What is Corteza?

Corteza is an open-source low-code platform for building CRM, case-management and other business applications. You describe your data with a visual module builder, lay out pages with a page designer, automate processes with a workflow engine and control access with roles.

This template runs the official Corteza image together with a private PostgreSQL database, so the applications you build and the records people enter stay on a server you control.

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

A Corteza stack normally means a server container, a PostgreSQL database, three signing secrets, two volumes, a first administrator, a domain and a certificate before anyone can sign in. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Corteza from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server, then enter the admin email — the admin password is generated for you, or you can set your own.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the official Corteza image, pinned by immutable digest, with a private PostgreSQL 15 database that publishes no host port, mount the corteza_db and corteza_data volumes, generate the database credentials and the JWT, cookie and CSRF secrets, create your super-administrator and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Sign In And Add Your People
Allow one to two minutes for the first start, then sign in at /auth with the credentials shown in your installation. Open the admin console at /admin/ to add users, then create your first namespace and module in Compose.

Everything Corteza Does, On Your Own Server

Corteza runs in full here: a low-code platform for business applications on your own domain, backed by a database you own.

Visual Data-Model Builder
Define modules and fields for your own records with the data-model builder instead of writing a database schema by hand.
Page Designer
Lay out the pages people use to list, view and edit records in your applications with the visual page designer.
Workflow Automation
Automate processes with Corteza's built-in workflow engine.
Role-Based Access Control
Decide who can see and change what by assigning permissions to roles.
Private PostgreSQL Included
PostgreSQL 15 is reachable only inside the install's private network, with no published port, and keeps users, modules, records, pages and workflows on your server.
Sign-Up Closed By Default
Self-registration is switched off when the first administrator is created, so only people you add from the admin console can sign in.

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.

How do I sign in?

Use the admin email and password from your installation credentials at the /auth page on your domain. That account is the super-administrator.

Can anyone register?

No. Self-registration is turned off when the first administrator is created, so strangers cannot sign up. Add users from the admin console at /admin/. To allow open sign-up later, enable it in the admin console and review role permissions first.

What runs alongside Corteza?

A private PostgreSQL 15 database that is not exposed to the internet.

Why does the first load show an error?

The first start creates the database tables and loads the default configuration, which takes about one to two minutes. The page may show an error until then.

Does email work out of the box?

No. Corteza sends no email until you set the SMTP_* values in the environment editor, so password-reset and invitation emails do not work until then.

Are server-side scripts and search included?

No. The optional Corredor script runner and the Discovery search add-on are not part of this template, so server-side scripts are unavailable.

What should I back up?

The corteza_db volume (users, roles, modules, records, pages, workflows and settings) and the corteza_data volume (uploaded files and attachments), plus the stable secrets in the environment file. Treat the two volumes as one recovery set.

Backups in xCloud

What happens if I change the generated secrets?

Keep the generated JWT, cookie and CSRF secrets stable. Changing them signs everyone out and invalidates issued tokens.

Does the admin password stay in sync with my account?

No. The admin email and password only create the first super-administrator on first start. Rotate the password while signed in, not by editing the environment file.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update Corteza?

No. The template pins Corteza 2024.9.10 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, 512 MB of RAM and 5 GB of disk for Corteza and PostgreSQL together; measured idle use in QA was about 100 MiB across both containers. The image is published for amd64 only, so the server must be x86-64. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, with real headroom above that baseline.

What survives a restart?

Namespaces, modules, records and workflows survive an xCloud Restart, because they live on the persistent corteza_db volume.

Is xCloud officially partnered with Corteza?

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