What is BunkerWeb?

BunkerWeb is an open-source web application firewall and reverse proxy built on NGINX. It filters requests to the sites you configure using ModSecurity and the OWASP Core Rule Set, and adds bot challenges, bad-behaviour banning and rate limiting.

This template runs the BunkerWeb 1.6.15 all-in-one image, so the scheduler, web UI and embedded Redis live in one container. The web UI is published over HTTPS on your domain, while the data plane listens on its own HTTP, HTTPS and HTTP/3 ports.

From Sign-Up to a Live Firewall UI In Just 3 Easy Steps

A self-hosted BunkerWeb normally means running the scheduler, web UI and NGINX data plane, creating an administrator, keeping the data and issuing a certificate for the UI. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick BunkerWeb from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server, and optionally set the administrator username (default admin).
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the official all-in-one BunkerWeb image pinned by immutable digest — BunkerWeb, scheduler, web UI and embedded Redis in one container — mount the bunkerweb_data volume, create the administrator with a generated password, and publish the web UI over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Protect Your First Service
Save the administrator password from the protected installation credentials and allow one to two minutes for the first start. Open your HTTPS BunkerWeb URL, sign in, create your first protected service under Services pointing at your application, and open the data-plane ports in your own firewall.

Everything BunkerWeb Does, On Your Own Server

BunkerWeb runs in full here: a web application firewall and reverse proxy with a web UI on your own domain, with its data on a volume you own.

ModSecurity And OWASP CRS
Put a WAF with ModSecurity and the OWASP Core Rule Set in front of your own web applications.
Bots, Bans And Rate Limits
Block bots with challenges, plus bad-behaviour banning and rate limiting, as listed by upstream.
Web UI For Services
Manage protected services, settings and configuration from the BunkerWeb web UI.
Administrator From Install
The administrator account is created at install, so the UI requires login immediately and there is no setup wizard or open sign-up page.
HTTP, HTTPS And HTTP/3 Data Plane
Protected traffic is served on dedicated ports: 8080/tcp for HTTP, 8443/tcp for HTTPS and 8443/udp for HTTP/3 (QUIC), different from 80 and 443.
One Volume Keeps It All
bunkerweb_data holds the database, cache, custom configuration and plugins, session secret and administrator two-factor keys, and survives an xCloud Restart.

BunkerWeb vs Alternatives

CrowdSec: An open-source, participative security engine with a Local API that serves block decisions. Also available as a OneClick app on xCloud.
Cloud WAF services: Hosted WAFs sit in the vendor's network. BunkerWeb on xCloud runs on your own Cloud VPS and filters the services you point it at.
Hand-tuned NGINX with ModSecurity: Assembling NGINX, ModSecurity and the rule set yourself gives full control but means managing the configuration by hand; BunkerWeb adds a web UI and a scheduler on top.

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.

What does BunkerWeb do?

It is a reverse proxy and web application firewall built on NGINX that filters requests to the sites you configure, with ModSecurity and the OWASP Core Rule Set.

How do I sign in?

Use the administrator username you chose and the generated password in the installation credentials. Unauthenticated pages redirect to login.

Do I need to open extra ports?

Only to use it as a reverse proxy: the data-plane ports 8080/tcp (HTTP), 8443/tcp (HTTPS) and 8443/udp (HTTP/3) are published but not opened in any firewall by xCloud. Open them in your own firewall.

What runs alongside it?

Nothing separate. The scheduler, web UI and embedded Redis run inside the same container, and the API port is not published.

How do I change the administrator login?

Edit the username or password in the environment settings and redeploy, because a password changed inside the UI is replaced at the next restart. The password needs 8+ characters with upper case, lower case, a digit and a symbol.

Can BunkerWeb protect an app on localhost?

Protected services must be reachable from the container over the network, usually a public URL, not by localhost or other apps on the server.

How do I get certificates for protected services?

New services default to automatic Let's Encrypt, which needs DNS pointing at the server. Let's Encrypt HTTP-01 needs port 80, which the data plane does not use, so use a DNS challenge or your own certificates.

What should I back up?

The bunkerweb_data volume.

Backups in xCloud

Does xCloud automatically back up or update BunkerWeb?

No. The template pins BunkerWeb 1.6.15 by immutable digest; new installations use the pinned release, existing sites are not automatically upgraded. Back up first, read the upstream release notes, then bump the readable tag and digest together on your own schedule. Server-level backups and snapshots are available on every Cloud VPS.

What are the server requirements, and why does this page sell 6 GB?

The template's baseline asks for 1 CPU core, 1024 MB of RAM and 4 GB of disk; measured idle use in QA was about 640 MiB. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, with real headroom above that baseline.

Is xCloud officially partnered with BunkerWeb?

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