LibreTranslate Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Run your own machine translation API and web translator on your domain, powered by the open-source Argos Translate engine instead of a proprietary cloud service. xCloud handles managed HTTPS and keeps downloaded language models on persistent storage that survives every restart.

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

Self-hosting LibreTranslate normally means a Docker host, a domain, a certificate and a multi-gigabyte model download before the first translation. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

  1. Step 01

    Sign Up

    Create your xCloud account and pick LibreTranslate from the OneClick catalog. There are no install-form fields — just choose a domain.

  2. Step 02

    We Deploy It For You

    One click. We bring up the pinned LibreTranslate v1.9.6 image and publish it over HTTPS on your domain. The first start downloads language models, which can take several minutes.

  3. Step 03

    Start Translating

    Open the HTTPS URL — the translator is ready with no sign-in. To restrict access, set LT_API_KEYS=true in the environment editor and create an API key.

Everything LibreTranslate Does, On Your Own Server

LibreTranslate runs in full here — self-hosted translation with no data sent to a proprietary cloud, on infrastructure you control.

  • Self-Hosted Translation API

    Translations run on your server with the open-source Argos Translate engine, not a third-party cloud service.

  • Web Interface Plus API

    A web interface for ad-hoc translation, and an HTTP API for apps, scripts and workflows.

  • Automatic Language Detection

    Detect the source language automatically, or call the dedicated /detect endpoint directly.

  • Optional Access Control

    Turn on API keys and per-client request and character limits (LT_REQ_LIMIT, LT_CHAR_LIMIT) whenever you need them.

  • Load Only What You Need

    Use LT_LOAD_ONLY to load only the languages your app actually needs, keeping the footprint smaller.

  • Models Persist Across Restarts

    Downloaded language models and the API-key database live on persistent volumes — no re-download after a restart.

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.

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.

How is LibreTranslate different from Google Translate or DeepL APIs?

It is fully self-hosted and open source. Translation runs on your own server with the Argos Translate engine, not a proprietary cloud service. This template deploys version 1.9.6.

Do I need to sign in?

No. LibreTranslate has no admin account or admin panel. The web interface and API are open until you enable API keys.

How do I stop others from using my translation API?

Set LT_API_KEYS=true and redeploy, then create keys with the documented manage.py keys add command. You can also cap requests per minute and characters per request with LT_REQ_LIMIT and LT_CHAR_LIMIT.

Why does the first start take a few minutes?

LibreTranslate downloads its language models on first boot. They are stored on a persistent volume, so restarts do not download them again.

What should I back up?

The libretranslate_db volume (API keys, suggestions) and, to avoid a long re-download, the libretranslate_models volume.

What happens to files I upload for translation?

Uploaded files are temporary and cleaned up automatically after about 30 minutes — they are not part of the persistent volumes.

What are the server requirements?

The template manifest asks for 2 CPU cores, 2048 MB of RAM and 20 GB of disk. Measured peak use on QA was ~933 MB RAM, and the full model set takes ~10.3 GB of disk. This page sells the 6 GB tier.

Does xCloud automatically update LibreTranslate?

No. The image is pinned by immutable digest; a catalog re-sync affects new installations only. Set LT_UPDATE_MODELS=true to refresh models on the next boot after an intentional change.

What license does LibreTranslate use?

AGPL-3.0. If you modify it and offer it as a service, you must meet the license's source-offer and notice requirements.

Is xCloud officially partnered with LibreTranslate?

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