html2rss Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy html2rss hosting and turn almost any web page into an RSS or JSON feed on your own domain. xCloud runs the pinned html2rss-web 1.13.0 image next to its headless-browser companion, generates the access token and signing key, and publishes the interface over HTTPS in minutes — so sites without a feed can still land in your feed reader.

What is html2rss?

html2rss is an open-source service that turns a web page into a feed. You paste a page address into its web interface and it extracts the items on that page into an RSS 2.0 or JSON Feed that any feed reader can subscribe to. For pages that only build their listings with JavaScript, a bundled headless browser renders the page first.

The same instance also serves a Feed Directory of ready-made feed configurations. It is open source under the MIT licence. This template deploys html2rss-web 1.13.0.

From Sign-Up to Your First Feed In Just 3 Easy Steps

A working html2rss stack normally means a web container, a browser companion, secrets, a domain and a certificate before the first feed. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick html2rss from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server — there are no extra fields to fill in.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the html2rss web image and the headless-browser companion, both pinned by digest, keep the companion on the private network, generate the access token and feed signing key, and publish the interface over HTTPS on your domain. There are no volumes to mount.
Step 03
Create A Feed
Save the access token shown in the protected installation credentials, open your HTTPS html2rss URL and enter the token when prompted. Paste a web page address, create the feed and subscribe to it in any feed reader.

Everything html2rss Does, On Your Own Server

html2rss runs in full here: paste a page, get a feed, and keep feed creation behind a token only you hold.

RSS 2.0 And JSON Feed
Paste a page address and html2rss extracts its items into an RSS 2.0 or JSON Feed, without you writing selectors.
Headless Browser Included
A bundled headless-browser companion renders JavaScript-heavy pages so sites that build their listings in the browser can still become feeds.
Feed Directory
The same instance serves the Feed Directory catalog, so you can browse ready-made feed configurations.
Token-Gated Feed Creation
Creating feeds needs the generated access token; QA confirmed that requests with no token or a wrong token get a 401.
Sign-In-Free Subscriptions
There are no user accounts. Feed readers subscribe to signed feed links rather than to a login.
Private Browser Companion
The headless browser listens on an internal port and is reachable only by the web container, never from the internet.

What You Can Do With html2rss

Follow sites that have no feed
Turn a news listing, changelog or releases page into a feed and read it next to everything else you subscribe to.
Track JavaScript-rendered listings
Let the headless browser render pages that only show their items after scripts run, then subscribe to the result.
Feeds for research and monitoring
Keep an eye on newsrooms, project updates and announcement pages without checking each one by hand.
A private feed service for your team
Creation is gated by a token you hand out, while feed readers subscribe to signed links with no account to manage.

html2rss vs Alternatives

RSS-Bridge: A self-hosted project that builds feeds from site-specific bridges. html2rss instead extracts items from a pasted page address.
RSSHub: A self-hosted feed generator built around a large set of per-site routes. html2rss starts from any page address you paste.
FreshRSS: A self-hosted feed reader rather than a generator. It pairs with html2rss: html2rss makes the feed, FreshRSS reads it.
Hosted web-to-RSS services: Commercial services that convert pages into feeds on their servers. html2rss runs on your own server and domain, so your feed list stays with you.

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 are no user accounts. Enter the generated access token in the interface to create feeds; feed readers use the signed feed links instead.

What runs alongside html2rss?

A headless-browser companion for JavaScript-heavy sites. It listens on an internal port and is not exposed publicly.

Where do I find the access token?

xCloud generates a 32-character access token at install and shows it in the protected site credentials. Enter it in the interface when prompted.

Who can read my feeds?

Anyone holding a feed link can read that feed, so treat feed links as private. The access token only controls who can create new feeds.

Is the access token safe to share?

Share it carefully. Anyone with the token can make the server fetch any address it can reach, including private network addresses.

What happens if I change the signing key?

Rotating HTML2RSS_SECRET_KEY invalidates every feed link you already shared, so change it only deliberately and then Save & Redeploy.

What should I back up?

There are no volumes or database. Keep a copy of the stable .env values — the access token and the feed signing key. Generated feeds are cached in memory only.

Backups in xCloud

What survives a restart?

Feed links keep working after an xCloud Restart. The in-memory feed cache is cleared, so feeds are regenerated when requested.

Why is a JavaScript-heavy page returning an empty feed?

The browser companion has no health check, so the install's 2/2 running status cannot show whether it works. If such pages return empty feeds, check the companion container.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update html2rss?

No. The template pins html2rss-web 1.13.0 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, 2048 MB of RAM and 4 GB of disk. Idle use in QA was about 412 MiB across both containers; browser use under load was not measured. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, with real headroom above that baseline.

Is xCloud officially partnered with html2rss?

No. No official partnership or endorsement between xCloud and the html2rss project has been verified. This is a deployment and server-management option for the open-source html2rss 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.
