Get useful website analytics without the weight of a full tracking stack. GoatCounter measures visits, pageviews, referrers, browsers, locations and screen sizes from one compact dashboard. xCloud configures the pinned GoatCounter 2.7.0 image, its persistent SQLite volume and the HTTPS reverse proxy in minutes — then GoatCounter's own first-site wizard walks you through creating the analytics site and administrator.
Self-hosting a lightweight analytics platform normally means a container, a database file, a domain and a certificate before a single pageview is recorded. This is the same result without assembling any of it.
Step 01
Create your xCloud account and pick GoatCounter from the OneClick catalog. Choose a domain and submit the installation once — there are no other fields to fill in.
Step 02
One click. We bring up the vendor-maintained GoatCounter 2.7.0 image pinned by immutable digest, mount the goatcounter_data volume, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Open your Application URL and use GoatCounter's first-site wizard to create the analytics site and administrator account. Add GoatCounter's tracking script to the website you control, send a test pageview, and verify the result in the dashboard.
GoatCounter runs in full here — a self-hosted, privacy-friendly analytics platform, on infrastructure you control.
See visits, pageviews, referrers, browsers, locations and screen sizes from one compact, uncluttered dashboard.
GoatCounter is built to be compact and fast, without the resource footprint of a full analytics stack.
GoatCounter is designed to work without tracking cookies. Whether that removes your consent-banner requirement still depends on your own jurisdiction's rules.
Every pageview is written to a SQLite database on goatcounter_data, so your analytics history survives a restart.
GoatCounter's own first-site wizard creates the analytics site and administrator the first time you open the app — no credential is generated for you.
The SQLite database and application state both live in goatcounter_data, which survives a restart intact.

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.

GoatCounter is a free, open-source, privacy-friendly web analytics platform that reports visits, pageviews, referrers, browsers, locations and screen sizes from a compact dashboard. This template deploys version 2.7.0.
Yes — it is open source under a modified EUPL-1.2 license, with its bundled count.js tracking client separately licensed under ISC. What you pay xCloud for is the dedicated server it runs on and the management around it, not the application itself.
Yes — that is exactly what this template deploys. It brings up the vendor-maintained GoatCounter 2.7.0 image pinned by immutable digest, mounts its persistent SQLite data volume and publishes it over HTTPS on your domain in about five minutes instead of assembled by hand.
Through GoatCounter's own first-site wizard, not a credential xCloud generates for you. Open the Application URL after installation, and because the database is empty GoatCounter presents its setup wizard — enter the public analytics hostname, an administrator email address and a password there, the same way Gogs or HumHub's own installer works.
The pinned GoatCounter 2.7.0 image, the SQLite database, the persistent goatcounter_data volume, the domain and the HTTPS route. Only the GoatCounter web interface is published through xCloud-managed ingress; the administrator account itself is created by you, inside GoatCounter's first-site wizard.
The goatcounter_data volume, as one unit at /home/goatcounter/goatcounter-data. It holds the SQLite database with every site, monitor result and pageview history. Back it up while writes are quiesced or with a SQLite-aware snapshot, keep off-server copies, and test restoration to an isolated installation. Don't run `docker compose down -v` during routine maintenance — that removes the volume.
The template manifest asks for 256 MB of RAM, 1 CPU core and 2 GB of disk as a floor — GoatCounter is very lightweight. This page sells the same 6 GB tier as every other OneClick app, well above what GoatCounter itself needs, so there's room for other work on the same server.
Everything on goatcounter_data, because it is a persistent named volume. A restart does not touch an existing site, its analytics history, or the administrator account.
GoatCounter is designed to work without tracking cookies, which is why it's marketed as privacy-friendly. Whether that removes your legal requirement for a consent banner depends on your jurisdiction and what else your site does — review your own retention and privacy-disclosure obligations rather than treating this as a blanket exemption.
Only websites you are authorized to collect analytics for. Configure GoatCounter's data retention and your site's privacy disclosures to match the rules that apply in your jurisdiction before sending it real traffic.
No. The template pins GoatCounter 2.7.0 by immutable digest; a catalog re-sync affects new installations only. Review upstream release notes and take a verified backup of goatcounter_data before changing the pinned release.
No. No official partnership or endorsement between xCloud and the GoatCounter project has been verified. This is a deployment and server-management option for the open-source GoatCounter project.
Yes. It is a dedicated Cloud VPS, not a locked appliance, so you can deploy other OneClick apps or your own sites beside it as long as the resources are there.
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.
