle use measured in QA was about 160 MB. ArangoDB's cache grows with your data, so 1 GB is only the floor. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, which leaves headroom above that baseline.

Is ArangoDB open source?

No. The 3.12 source is under the Business Source License 1.1, which its LICENSE file says is not an open-source licence, and it converts to Apache 2.0 four years after release. Running it for your own internal production use is allowed; read the licence before building a product on it.

Can I use ArangoDB commercially?

For internal production use, yes, under the Additional Use Grant in the BUSL-1.1 licence. The grant does not cover a commercial offering where third parties create or manage databases holding their own data, such as reselling it as a hosted database service. Check the LICENSE at the 3.12.4 tag.

Can you run ArangoDB with Docker?

Yes. This is ArangoDB Docker hosting prepared for you: the template runs the official arangodb 3.12.4 image as one container, pinned by immutable digest, with arangodb_data and arangodb_apps as persistent volumes and authentication on from first boot, so you never write a docker run command or compose file.

What is AQL?

AQL is ArangoDB's query language. One AQL query can read documents, filter and aggregate values and traverse a graph, so you do not switch languages between models. You run it from the web interface or send it through a driver or the HTTP API on the same host and port.

What is the difference between ArangoDB and Neo4j?

ArangoDB's README describes native graphs, a JSON document store and the ArangoSearch engine behind one language, AQL. Neo4j is a dedicated graph database. Pick ArangoDB when your application also keeps documents or key-value data next to the graph and you want a single server for all of it.

How do I back up ArangoDB?

A backup needs both volumes together: arangodb_data for the databases and arangodb_apps for application data, and test a restore. arangodump and arangorestore, ArangoDB's own tools, give you a logical export of a database alongside the volume copies.

Backups in xCloud

How do I upgrade ArangoDB?

Nothing upgrades it for you: the template pins ArangoDB 3.12.4 by immutable digest. Before changing anything, check the 3.12.4 release notes and copy arangodb_data and arangodb_apps; the newer tag and its image digest then go in together on a redeploy.

Is this ArangoDB cloud hosting?

It is your own ArangoDB on a dedicated Cloud VPS, not a shared multi-tenant cloud database. xCloud provisions the server and the container, you own the databases and the root account, and the data stays on the arangodb_data volume of your server.

Does it come with a domain and HTTPS?

No. ArangoDB is a data service on the server IP and an allocated port over plain HTTP. Requests without a valid login get a 401, but credentials travel unencrypted, so limit the port with firewall rules or put your own TLS-aware proxy in front.

Firewall management

How do I sign in, and can I change the root password?

Open the HTTP URL from your installation credentials and sign in as root. The root password is applied only when the data volume is first initialised, so editing it in the environment later does not rotate it; change it from the web interface or with arangosh. Give each application its own user.

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.
