What is Ferron?

Ferron is a fast, memory-safe web server written in Rust. It serves the contents of a web root as a website.

On xCloud it runs as the official Alpine-based image in a single container, serving a static site from a persistent volume while the xCloud proxy in front of it handles HTTPS.

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

Serving a static site normally means installing a web server, wiring up a certificate, redirecting HTTP to HTTPS and keeping the files somewhere that survives a restart. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Ferron from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server — there are no extra fields to fill in, because Ferron has no settings to enter at install.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the official Ferron 2.8.1 Alpine image, pinned by immutable digest, as a single container, mount the ferron_www volume as the web root and publish port 80 over HTTPS on your domain. It is usually healthy within about 15 seconds.
Step 03
Publish Your Site
Open your HTTPS Ferron URL and confirm the welcome page loads. Then copy your own site files into the ferron_www volume — changes are served immediately, with no restart. Keep an index.html in the web root, since the health check requests /.

Everything Ferron Does, On Your Own Server

Ferron runs here as a straightforward static web server on your own domain, with the files you publish kept on a volume you control.

Memory-Safe Rust Web Server
Ferron is written in Rust and has a very small footprint — measured idle use in QA was about 4-5 MiB of RAM.
Static Sites And Documentation
Serve a static website, landing page or documentation from a dedicated web root.
Edits Served Straight Away
Changes to files in the web root are served right away, with no restart needed.
Managed HTTPS
HTTPS and the HTTP-to-HTTPS redirect are handled by the xCloud proxy in front of the container, and the host port is bound to loopback only.
Welcome Page Included
On first start the image seeds the web root with a welcome page, so you can confirm the deployment before adding your own files.
Dotfiles Stay Private
Dotfiles such as /.env return 403, and the configuration file is not web-served.

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?

There is no login. The site is a public static website, and Ferron has no accounts, admin panel or upload form.

Is my site public?

Yes. Anyone with the address can read every file in the web root, so do not place private content there. Dotfiles such as /.env return 403 and the configuration file is not web-served. If part of the site must be private, put HTTP Basic Auth in front of the domain at your own proxy or access layer.

How do I publish my own site?

Copy your site files into the ferron_www volume of the install. They are served immediately, with no restart. Keep an index.html in the web root, because the container health check requests /.

Can I change Ferron's configuration?

Not through this template. It keeps the image default configuration, which serves the web root over HTTP behind the xCloud HTTPS proxy, so virtual hosts, redirects and reverse-proxy rules are not configurable here.

What runs alongside Ferron?

Nothing. It is a single container with no database or private services.

Does Ferron need any settings at install?

No. There are no extra fields to fill in at install, and Ferron reads no environment variables.

How is HTTPS handled?

The xCloud proxy in front of the container handles HTTPS and the HTTP-to-HTTPS redirect. Ferron serves port 80, which is published on the loopback interface only.

Enable HTTPS in xCloud

What should I back up?

The ferron_www volume, which holds your whole website. Back it up especially before upgrades.

Backups in xCloud

What survives a restart?

Your site files in the ferron_www volume survive an xCloud Restart, because it is a persistent named volume.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update Ferron?

No. The template pins Ferron 2.8.1 by immutable digest; new installations use the pinned release. To upgrade, read the upstream release notes, then bump the readable tag and digest together. 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 1 GB of disk; measured idle use in QA was about 4-5 MiB. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, with real headroom above that baseline.

Is xCloud officially partnered with Ferron?

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