IT Tools Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

IT Tools hosting gives you the developer toolbox on your own domain, with nothing to build: deploy IT Tools from the OneClick catalog and xCloud serves the pinned image over HTTPS. Your team gets self-hosted developer tools for hashing, encoding and converting data, and most of the processing happens in the visitor's browser rather than on a third-party site or on your server.

What is IT Tools?

Self-hosted IT Tools is a developer utility collection: one web app that gathers encoders, formatters, converters, text tools, networking helpers and cryptographic utilities in a single page. It is aimed at the small jobs developers and operators otherwise do on hosted sites such as CodeBeautify. It is licensed under GPL-3.0 and upstream documents a Docker image for running it on your own server.

On xCloud the template runs the corentinth/it-tools image at release 2024.10.22-7ca5933, pinned by digest, as one container behind xCloud nginx on your domain with HTTPS. It has no database, no volume and no install-form fields. Because IT Tools has no built-in sign-in, anyone who can reach the URL can load it, so restrict it with Basic Authentication or IP Management if needed.

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

IT Tools is a static web app, so the work is a container, a domain and a certificate. This gets you all three without writing an nginx config or a compose file.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick IT Tools from the OneClick catalog. Choose a domain and a target server; the install form has no other fields.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We start corentinth/it-tools at release 2024.10.22-7ca5933, pinned by digest, as a single container behind xCloud nginx and publish it over HTTPS. There is no database and no volume to provision.
Step 03
Run Your First Hash
Open your HTTPS URL, choose Hash text, type any string and pick SHA-256. The result changes as you type — your first working check, with no account or setup wizard in the way.

Everything IT Tools Does, On Your Own Server

The utilities of the pinned 2024.10.22-7ca5933 release run here, served from a domain you control and a server you rent.

Encoders And Decoders
Convert text to and from common encodings in the page itself, so a quick Base64 or URL check never leaves your own domain.
Hash Text
Enter text, choose SHA-256 and the digest changes as the input does. The template README uses this as its first functional check.
Converters And Formatters
Reformat and convert structured text between formats without pasting a config or payload into a third-party site.
Networking Helpers
Small utilities for the lookups and calculations operators do daily, grouped with the other tools in one searchable collection.
Cryptographic Utilities
Generators and crypto helpers sit alongside the hashing tool, handy for throwaway test values during development.
A Stateless Server
The server only delivers a prebuilt static app. Browser-local preferences stay in each user's browser profile, not on your VPS.

What You Can Do With IT Tools

Offline developer utilities? Most run in your browser
Hashing, encoding and converting happen mostly in the browser once the page has loaded. The page itself is still served from your VPS, so the instance must be reachable. Teams stop pasting tokens and payloads into outside sites.
Give the whole team one bookmarked toolbox
Put IT Tools on a domain such as tools.yourcompany.com and share one URL. Everyone gets the same set of utilities, and you pick when the pinned version changes.
Keep the toolbox private behind a login
IT Tools has no accounts of its own. Turn on xCloud Basic Authentication or IP Management and only your colleagues, or your office network, can open the toolbox.
Run a quick check during an incident
An on-call engineer can decode a value, hash a string or convert a format in the page, without installing anything or finding a trustworthy site at two in the morning.

IT Tools vs Alternatives

CodeBeautify: A hosted site for developer formatters and converters. IT Tools collects encoders, converters, formatters and hashing in one app you run on your own domain, with the image pinned to a release you choose.
CyberChef: CyberChef has its own xCloud page. IT Tools takes the many-small-utilities approach: each tool, from Hash text to the IPv4 subnet calculator, is a separate page in one searchable collection, served as a stateless static app.
OmniTools: OmniTools has its own xCloud page. IT Tools leans toward developer and operator helpers: encoders, formatters, converters, networking utilities such as the IPv4 subnet calculator, and cryptographic tools like the token generator.
ConvertX: ConvertX has its own xCloud page. IT Tools works on text-level data such as JSON, YAML and Base64 strings, mostly in the browser, and has no sign-in, so access control comes from xCloud Basic Authentication.

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.

Does IT Tools send my data to a server?

Most utility processing happens in the browser, per the template README, so input does not normally travel to the server. The server only delivers the static app. Nothing is stored for you: there is no database or volume behind it.

Which tools are in IT Tools?

Encoders and decoders, formatters, converters, text tools, networking helpers and cryptographic utilities, according to the template README. Hash text is the one used as the functional check. The full list grows with upstream releases; this template stays on 2024.10.22-7ca5933.

IT Tools vs CyberChef: what is the difference?

IT Tools is a set of many separate utilities, each on its own page, including networking helpers such as the IPv4 subnet calculator and generators for tokens and UUIDs. CyberChef has its own xCloud page, and both run as stateless apps on your own domain.

CyberChef hosting

Does IT Tools need a database?

No. The template declares no database and no volume; the container serves a prebuilt static application. That is why the manifest floor is only 256 MB of RAM and there is nothing server-side to restore after a redeploy.

Can I self-host IT Tools with Docker?

Yes. Upstream documents a Docker image, and this IT Tools Docker hosting template runs it: corentinth/it-tools pinned by digest, behind xCloud nginx. The it-tools docker run command, reverse proxy and certificate are all handled for your domain.

Docker hosting

How much RAM does IT Tools need?

The manifest asks for 256 MB of RAM, 1 CPU core and 1 GB of disk. Actual use is light because nginx serves a prebuilt static app. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, which leaves a lot of headroom for other apps beside it.

How do I update IT Tools?

Not automatically. The image is pinned to release 2024.10.22-7ca5933 by digest, and a future template update must pin a new release. Existing sites stay on their installation snapshot until an explicit upgrade moves them to a newer template version.

Is IT Tools free and open source?

Yes. IT Tools is open source under the GNU GPL v3.0 at the pinned release, so you can run it without a licence fee. Your xCloud bill covers the server it runs on. Keep upstream's copyright and licence notices if you redistribute the image.

Who owns the data stored in IT Tools?

You do, though little is stored. The server keeps no user data. Any preferences or history a tool saves belong to the user's own browser profile. Your server and domain are yours, and xCloud only runs the deployment.

What should I back up for IT Tools?

Nothing from the app: the template declares no persistent volume, no database and no generated credentials. Keep your domain and any Basic Authentication settings noted. Server-level backups and snapshots on the Cloud VPS cover the rest.

Backups in xCloud

Is IT Tools cloud hosting public by default?

Yes. IT Tools has no built-in sign-in, so anyone with the URL can load it. On a Cloud VPS from xCloud, add Basic Authentication or IP Management and the toolbox is reachable only by the people or networks you allow.

Enable Basic Authentication

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.
