KeyDB Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

KeyDB hosting on xCloud gives your apps a self-hosted Redis-compatible database that keeps data in memory, for caching, queues, pub/sub and key-value work. Deploy KeyDB from the OneClick catalog and xCloud starts the pinned v6.3.4 image as one container, generates a password, mounts a persistent volume with append-only persistence and publishes the port on your server address. It has no web interface and no TLS, so restrict the port with your firewall.

What is KeyDB?

KeyDB is, in its README's words, a high performance fork of Redis with a focus on multithreading, memory efficiency and high throughput, and it maintains full compatibility with the Redis protocol, modules and scripts. It adds features such as Active Replication, FLASH storage and subkey expires. The KeyDB team maintains it as part of Snap Inc, which says there is no separate commercial product and no paid support. Self-hosted KeyDB is a database you run yourself instead of a hosted cache such as Amazon ElastiCache. It is licensed under BSD-3-Clause.

In this xCloud template, you get KeyDB v6.3.4, pinned by digest, as one container and a data service with no domain, HTTPS or web interface. Clients connect to the server address and port with a generated password. Data sits on the keydb_data volume, with append-only persistence alongside default RDB snapshots. The port is reachable from outside, and no TLS is configured.

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 starts with 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 web app
Your app stores sessions and query results in KeyDB with expiry, so repeated requests skip slower databases.
Run job queues
Workers pull jobs from Redis-style lists or streams that KeyDB serves over the same protocol.
Use pub/sub messaging
Services publish events to channels and others subscribe, using familiar Redis commands.
Swap in a Redis-compatible server
A team that already uses Redis clients points them at KeyDB, then checks that its commands and modules behave the same.

KeyDB vs Alternatives

Redis: Redis is the original server whose protocol KeyDB implements, with its own OneClick page. KeyDB is a fork that keeps protocol compatibility, and this page makes no performance comparison.
Valkey: Valkey is another Redis-compatible server with its own OneClick page. KeyDB is the multithreaded Redis fork maintained by Snap Inc, deployed here as a single instance.
Amazon ElastiCache: Amazon ElastiCache is a hosted cache service on AWS. KeyDB here is one self-hosted container on a server you rent, without clustering.
Memcached: Memcached is a separate open-source key-value cache. KeyDB speaks the Redis protocol, and this template adds on-disk persistence, with lists and pub/sub available.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.

Is KeyDB free?

Yes. KeyDB is open source under BSD-3-Clause, and you can read the licence at the pinned v6.3.4 tag linked on this page. xCloud bills for the Cloud VPS under it, not for KeyDB, and there is no per-operation fee. Upstream says there is no separate commercial product and no paid support.

Can you self-host KeyDB with Docker?

Yes, and this KeyDB Docker hosting template does it for you: the eqalpha/keydb image, pinned by digest to the v6.3.4 release, runs as one container on your own server with its port published. It is not a KeyDB cloud account, so your data stays on your server.

How much RAM does KeyDB need?

Per its manifest, KeyDB needs at least 256 MB of RAM, but an in-memory database needs RAM for the data it holds, so size it to your dataset. The 6 GB tier here leaves a very wide margin.

Is KeyDB compatible with Redis?

Upstream says KeyDB maintains full compatibility with the Redis protocol, modules and scripts, so Redis clients connect to it. This page makes no performance claim and does not test every command or module, so try your own client library and workload before you rely on it.

How do I connect to KeyDB?

Use the displayed connection details with any Redis-compatible client, for example redis-cli with the host, port and the generated password. The password is applied each time the container starts. There is no TLS, so keep clients on a trusted network or tunnel the connection.

Does KeyDB have a web interface or HTTPS?

No. KeyDB is a data service with no domain, no web UI and no HTTPS. Clients connect straight to the server address and the published port over the Redis protocol. Use a command-line client or your application's library to manage keys and inspect data.

Is KeyDB exposed to the internet?

Yes, the port is published on all interfaces so remote apps can connect, and a password is required. xCloud does not restrict it for you, so use your server firewall to allow only trusted client addresses, as described in the firewall guide.

Configure firewall management

Is my KeyDB data kept after a restart?

Yes. The data directory sits on the persistent keydb_data volume with append-only persistence enabled alongside default RDB snapshots, so keys survive a restart. An in-memory database can still lose the last moments of writes in a crash, so do not treat it as a system of record.

Who can see the KeyDB password?

Anyone with access to your xCloud credentials panel, and anyone who can read the client URI or environment file. Treat the password like a database credential and keep it out of logs and repositories. KeyDB enables authentication with it each time the container starts.

How do I back up KeyDB?

Back up the keydb_data volume to preserve the database files, or run a BGSAVE with the keydb-cli tool inside the container to write an RDB snapshot into the volume. Copy the files off the server and test a restore on a disposable install.

Backup and restore Docker apps

How do I upgrade KeyDB?

The pinned v6.3.4 image on your live install is left untouched by the catalog until you adopt a newer template version. Back up the volume first and read the upstream release notes, then connect with a client and check that your keys and commands still work.

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.
