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

Self-hosting Kavita normally means a Docker host, a domain, a certificate and racing to claim the admin account before anyone else. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

  1. Step 01

    Sign Up

    Create your xCloud account and pick Kavita from the OneClick catalog. Just choose a domain and server — no other fields.

  2. Step 02

    We Deploy It For You

    One click. We bring up the pinned Kavita 0.9.1 image and publish it over HTTPS on your domain, with persistent storage ready for your library.

  3. Step 03

    Register And Add A Library

    Open the HTTPS URL right away and register — the first account becomes the administrator. Add a library pointing at /media, then run a scan.

Everything Kavita Does, On Your Own Server

Kavita runs in full here — manga, comics and ebooks in one library, on infrastructure you control.

  • Every Format In One Library

    Serve manga, webtoons and comics (cbr, cbz, zip/rar/rar5, 7zip, raw images) and books (epub, pdf) from one place.

  • Responsive Web Readers

    Read in the browser on any device, including dedicated webtoon and continuous reading modes.

  • Collections And Smart Filters

    Organise with collections, reading lists (CBL import), Want to Read, smart filters and rich metadata search.

  • Share With Friends And Family

    Role-based users and age restrictions let you share your collection safely, without giving everyone admin access.

  • First Account Becomes Admin

    Register the moment your server is live — the first account claims the administrator role, and self-registration is refused after that.

  • Survives A Restart

    Users, settings, libraries, series and reading lists all survive an xCloud Restart — verified on QA.

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.
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

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.

What file formats does Kavita support?

Comics and manga as cbr, cbz, zip/rar/rar5, 7zip and raw images; books as epub and pdf. This template deploys Kavita 0.9.1.

How do I sign in the first time?

Open your Kavita URL and register right away. The first registered account becomes the administrator, and you can then invite or create other users.

Where do my books go?

Into the persistent /media volume. Create a library pointing at /media (or a subfolder) and run a scan to import your files.

Does anything else run alongside Kavita?

No. It is a single container with its own embedded database — nothing separate to manage.

What should I back up?

Both named volumes: kavita_config (users, settings, database) and kavita_media (your files). For a consistent copy, stop Kavita first, then restore both to their original mount paths.

Why does the administrator race matter?

Until an administrator exists, anyone who reaches the URL can register and take that role. Register your own account the moment the server is live.

How big can uploads be?

Kavita's upload endpoints accept files up to 30 MB. Place larger collections directly in the /media library volume and import them through a library scan.

What are the server requirements?

The template manifest asks for 1 CPU core, 1024 MB of RAM and 10 GB of disk. Measured peak use on QA with a small library was ~434 MiB — larger libraries need more for scans. This page sells the 6 GB tier.

Does xCloud automatically update Kavita?

No. The image is pinned by immutable digest; a catalog re-sync affects new installations only. Kavita describes itself as beta until 1.0.0 — keep regular off-server backups regardless.

Is xCloud officially partnered with Kavita?

No. No official partnership or endorsement has been verified. This is a deployment and server-management option for the open-source Kavita project, not an official offering.

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.
