Hollama Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy Hollama hosting and give your team a clean chat interface for the models you already run. xCloud runs the pinned Hollama 0.36.0 container as a single service and publishes it over HTTPS on your own domain in about 30 seconds. The server stores nothing: chats, settings, knowledge files and API keys stay in each visitor's browser, and the browser connects straight to the Ollama or OpenAI-compatible server you point it at.

  • No terminal
  • No technical skills needed
  • No lock-in, cancel anytime

What is Hollama?

Hollama is an open-source, minimal chat interface for large language models. It supports Ollama and OpenAI servers, and upstream describes it as an LLM chat app that runs entirely in your browser.

Hollama does not ship a model. You point it at an Ollama or OpenAI-compatible server, and your chats, settings and API keys are stored locally in the browser. This template deploys version 0.36.0.

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

Hollama is a single container, but it still needs a domain, a certificate and a reverse proxy before anyone can use it. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

  1. Step 01

    Sign Up

    Create your xCloud account and pick Hollama from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server — there are no extra fields to fill in and no credentials to generate.

  2. Step 02

    We Deploy It For You

    One click. We bring up the official Hollama container, pinned by immutable digest, as a single service with no database and no volume, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain. It is usually ready within about 30 seconds.

  3. Step 03

    Connect Your Model Server

    Open your HTTPS Hollama URL, go to Settings and add the address of your Ollama or OpenAI-compatible server, then pick a model. The server must be reachable over HTTPS, and Ollama must allow your site's origin.

Everything Hollama Does, On Your Own Domain

Hollama runs in full here: a browser-based chat interface for the language models you already serve, on a domain you control.

  • Ollama And OpenAI Servers

    Chat with models served by Ollama or any OpenAI-compatible API from one web interface, with support for multiple servers.

  • Chats Stay In The Browser

    Chats, settings, knowledge files and API keys are stored in each visitor's own browser, not on the server, and are not shared between visitors or devices.

  • Import And Export

    Export and import chats and settings from Settings, Data management, to keep or move your data between browsers.

  • Markdown, Code And Math

    Replies render Markdown with syntax highlighting and KaTeX math notation, and you can copy code snippets, messages or whole sessions.

  • Text And Vision Models

    Upstream supports text and vision models and reasoning models, with customizable system prompts and advanced Ollama parameters.

  • Edit And Retry

    Edit and retry messages in a conversation, in a responsive layout with light and dark themes.

Everything You Need To Run Your Chat Interface 24/7

Managed hosting for Hollama, so the parts that keep it online are not your problem.

  • Hollama 0.36.0 deployed instantly
  • Official image pinned by digest
  • No database or volume to manage
  • Kept behind xCloud nginx
  • Free SSL certificate
  • Server backups and snapshots
  • Server security updates included
  • 30+ server locations
  • Unused balance refunded

What You Can Do With Hollama

  • A shared front end for your Ollama server

    Give people a web address to chat with the models you already serve with Ollama, instead of asking each of them to install a client.

  • One interface for several model servers

    Add more than one Ollama or OpenAI-compatible server in Settings and switch between them from the same chat window.

  • Chat history that stays with each person

    Chats, settings, knowledge files and API keys live in each visitor's own browser, so the server holds none of them and they are not shared between visitors.

  • A very small hosted service

    A single container with no database and no volume, which measured about 26 MiB of RAM at idle in QA.

Hollama vs Alternatives

Open WebUI
Another web interface that connects to Ollama and any OpenAI-compatible API endpoint. Hollama keeps nothing on the server; chats stay in the visitor's browser.
LibreChat
An open-source AI chat platform with agents, a code interpreter and support for multiple providers. Hollama is a single chat interface with no server-side data.
Ollama
The runtime that serves the models. It is the server side that Hollama connects to, so the two are used together rather than instead of each other.

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!

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.

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

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

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.

Does Hollama include a language model?

No. Open Settings and add the address of your own Ollama or OpenAI-compatible server.

How do I sign in?

You don't: there is no sign-in and no built-in authentication. Anyone who can reach the site can open the interface, so put it behind your own access layer, for example HTTP Basic Auth at the reverse proxy, if you need to restrict it. The template does not enable one.

Where are my chats stored?

In your own browser, not on the server. Chats, settings, knowledge files and API keys are not shared between visitors or devices. Use Settings, Data management to export or import them.

Why can't Hollama reach my Ollama server?

The browser connects directly to your model server, not through the Hollama server. That server therefore needs an HTTPS address, because the browser blocks an http:// address from an HTTPS page, and Ollama must allow the site's origin, for example OLLAMA_ORIGINS=https://your-hollama-domain on the Ollama host.

What runs alongside Hollama?

Nothing. It is a single container with no database, no private services and no volumes.

What should I back up?

Nothing on the server, because it stores no data. To keep or move your chats and settings, export them in the browser from Settings, Data management.

Backups in xCloud

What survives a restart?

The server holds no data, so a restart loses nothing there. In QA, browser-side sessions were still present after a restart and reload.

Can I turn on analytics?

Optionally. Plausible analytics for visitors is off by default; uncomment PUBLIC_PLAUSIBLE_DOMAIN, PUBLIC_PLAUSIBLE_API and PUBLIC_PLAUSIBLE_SRC in the Environment editor and use Save & Redeploy.

Does Hollama check for updates?

The sidebar's update check is made by each visitor's browser to the GitHub releases API, and it can be turned off in Settings.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update Hollama?

No. The template pins Hollama 0.36.0 by immutable digest; new installations use the pinned release and existing sites are not automatically upgraded. 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 1 GB of disk; measured idle use in QA was about 26 MiB. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, which leaves large headroom above that baseline.

Is xCloud officially partnered with Hollama?

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