Cal.diy Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy Cal.diy hosting and give people a booking page on your own domain. xCloud runs the pinned Cal.diy 6.2.0 image with a private PostgreSQL 16 database, generates the secrets, mounts a persistent volume and publishes the app over HTTPS in minutes. Sign-up is closed by default, so only people you add can create accounts.

What is Cal.diy?

Cal.diy is the open-source community edition of Cal.com, a scheduling platform. You publish booking pages, define event types such as a 15 minute demo call, set your availability, and people pick a slot that fits.

It also supports team and round-robin events and webhooks. Upstream describes Cal.diy as intended for personal, non-production use and points to Cal.com for commercial and enterprise needs. Here, accounts, event types and bookings live in a PostgreSQL database on your own server.

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

A Cal.diy stack normally means the app container, a PostgreSQL database, an encryption key and auth secrets, a domain and a certificate before the first event type. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Cal.diy from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server — there are no extra fields to fill in.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the Cal.diy image and a private PostgreSQL 16 database kept off the public internet, both pinned by immutable digest, mount the calcom_postgres volume, generate the secrets and publish it over HTTPS on your domain. Save the encryption key shown in your protected installation credentials.
Step 03
Run The Setup Wizard
Open your HTTPS Cal.diy URL straight away; the first start applies database migrations and can take a few minutes. Complete the setup wizard, which creates the administrator, then create your first event type.

Everything Cal.diy Does, On Your Own Server

A self-hosted scheduling app on your own domain, with its accounts and event types stored in a database you own.

Public Booking Pages
Visitors open your booking page and pick a slot from your availability.
Configurable Event Types
Create event types such as a 15 minute demo call or a quick meeting, each with its own title, URL and duration.
Team And Round-Robin Events
Run team events and rotate bookings between the people you add.
Availability And Webhooks
Manage working hours and limits for each event type, and send booking events to other tools through webhooks.
Closed Sign-Up By Default
Public registration is disabled, so only people you add from the admin area can create accounts.
PostgreSQL-Backed Storage
Accounts, event types, bookings and encrypted calendar credentials are stored in a private PostgreSQL 16 database; event types and the administrator survived an xCloud Restart in 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.

How do I sign in the first time?

There is no default account. Open the site and create the administrator in the setup wizard. The wizard closes once that account exists, so complete it immediately after install: until then, whoever reaches the page first can create it.

Can visitors register themselves?

Not by default. Add people from the admin area, or set NEXT_PUBLIC_DISABLE_SIGNUP to false in Environment and redeploy to open registration.

What runs alongside Cal.diy?

A PostgreSQL 16 container on a private network, with no host port.

Is this the same as Cal.com?

It is the community edition. Upstream describes Cal.diy as intended for personal, non-production use and recommends Cal.com for commercial and enterprise needs.

Why is the site slow to load right after install?

The first start applies database migrations and can take a few minutes. Open the site again once they finish.

Will booking emails be sent?

Outgoing email is not configured by default. Add the EMAIL_SERVER_HOST, EMAIL_SERVER_PORT, EMAIL_SERVER_USER, EMAIL_SERVER_PASSWORD and EMAIL_FROM variables for your SMTP server in Environment, then Save and Redeploy. Email delivery was not exercised in testing.

Can I connect Google or Outlook calendars?

Those integrations need OAuth credentials you create with the provider. They were not exercised in testing.

What should I back up?

The calcom_postgres volume, together with NEXTAUTH_SECRET, CALENDSO_ENCRYPTION_KEY and the database password. Without the matching encryption key a restored database cannot decrypt stored calendar credentials.

Backups in xCloud

What survives a restart?

Event types, accounts and the administrator in calcom_postgres survived an xCloud Restart in QA.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update Cal.diy?

No. The template pins Cal.diy 6.2.0 and PostgreSQL 16 by immutable digest; new installations use the pinned release and 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 2 CPU cores, 1024 MB of RAM and 10 GB of disk; measured use in QA was about 690 MiB after the test round-trip. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, with real headroom above that baseline.

Is xCloud officially partnered with Cal.diy?

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