What is IronCalc?

IronCalc is a modern, work-in-progress spreadsheet engine and set of tools, programmed in Rust, with an xlsx reader and writer and a web application you can run in the browser. Run on your own server it is a self-hosted IronCalc, an alternative to a hosted spreadsheet such as Google Sheets or Excel Online, dual-licensed under MIT or Apache-2.0. Upstream labels the web app a proof of concept and warns against putting sensitive data in shared workbooks.

On xCloud it is IronCalc 0.8.3 with its Caddy front end, both pinned by digest. There are no accounts and no built-in authentication, so anyone who can reach the address can open the editor. Workbooks live in each visitor's own browser, and only the ones they share are uploaded to the ironcalc_data volume, where anyone holding the share link can open them. The endpoint that lists all shared workbooks is disabled.

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

An IronCalc setup normally means a server, a web front end, a database file, a domain and a certificate before the first workbook. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick IronCalc from the OneClick catalog. Choose a domain and target server; the install form has no fields to fill in.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We start the IronCalc 0.8.3 server and Caddy front end, both pinned by digest, mount ironcalc_data for the SQLite database and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Open The Editor
Open your URL and start a workbook. There is no administrator setup and no login. Download workbooks you want to keep as xlsx files, because unshared ones live only in your browser.

Everything IronCalc Does, On Your Own Server

IronCalc 0.8.3 runs here as a browser spreadsheet, with shared workbooks on a volume you own.

A Spreadsheet In The Browser
Create and edit workbooks in the browser, built on a modern spreadsheet engine written in Rust.
xlsx Import And Export
The engine includes an xlsx reader and writer, so you can bring workbooks in and download them out.
Workbooks Stay In Your Browser
Workbooks you create are kept in the browser that made them, and only the ones you share are uploaded to the server.
Share By Link
A shared workbook is stored on your server, and anyone holding its link can open that copy.
Listing Endpoint Disabled
The template switches off the upstream endpoint that would list every shared workbook to anyone.
No Accounts, No Login
IronCalc has no built-in authentication. Put your own access layer in front if the site should not be public.

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.

Can I run IronCalc in Docker?

Yes, and this template is IronCalc Docker hosting without the setup: the IronCalc 0.8.3 server and its Caddy front end, both pinned by digest, with SQLite on a persistent volume and HTTPS on your own domain.

How much RAM does IronCalc need?

IronCalc asks for 512 MB of memory, a single core and 2 GB of storage. It runs a Rust server and a small web front end. The 6 GB tier is where this page begins, with spare headroom above that.

Does IronCalc have user accounts or a login?

No. IronCalc has no accounts or built-in authentication, so anyone who can reach the site can open the editor and use its API. Put your own access layer, such as Basic Authentication, in front if that is not acceptable.

Where are IronCalc workbooks stored?

Workbooks you create live in your own browser's storage and nowhere else. Only workbooks you share are uploaded to the server, into SQLite on the ironcalc_data volume. Download unshared workbooks as xlsx files to keep a copy.

Who can open a shared IronCalc workbook?

Anyone holding its share link can open that copy. The template disables the upstream endpoint that would list every shared workbook, but avoid sharing sensitive workbooks, as upstream itself warns, and treat every link as public to whoever receives it.

Can IronCalc import and export xlsx files?

Yes. The IronCalc engine includes an xlsx reader and writer, so you can open spreadsheets from Excel format and download your work as xlsx. Upstream describes the project as work in progress, so check complex files.

Is IronCalc free?

Yes. IronCalc is dual-licensed under MIT or Apache-2.0, so using the software costs nothing. The dedicated Cloud VPS storing your shared workbooks is what you are billed for, an IronCalc cloud of your own. The project is work in progress, so check it against your needs before relying on it.

How do I back up IronCalc?

Back up the ironcalc_data volume, which holds the SQLite database of shared workbooks. Workbooks that were never shared live only in the browser that created them, so they are not on the server to back up. Nothing schedules this.

Backup and restore Docker apps

How do I upgrade IronCalc?

Your IronCalc stays on its pinned 0.8.3 images until you adopt a newer template version. Back up ironcalc_data first, then check the upstream notes, since upstream calls the project work in progress. Nothing upgrades itself, and a redeploy keeps the volume.

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.
