CloudFest 2025 – The #1 Cloud Conference ends but its energy, innovation, and powerful connections continue to echo in the cloud ecosystem – and xCloud was proud to be a part of this mega event.
It was a milestone – a place of ideas, innovation, and an opportunity to meet at the global epicenter of cloud computing. And for xCloud Hosting, this year was extra special. We officially made our debut at CloudFest, stepping onto the world stage with pride, passion, and purpose.
Held from March 17–20 at the spectacular Europa-Park in Rust, Germany, CloudFest once again brought together the brightest minds in the cloud and hosting industries. From hyperscalers and infrastructure providers to software innovators, SaaS platforms, domain registrars, and everything in between — if it lives in the cloud, it was represented at CloudFest.
And this year, xCloud was one of them.
xCloud’s First Visit To CloudFest: Memories & Experiences
Being part of CloudFest 2025 as a first-time participant was nothing short of exhilarating. Our mission was clear: connect, learn, and discuss what makes xCloud different — our commitment to robust, developer-friendly, performance-driven hosting that blends scalability with simplicity.
Leading the charge was our Founder, M Asif Rahman, a passionate entrepreneur, technologist, and community builder who has long been active in the open-source and WordPress spaces. His presence at CloudFest added both credibility and clarity to xCloud’s vision — a hosting platform built by developers, for developers.
From the very first day, we were immersed in an environment of energy and exchange. CloudFest is not just about sitting in conference rooms; it is about engaging in hallway conversations, sharing stories over coffee, and diving deep into the next generation of cloud solutions.
Highlights from Our CloudFest Journey
Joining CloudFest for the first time was not just symbolic, we have long admired the role this event plays in shaping the cloud industry — and finally, we are excited to be a part of it. Here is a look at some key highlights from our first-ever participation:
🌐 A Global Meeting Ground
CloudFest brings together attendees from more than 80 countries. The diversity of perspectives and experiences shared was inspiring. From early-stage startups to tech giants, everyone came with an open mind and a shared mission: “Push the boundaries of what is possible in the cloud”.
We met with cloud infrastructure providers, software companies, cybersecurity experts, fellow hosting platforms, and entrepreneurs from all over the world. Whether in scheduled meetings or spontaneous chats, the connections we made were real and ripe with potential.
🎤 Insightful Keynotes & Technical Deep-Dives
Sessions like “AI in Cloud Management”, “The New Era of Green Infrastructure”, and “Decentralized Hosting and Web3” gave us valuable insights into the trends shaping tomorrow. We also attended several WordPress-related sessions, given our strong roots in the WordPress community.
💬 Conversations & Collaborations
We had fruitful discussions about strategic partnerships, possible integrations, and how we can help shape a better, more secure, and scalable web for the next generation. CloudFest is all about collaboration and creating the future.
M Asif Rahman engaged in several impactful conversations with industry veterans, tech leaders, and product builders. From discussing performance optimization techniques to sharing thoughts on scaling container-based architectures, these were not just casual meetups, they were idea incubators.
🥊 Unexpected Fun: A Boxing Ring in the Tech World?
Yes, you read that right. CloudFest 2025 isn’t just about sessions and booths — it’s a full-blown experience. One of the most unforgettable sights? A full-size boxing ring in the middle of the expo floor, complete with mock matches, lighting effects, and roaring crowds. It was a bold metaphor for the competitive, high-energy nature of the tech world — and it brought a sense of excitement and edge that only CloudFest could pull off.
Around every corner, there were surprises: themed lounges, immersive booth designs, arcade setups, and even rollercoasters for those who dared to mix adrenaline with innovation. The entire venue at Europa-Park felt like a tech amusement park – vibrant, buzzing, and packed with possibility.
🚀 Learning from the Best
We had the opportunity to explore extraordinary solutions in web security, DDoS mitigation, automation workflows, and container orchestration. These insights will directly influence our roadmap and help deliver an even more powerful hosting experience for our users.
CloudFest is on a whole different level! Good to see WordPress being an important part of it. Alhamdulillah for the amazing growth of xCloud, we have tons more to do. Godspeed!
– M Asif Rahman, Founder of xCloud
The sessions and discussions helped us sharpen our perspective on the evolving cloud landscape from AI-powered automation and edge computing to multi-cloud architectures and green hosting initiatives. Every insight collected is now a data point in how we evolve xCloud forward.
Thank You, CloudFest – See You in 2026!
To everyone who visited CloudFest, talked with us, collaborated, or even just shared a smile – THANK YOU. Our first CloudFest was amazing. We return with stronger ideas, a bigger network, and renewed momentum to push xCloud forward. CloudFest 2025 may be over, but the journey it inspired has only just begun.
We are already looking forward to the next one! Until then, let us keep pushing boundaries, embracing collaboration, and celebrating the open-source community we are all a part of.
Stay tuned — the best of xCloud is on the horizon. 🚀
