Chevereto Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Run your own image hosting and sharing site, free of third-party platform rules and closures. xCloud brings up the pinned Chevereto 4.5.7 image with MySQL 8.4 and Redis 8 already wired up, creates your administrator account and keeps your uploads and database on persistent storage behind managed HTTPS.

From Sign-Up to a Live Chevereto Site In Just 3 Easy Steps

Self-hosting Chevereto normally means a database, a cache, a scheduler, a domain and a certificate before the first image ever uploads. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

  1. Step 01

    Sign Up

    Create your xCloud account and pick Chevereto from the OneClick catalog. Enter a domain and your administrator username and email.

  2. Step 02

    We Deploy It For You

    One click. We bring up the pinned Chevereto 4.5.7 image with MySQL and Redis, generate your administrator password, and publish the site over HTTPS on your domain.

  3. Step 03

    Start Uploading

    Sign in as the administrator, upload your first image, then configure an SMTP provider so account emails can be sent.

Everything Chevereto Does, On Your Own Server

Chevereto's free edition runs in full here — image hosting with albums, user accounts and a scheduler, on infrastructure you control.

  • Your Own Domain

    Host and share images on your own domain, free of third-party platform rules, ads or closures.

  • Albums And Accounts

    Organise uploads into albums and give people their own user accounts and profiles.

  • Large Uploads

    The web uploader sends 16 MB chunks with a 2 GB per-file limit, set end to end.

  • Comes Complete

    MySQL 8.4, Redis 8 and a scheduler that runs every minute are all wired up for you — nothing else to provision.

  • Closed Install Wizard

    The public /install wizard is disabled. Only the administrator you entered on the form can sign in at first.

  • Survives A Restart

    Uploaded images, the database and signed-in sessions all survive an xCloud Restart.

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!

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 is Chevereto?

Chevereto is self-hosted image hosting for uploading, organising and sharing photos with albums and user accounts. This template deploys the free edition, version 4.5.7.

How do I sign in the first time?

Open your HTTPS site URL and sign in with the administrator username and password from the installation credentials. The public setup wizard is disabled, so nobody else can claim the site first.

What runs alongside Chevereto?

A private MySQL 8.4 database, a private Redis 8 cache and session store, and a scheduler container that runs Chevereto's jobs every minute. None of them is reachable from the internet.

How big can uploads be?

Up to 2 GB per file. The web uploader sends files in 16 MB chunks, so large uploads also work behind a CDN.

What should I back up?

The image, avatar and custom-page volumes (chevereto_storage, chevereto_users, chevereto_pages) together with chevereto_database, plus the ENCRYPTION_KEY_HEX value and database credentials from the environment.

Which edition is this?

Chevereto's free open-source edition, licensed AGPLv3. Lite and Pro are separate, commercially licensed editions from Chevereto that this template does not include.

Does email work out of the box?

No provider is configured by default, so you will see a 'no email provider configured' notice. Configure SMTP in the admin dashboard so account emails and notices can be sent.

Can I rotate the administrator password?

Change it inside Chevereto. Editing ADMIN_PASSWORD in the environment does not rotate an existing account — it only affects first installation.

Does xCloud automatically update Chevereto?

No. The image is pinned by immutable digest; a catalog re-sync affects new installations only. Read the upstream release notes and take a backup before changing the pinned image.

Is xCloud officially partnered with Chevereto?

No. No official partnership or endorsement has been verified. This is a deployment and server-management option for the open-source project, not an official Chevereto offering.

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.
