🆕 Introducing Paperclip Hosting on xCloud

Deploy and run an autonomous company powered entirely by AI agents — fully managed on xCloud. No coding or server skills needed.

Paperclip lets you hire AI employees, set goals and budgets, and let your agents run 24/7. You stay in control. They handle the work.

✅ Full org chart setup – hire AI employees for any role 

✅ Set goals and budgets, agents work toward them automatically 

✅ Per-agent budgets to prevent runaway API costs 

✅ Audit log of every decision and tool call

🌟With xCloud, you get a fully managed server with automatic updates, security, logs, SSH, and more – all in one place.

📑 Requirements:

• xCloud Managed Server with at least 4GB RAM

🆕 Gemma 4 Variants Support for Ollama

Gemma 4 is Google’s lightweight open model family – and it’s now supported in Ollama on xCloud. You can pull Gemma 4 variants directly from your Ollama dashboard and connect them to OpenClaw or other agent workflows for fully self-hosted, private, API-cost-free AI.🔥

Great for teams that want to experiment with local models alongside options like DeepSeek R1, or run sensitive workloads entirely on their own infrastructure.

🆕 Cloudflare Under Attack Mode Toggle

Cloudflare’s Under Attack mode performs additional security checks to help mitigate layer 7 DDoS attacks. Validated users access your website and suspicious traffic is blocked. It is designed to be used as one of the last resorts when a zone is under attack (and will temporarily pause access to your site and impact your site analytics).

You can now enable or disable Cloudflare’s “Under Attack Mode” directly from the Site security settings page of xCloud dashboard. 

🆕 Git Integration for Docker Compose Sites

You can now deploy custom Docker Compose projects directly from a Git repository on xCloud. Connect your public, private, or linked Git provider, auto-detect ports from your docker-compose.yml, map services to domains, and go live – all from the xCloud dashboard.

🚀 Introducing the xCloud Infrastructure Upgrade: A Faster and More Secure Dashboard

The xCloud infrastructure upgrade brings major improvements to the performance, security, and long-term stability of your dashboard. This release focuses on faster operations, near-instant navigation, and a modern foundation that keeps xCloud reliable as it continues to grow.

✨ What this upgrade brings for you

• No more waiting on slow operations – provisioning servers, managing DNS, billing, API calls – all ~40% faster on average
• Pages load before you expect them to – xCloud now prefetches the next page before you click, so navigation feels instant
• Dashboards show content first – no more staring at a loading screen while everything catches up. Your content appears immediately; heavy data loads behind the scenes
• Better security – every package is patched and up to date, with fewer dependencies, meaning fewer things that can go wrong

🔥 New Features

WordPress

🌟Site Rules – Manage HTTP Headers & Redirects for WordPress Sites 

Create and manage HTTP header and redirect rules for WordPress sites running NGINX directly from the xCloud UI – no manual nginx config editing required.

Add Custom Headers 

Define custom HTTP response headers (security headers, caching headers, CORS, etc.) for your WordPress site directly from the dashboard. Strengthen site security, control browser caching, and manage cross-origin policies without manually editing nginx configuration files.

Redirects

Set up 301/302 redirects for URLs, paths, or patterns from a clean, intuitive interface. Manage post-migration URL changes, enforce trailing slashes, or route legacy paths to new destinations — all without writing a single rewrite rule by hand.

• Auto Upgrade Mail Delivery: Automatically upgrades your email plan when usage reaches the limit. xCloud will notify you when your email usage reaches 90% of your available quota. This ensures transactional emails continue sending without disruption.
