bolt.diy Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy bolt.diy hosting and run your own AI coding workspace: chat with a model provider of your choice, then preview and iterate on generated apps in an in-browser WebContainer, with nothing to install locally. xCloud puts a Caddy gateway and a generated Basic-auth login in front of the whole site — upstream bolt.diy ships with no accounts of its own — so only you can reach the UI, the model-provider proxy and the key-export endpoint.

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

Self-hosting bolt.diy normally means a container, a reverse proxy, a sign-in gateway you build yourself, a domain and a certificate before you can chat with a model. This is the same result without assembling any of it by hand.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick bolt.diy from the OneClick catalog. Choose a domain and, optionally, an Admin Username (default admin) — xCloud generates the Admin Password for you.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the pinned bolt.diy image by immutable digest behind a Caddy gateway, require the generated Basic-auth credentials on every path except /api/health, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Sign In And Add Your Key
Open the HTTPS bolt.diy URL, sign in with the admin username and generated password from your xCloud credentials panel, then open bolt.diy's own settings in the browser and add your model-provider key there.

Everything bolt.diy Does, On Your Own Server

bolt.diy runs in full here — the same chat-to-app workflow as the hosted version, behind a sign-in gateway only you hold the credentials for.

Chat-Driven App Generation
Describe what you want and generate full apps from prompts, using the model provider you configure.
In-Browser WebContainer Preview
Preview and iterate on generated apps in an in-browser WebContainer — no local dev environment to set up.
Basic-Auth Gateway By Default
Upstream bolt.diy has no accounts of its own, so a generated sign-in prompt sits in front of the UI, the LLM proxy routes and the key-export endpoint from first boot.
Generated Admin Credentials
A 32-character password and a username you can choose at install, shown once in the protected credentials panel.
Bring Your Own Model Provider
Inference runs at the provider you configure, or a separate Ollama host — not on this server.
Nothing Stored On The Server
Chats and project files live in your browser's IndexedDB and WebContainer, so a Restart loses nothing and your sign-in credentials stay unchanged.

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 bolt.diy?

bolt.diy is an open-source, browser-based AI coding workspace: you chat with a model provider you choose, and it generates full apps you can preview and iterate on in an in-browser WebContainer, with no local dev setup.

Does bolt.diy have its own login?

No. Upstream bolt.diy ships with no accounts. xCloud adds a sign-in prompt (HTTP Basic auth) in front of the whole site, using the admin username and generated password from the install panel.

Where do my chats and projects live?

In your browser — IndexedDB for chat history, the WebContainer for project files — not on the server. Opening the site from another browser or device starts empty.

Does the server run the AI model?

No. Inference runs at the model provider you configure in bolt.diy's settings, or at a separate Ollama host you point it to. The server here only runs the bolt.diy workspace and the sign-in gateway in front of it.

How do I add my API key?

Open bolt.diy's own settings in the browser and add your model-provider key there. That is safer than the environment file: any key set in the environment is returned as JSON by /api/export-api-keys to anyone who can sign in.

What runs alongside bolt.diy?

A small Caddy gateway that enforces the Basic-auth sign-in. There is no database and nothing else private to the install.

What should I back up?

Nothing on the server — there is no application data to protect. Export anything you need from the bolt.diy UI itself, because clearing site data or switching browser or device starts your chats and projects empty.

Backups in xCloud

What are the server requirements?

The brief's reviewed template asks for 1 CPU core, 1024 MB of RAM and 2 GB of disk as a floor. This page sells the 6 GB tier, which sits comfortably above that floor with real headroom for the gateway and browser-driven workload.

How do I rotate the sign-in credentials?

Edit the admin username and password in the Environment editor, then Restart. Keep the values free of spaces, $ and &, which break startup.

Is bolt.diy free?

Yes. bolt.diy is free and open source under the MIT license. xCloud charges for the managed server it runs on, not for bolt.diy itself.

Can I self-host bolt.diy with this template?

Yes — that is exactly what this template deploys. It brings up the pinned bolt.diy image by immutable digest behind a generated Basic-auth gateway and publishes it over HTTPS on your domain in a few minutes instead of assembled by hand.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update bolt.diy?

No. The template pins the bolt.diy digest; upgrades happen when we check that upstream still publishes a matching multi-arch manifest and replace the pinned digest. Server-level backups and snapshots are available on every Cloud VPS regardless.

What survives a restart?

The sign-in credentials, because they live in the environment. Chats and project files were never on the server to begin with, so there is nothing there to lose or keep.

Is xCloud officially partnered with bolt.diy?

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

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.
