Big-AGI Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Big-AGI hosting gives your team one browser UI for several model vendors on your own domain. Deploy Big-AGI v2.1.0 as a self-hosted multi-model AI workspace: xCloud runs the pinned official image as a single container behind HTTPS, with no database and no server volume. You bring your own API keys, your chats stay in your browser, and the URL itself is the only gate.

What is Big-AGI?

Self-hosted Big-AGI is a multi-model AI workspace. Its README describes the open-source foundation of a workspace for experts, with Beam and Merge for comparing and combining several models, personas, request inspection, a local-first web app, and bring-your-own API keys with no vendor lock-in. It is used in place of a single-vendor chat product such as ChatGPT when you want one interface across several vendors. It is MIT licensed.

On xCloud the template runs the ghcr.io/enricoros/big-agi v2.1.0 image as one container pinned by immutable digest, with no database and no server volume, behind HTTPS on your domain. Conversations and API keys live in the browser's localStorage and IndexedDB, not on the server. There is no login, so anyone who can open the URL gets the full interface, and chat-link sharing is not available.

From Sign-Up to Your First AI Chat In 3 Easy Steps

Running a multi-model chat UI yourself means a container, a domain and a certificate before the first prompt. This is the same starting point without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account, pick Big-AGI from the OneClick catalog and choose a domain. There are no other fields to fill in.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We run the official Big-AGI v2.1.0 image, pinned by digest, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Add A Key And Chat
Open your HTTPS URL, paste a model vendor's API key into the browser and start a chat. The key stays in your browser.

Everything Big-AGI Does, On Your Own Server

Big-AGI runs in full here, a multi-model AI workspace on a server you control.

Multi-Vendor Model Chat
One browser UI for OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, OpenRouter, Ollama and Azure OpenAI, as the template documents them.
Bring Your Own Keys
Each vendor bills its own usage, not Big-AGI, and no vendor keys are exposed by default on the server.
Browser-Side Chats
Conversations stay in your browser's localStorage and IndexedDB, so nothing about them is kept on the server.
Very Light Footprint
Measured at about 83 MB idle and 125 MB at peak on QA, as one container with no database beside it.
Optional Server-Side Keys
Uncomment a key in the Environment editor only if every visitor should use it. The default is browser-only keys.
Restart-Safe Builds
An xCloud Restart keeps the same build, and your browser-side chats stay intact because nothing is stored on the server.

Everything You Need To Run Your Your AI Workspace, Your Server

Managed hosting for Big-AGI, so the server, HTTPS and container stay running while your keys and chats stay in your browser.

What You Can Do With Big-AGI

Compare several models on one question
Use the README's Beam and Merge approach to put one prompt to multiple models and combine the answers, with each vendor billing you directly for its own usage.
Keep chats in your own browser
Conversations live in localStorage and IndexedDB rather than on a server, so a shared host never holds them. Export from the app to keep a copy of anything that matters.
Give a small team one private chat URL
Share one HTTPS address with colleagues who paste their own vendor keys in the browser, and keep the URL private since the app has no login of its own.
Run a very light AI front end
With one container and no database, the footprint measured about 83 MB idle in QA, so it sits comfortably beside other apps on the same Cloud VPS.

Big-AGI vs Alternatives

ChatGPT: ChatGPT is a single-vendor hosted chat product. Big-AGI is a self-hosted front end across several vendors with your own API keys, and its README stresses a local-first design with no vendor lock-in.
Open WebUI: Open WebUI is a self-hosted chat interface with its own xCloud template. Big-AGI keeps chats in the browser and needs no database, while this template has no login to configure.
LibreChat: LibreChat is a self-hosted multi-provider chat front end with its own xCloud template and a server-side user system. Big-AGI here is a single stateless container.
LobeChat: LobeChat is another self-hosted chat workspace with its own xCloud template. Compare it with Big-AGI on the model vendors and features you need.

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 Big-AGI need?

The floor in the manifest is a core, 512 MB of RAM and 4 GB of disk, and QA measured about 83 MB idle and 125 MB at peak. The 6 GB Cloud VPS sold on this page is far above that floor; concurrent chats and large pasted documents raise memory use, per the template.

Is Big-AGI free and open source?

Yes, this is the MIT-licensed open-source foundation, per the LICENSE file at the v2.1.0 tag. xCloud bills for the dedicated Cloud VPS only, and each model vendor bills you for the usage you make with your own key. The README also mentions a separate paid tier, which this template does not include.

Can you run Big-AGI with Docker?

Yes, and this is Big-AGI Docker hosting prepared for you. The template runs the ghcr.io/enricoros/big-agi v2.1.0 image as one container, pinned by immutable digest, behind HTTPS on your domain. There is no database, no volume and no compose file for you to maintain.

Does Big-AGI have a login?

No. Big-AGI v2.1.0 has no login, and the published image does not apply HTTP Basic Auth from environment values. Anyone who can open the URL gets the full interface, so keep the address private or restrict it with xCloud's IP management features.

Where does Big-AGI store my chats?

In your browser, in localStorage and IndexedDB, not on the server. Clearing site data for the domain removes local chats and keys, so export anything you want to keep from the app. Different browsers and devices each hold their own separate set of conversations.

Which model vendors does Big-AGI support?

The template documents OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, OpenRouter, Ollama and Azure OpenAI. Add a vendor in the app and paste its API key in the browser. Model output was not tested during verification because QA had no LLM key, so test your chosen vendor first.

Do I need my own API keys for Big-AGI?

Yes. Big-AGI bundles no model access, and each vendor bills its own usage, not xCloud. Paste keys in the browser, where they stay. You may instead uncomment a vendor key in the Environment editor, but then every visitor to the URL uses that key and its quota.

Can I share Big-AGI chats by link?

Not out of the box. Chat-link sharing needs an external Postgres or Mongo database, which this template does not include, and the optional database settings in the environment need extra setup the image does not run. Export a conversation and send the file instead.

What should I back up on a Big-AGI server?

Nothing on the server: it has no database and no volume, so a backup would hold nothing. Your chats and keys are in each browser, so export conversations from the app, and note any optional values you set in the Environment editor.

How do I upgrade Big-AGI?

Nothing upgrades it for you: the template pins v2.1.0 by immutable digest. To upgrade, export your chats from the app (they live in your browser, and the server has no volume to back up), read the upstream release notes, then adopt a newer template version when one is published. Do not edit the image tag or digest yourself.

Is this Big-AGI cloud hosting?

It is your own Big-AGI on a dedicated Cloud VPS provisioned by xCloud, not a hosted workspace account. The container belongs to your install, nothing about your chats is stored on it, and the interface is served over HTTPS on your domain.

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.
