Domoticz Hosting Live In 5 Minutes
Deploy Domoticz hosting and run an always-on home automation hub behind HTTPS. xCloud runs the pinned Domoticz 2026.4 image as a single container with an embedded SQLite database, sets the administrator account from the install form with a generated password, keeps the database, plugins and scripts on a persistent volume and publishes the web interface and API over HTTPS — network-based hardware only, so MQTT, LAN gateways and virtual sensors work, while USB dongles do not.
- No terminal
- No technical skills needed
- No lock-in, cancel anytime
What is Domoticz?
Domoticz is a lightweight home automation system. It monitors and controls lights, switches and sensors from a web dashboard, and automates them with timers, scenes, notifications, a JSON API and dzVents, Lua and Python scripting.
On xCloud it runs as an always-on hub in a single container, so only network-based hardware is reachable. USB dongles, GPIO and I²C and devices that need local discovery do not work from this install.
From Sign-Up to a Live Automation Hub In Just 3 Easy Steps
A Domoticz hub normally means a container, an administrator account, a userdata volume, a domain and a certificate before the first device is added. This is the same result without assembling any of it.
Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Domoticz from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server, then confirm the administrator username (default admin) — the password is generated for you.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the pinned Domoticz image as a single container with its embedded SQLite database, mount the domoticz_userdata volume for the database, plugins, dzVents scripts and backups, apply the administrator account on first start and publish the web interface and API over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Open It And Sign In
Save the password from the protected installation credentials, open your HTTPS Domoticz URL (the first start can take a minute or two) and sign in. Then add hardware under Setup, such as an MQTT gateway or virtual sensors.
Everything Domoticz Does, On Your Own Server
Domoticz runs in full here for network-based hardware: a home automation hub on your own domain with a login from the first start.
Lights, Switches And Sensors
Monitor and control lights, switches and sensors from one web dashboard.
Timers, Scenes And Notifications
Automate with timers, scenes and notifications, and script with dzVents (Lua) and Python plugins.
MQTT And Network Hardware
Connect MQTT brokers, LAN gateways, cloud services and virtual sensors as hardware entries.
JSON API
Use the JSON API for dashboards and custom integrations; unauthenticated and wrong-password API commands were rejected in verification.
Login From The First Start
The administrator account is created from the install form with a generated password, so the hub is not left open.
Persistent Userdata
The database, plugins, dzVents scripts, web templates and backups live in the domoticz_userdata volume; hardware entries and devices survived an xCloud Restart.

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 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.

John ApertureI went from Cloudways to xCloud. No intention on switching in the foreseeable future.
Blaine MooreFrequently Asked Questions
Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.
Which hardware can I use?
Network-based integrations: MQTT, LAN gateways, cloud services, virtual sensors, plugins and scripts. USB dongles (Z-Wave, Zigbee), GPIO, I²C and devices that need local discovery are not reachable from the isolated install.
How do I sign in?
Use the administrator username and the generated password shown in the installation credentials.
How do I change the password?
Change it inside Domoticz under Setup > Settings > Users. The credentials are read only on first start, so editing them in the environment later does not change an existing account.
Should I add a trusted local network?
No. Keep Setup > Settings > Local Networks empty, because a trusted network skips the login.
What runs alongside Domoticz?
Nothing. It is a single container with an embedded SQLite database.
Who can change my devices?
Anyone who can sign in can change every device and script, so give the account only to people you trust.
What should I back up?
The whole domoticz_userdata volume as one unit. It holds the database (domoticz.db), plugins, dzVents scripts, web templates and backups; the database restore upload limit is 100 MB.
Does xCloud automatically back up or update Domoticz?
No. The template pins Domoticz 2026.4 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, 256 MB of RAM and 2 GB of disk; measured idle use in QA was about 15 MiB. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, with real headroom above that baseline.
Is xCloud officially partnered with Domoticz?
No. No official partnership or endorsement between xCloud and the Domoticz project has been verified. This is a deployment and server-management option for the open-source Domoticz 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.
