KeyDB Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy KeyDB hosting and give your apps a drop-in Redis endpoint on your own server. xCloud runs the pinned KeyDB v6.3.4 image as a single container, generates a 32-character password, keeps the data on a persistent volume with append-only persistence, and shows the connection string, host, port and password the moment it is ready.

What is KeyDB?

KeyDB is an open-source, in-memory database that speaks the Redis protocol. It began as a fork of Redis and is built around a multithreaded design, with the aim of higher throughput and better memory efficiency on a single node.

Because it is compatible with Redis clients, libraries and redis-cli, it works as a drop-in endpoint for caching, queues, sessions, pub/sub and key-value workloads. Upstream also documents extras such as Active Replication and non-blocking KEYS and SCAN.

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

Running KeyDB yourself means a container, a password, a persistence setup and a published port before the first command. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick KeyDB from the OneClick catalog, then choose your server. There are no extra fields to fill in — the password is generated for you.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We start the official KeyDB image, pinned by immutable digest, as a single container with the keydb_data volume mounted at /data, append-only persistence turned on and a generated 32-character password. KeyDB is a headless data service, so there is no domain or HTTPS: it is published on an xCloud-assigned server port.
Step 03
Connect Your App
Copy the connection string, host, port and password from your installation credentials, allow only your application servers in the server firewall, and test with redis-cli -h <host> -p <port> -a <password> ping.

Everything KeyDB Does, On Your Own Server

KeyDB runs in full here: a Redis-protocol database your applications connect to directly, with the data on a volume you control.

Redis Protocol Compatibility
Existing Redis clients, libraries and redis-cli connect unchanged, so moving an app over is a connection-string change.
Multithreaded Design
KeyDB is a Redis fork built around multithreading, aimed at higher throughput and better memory efficiency, according to upstream.
Cache, Queue And Pub/Sub
Use one instance as an application cache, a job queue backend, a session store, a pub/sub broker or a plain key-value store.
Password Required From Start
Authentication is on at first start. In QA, commands without a password returned NOAUTH and a wrong password returned WRONGPASS.
Durable Persistence
The append-only file (fsync every second) and RDB snapshots live on the keydb_data volume, and QA confirmed keys reloaded after a container restart.
Active Replication Support
Upstream documents Active Replication and non-blocking KEYS and SCAN as KeyDB features; this template deploys a single instance.

What You Can Do With KeyDB

Cache for a busy application
Keep hot query results and rendered fragments in memory so your primary database serves fewer repeated reads.
Job and queue backend
Point a Redis-based queue library at the instance to hand background work from web processes to workers.
Session store
Hold login sessions in one place so several app servers share them, with data kept across restarts on the persistent volume.
Pub/sub messaging
Fan out events between services over the Redis pub/sub commands without adding a separate broker.
Plain key-value storage
Store small records and counters by key with the append-only file keeping them across restarts.

KeyDB vs Alternatives

Redis: The project KeyDB forked from. KeyDB keeps protocol compatibility and adds multithreading; this is the same kind of single-container data service.
Valkey: A community-governed, Redis-compatible key-value store, also available as a OneClick app, if you prefer a different upstream project.
Amazon ElastiCache: A hosted Redis-compatible cache billed by the cloud provider. KeyDB on xCloud runs on a server you own, with the data on your own volume.
Memcached: A simple in-memory cache without persistence, data types or pub/sub. KeyDB adds Redis data structures and durable storage.

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.

Is KeyDB compatible with Redis?

Yes. KeyDB maintains compatibility with the Redis protocol, so Redis clients and libraries connect without changes.

How is KeyDB different from Redis?

KeyDB is a Redis fork focused on multithreading, memory efficiency and high throughput, and upstream documents extras such as Active Replication and non-blocking KEYS and SCAN. This template runs a single instance.

How do I connect to it?

Use the connection string, host, port and password shown in your installation credentials, in the form redis://:<password>@<host>:<port>/0, with any Redis-compatible client. To test, run redis-cli -h <host> -p <port> -a <password> ping.

Does KeyDB have a web interface or HTTPS?

No. KeyDB is a headless data service. Its client port is published on an xCloud-assigned server port over the Redis protocol, with no domain or HTTPS.

Is it exposed to the internet?

The port is published so remote apps can connect, and a password is required, but the Redis protocol is not encrypted. Allow only your application servers' IPs in the server firewall.

Configure the server firewall

Is my data kept after a restart?

Yes. The append-only file and RDB snapshots are written to the keydb_data volume, and QA confirmed keys were still there after a container restart.

What should I back up?

The keydb_data volume, plus the generated password and port from your credentials. For a point-in-time snapshot, run BGSAVE and copy the resulting RDB file from the volume.

Backups in xCloud

Who can see the password?

The password is passed to the server at startup and is hidden from process listings and logs, but it is visible to root on the server via docker inspect. Keep it secret and rotate it if it is exposed.

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 6 MiB. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, which leaves room for the data you cache in memory.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update KeyDB?

No. The template pins KeyDB v6.3.4 by immutable digest; existing sites are not upgraded automatically. To upgrade, read the KeyDB release notes and change the image tag and digest together. Server-level backups and snapshots are available on every Cloud VPS.

Is xCloud officially partnered with KeyDB?

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