Deploy Docling Serve hosting and turn PDFs and Office files into structured Markdown or JSON through an API you own, with no model downloads at runtime. xCloud runs the pinned Docling Serve v1.35.0 image with all five conversion models baked in, generates the API key every request must carry and publishes the API, the /ui playground and the /docs reference over HTTPS in minutes.
A document conversion API normally means a large image, model downloads, an API key, a domain and a certificate before the first PDF. This is the same result without assembling any of it.
Step 01
Create your xCloud account and pick Docling Serve from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server. There is nothing else to fill in: xCloud generates the API key. The first image pull is about 4.4 GB, so the first install takes a few minutes.
Step 02
One click. We bring up the official Docling Serve v1.35.0 image, pinned by immutable digest, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Copy the API key from the credentials panel and send requests with the X-Api-Key header: a file to /v1/convert/file as multipart form data, or a URL to /v1/convert/source as JSON. Use the async endpoints for large documents, or try the /ui playground in a browser.
Docling Serve runs in full here: conversion, chunking and status endpoints, the playground and the OpenAPI docs, with every model already in the image.
Word, PowerPoint, Excel, PDFs, HTML and images accepted.
Structured output ready for search indexes, RAG pipelines and archives.
Layout, table structure, picture classification and two OCR engines ship in the image; nothing downloads at runtime.
Conversion, chunking and status endpoints require the X-Api-Key header; only /health and /docs stay open.
Synchronous requests give up after 120 seconds; the async endpoints let you poll instead.
Documents are capped at 50 MB and 200 pages by default to protect memory; raise the limits in the environment.

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 GeovannyI'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 PinedaI'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
Leo KooHow Cloud Nine Web Elevated Client Experience While Streamlining Hosting Operations using xCloud
Ed EllinghamxCloud 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 ButucelxCloud isn't just a solution. It's like one of that friend who got your back when you screw things up pretty bad.
Waqar AhmedTrust 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 SinghSo 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 VillaCame from cloudways then to runcloud then to xcloud. Looks like I'm staying here.
Gerson ElI'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 LewisI came from Cloudways and won't go back. Highly impressed with xCloud. Glad I gave them a chance.
Jared McDowellI 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
David McCanHow Kevin Heinrichs Cut Hosting Costs by 84% While Running WooCommerce & Node.js Sites Efficiently
Kevin HeinrichsI had 150 sites on cloudways and am in the process of moving them to xcloud. Much faster and better priced.
Dan SpinozaDear 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 MaknojiaCame from runcloud. Tried xcloud and never came back.
Karl FanegaHow Advanced Web Strategies Saved Over $2,000 & Recovered 56 Hours per Month Managing 70+ Client Websites
Gary MoodyxCloud 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.
Jorge de los Reyes MartínezI use Server Avatar and xCloud and I'll sooner use xCloud than Server Avatar personally.

Lori NewmanI too have moved over to xCloud. It's pretty sweet. One click n8n and uptime Kuma apps
John ApertureI went from Cloudways to xCloud. No intention on switching in the foreseeable future.

Docling Serve is an open-source HTTP API that converts PDFs, Office files, HTML and images into structured Markdown, JSON or HTML using layout, table and OCR models, released under the MIT licence. This template deploys version v1.35.0.
All conversion, chunking and status endpoints. /health stays open so monitoring can reach it, /docs because upstream's API-docs flag defaults to on, and /ui loads without a key but asks for it before converting.
Change DOCLING_SERVE_API_KEY in the Environment editor and Save & Redeploy, then update every client. Never blank it (the app will not start) or remove the line (authentication turns off).
The proxy accepts uploads up to about 100 MB; within that the template caps documents at 50 MB and 200 pages to protect memory during CPU-only inference. Raise DOCLING_SERVE_MAX_FILE_SIZE and DOCLING_SERVE_MAX_NUM_PAGES in the environment if your server can take it.
The template asks for 4 GB of RAM and 2 cores for CPU inference with all models loaded, which leaves too little room on a 6 GB box.
The pinned Docling Serve image, the api base url, ui playground, api docs and api key shown in the credentials panel, the domain and the HTTPS route. Docling Serve stays on internal port 5001, reachable only through xCloud nginx.
Nothing on the server: the template is stateless, uploads and results live in an ephemeral scratch directory for the life of a request. Keep the API key in your protected recovery records and store source files and results in your own system.
No. The template pins Docling Serve v1.35.0 by immutable digest; new installations use the pinned release, existing sites are not automatically upgraded. Back up first, read the upstream release notes, then update the image on your own schedule. Server-level backups and snapshots are available on every Cloud VPS.
The template manifest asks for 2 CPU cores, 4 GiB of RAM and 10 GiB of disk as a floor for Docling Serve. A 4 GiB floor leaves too little room on a 6 GB box once the operating system is up, so this page sells the 16 GB tier as the entry rung.
The key and limits, because they live in the environment. Conversion results do not persist by design.
No. No official partnership or endorsement between xCloud and the Docling Serve project has been verified. This is a deployment and server-management option for the open-source Docling Serve project.
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.
Connect your first server in minutes. No credit card required, and no plan you have to grow into.
