From Sign-Up to a Live AzuraCast Station In Just 3 Easy Steps

AzuraCast hosting normally means a Docker host, a domain, a certificate, a database and racing to claim the admin account before anyone else. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick AzuraCast from the OneClick catalog. Choose a domain and server — no other fields, because xCloud generates the database credentials.
Step 02
We Deploy AzuraCast For You
One click. We bring up the pinned AzuraCast 0.23.8 image and publish it over HTTPS on your domain. Allow a few minutes for the first boot to finish.
Step 03
Finish Setup And Go On Air
Open the HTTPS URL right away and complete the setup wizard — the first account becomes Super Administrator. Then create a station, upload media and share the public player link.

Everything AzuraCast Does, On Your Own Server

AzuraCast runs in full here as one all-in-one container: AutoDJ, live DJs, a public player and analytics, on infrastructure you control.

A Station That Plays 24/7
Liquidsoap AutoDJ plays your library from standard-rotation or scheduled playlists, so the station keeps streaming between live shows.
Go Live From The Browser
Broadcast with the built-in Web DJ, or create individual DJ and streamer accounts for your presenters.
Public Player On One HTTPS Domain
Listen streams, Web DJ and HLS are served on the same HTTPS URL through the radio proxy. Listeners never need a special port.
Manage Media In The Browser
Upload songs, edit metadata and organise folders. Station media uses chunked uploads, so typical library files work.
Analytics And A REST API
Track listeners with detailed analytics and reports, and automate with the authenticated REST API and web hooks such as Discord, Slack and TuneIn.
Survives A Restart
Media, playlists, streamer accounts and admin login were all retained after an xCloud Restart, and the station auto-started and resumed streaming — verified on QA.

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 makes AzuraCast different from a plain Icecast server?

It is an all-in-one radio suite: AutoDJ, playlists and scheduling, live DJ accounts, a browser-based Web DJ, public pages, listener requests, analytics and a REST API, all managed from one web interface.

How do I sign in the first time?

There is no preset admin password. Open your HTTPS URL after install and complete the setup wizard. The first account you create becomes Super Administrator, so do this right away.

Can listeners connect without special ports?

Yes. Streams, Web DJ and HLS are served through the same HTTPS domain via AzuraCast's radio proxy. Direct Icecast source ports and SFTP are not published.

Can DJs broadcast live?

Yes. Create streamer accounts, or use the built-in Web DJ to broadcast directly from a browser over the same HTTPS domain.

What should I back up?

All of the app's named volumes together: station_data (media and station configs), db_data (MariaDB), backups (AzuraCast backup archives) and www_uploads, plus the .env values. Stop the app or use an application-consistent snapshot before copying db_data, and keep an off-server copy.

Backups in xCloud

Why does the setup wizard matter so much?

Until the wizard is finished, anyone who reaches the URL can claim the instance as Super Administrator. Complete it the moment the server is live.

What are the server requirements?

The app's baseline is 1 CPU core, 2048 MB of RAM and 20 GB of disk. Measured idle use on QA was about 436 MiB, or about 586 MiB with one station on air, and each extra station adds its own AutoDJ and broadcast processes. This page sells the 6 GB tier.

How big can uploads be?

Uploads are limited to 50 MB per request. Station media uses chunked uploads, so typical library files work without extra steps.

Does xCloud automatically update AzuraCast?

No. The image is pinned by immutable digest and the in-app web updater is disabled. To upgrade, read the upstream release notes, back up all volumes, then bump the tag and image digest together.

Is xCloud officially partnered with AzuraCast?

No. No official partnership or endorsement has been verified. This is a deployment and server-management option for the open-source AzuraCast project, not an official offering.

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.
