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

Self-hosting Locust normally means wiring up its web login, a domain, a certificate and a place to keep your test file before a single load test runs. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account, pick Locust from the OneClick catalog, choose a domain, and set the admin username (or keep the default admin).
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the pinned Locust 2.46.7 image with its web login enabled, generate the admin password, and publish the web UI over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Sign In And Start A Test
Open the HTTPS Locust URL and sign in. Enter the host to test, the number of users and the spawn rate, then start the test and watch the live charts.

Everything Locust Does, On Your Own Server

Locust runs in full here — the same Python-based load-testing tooling as any hosted load tester, on infrastructure you control.

Write Tests As Plain Python
Load tests are plain Python, run straight from the browser against any host you enter in the New Test form.
Live Charts While A Test Runs
Watch requests per second, response times and failures update live while a test is in progress.
Download Reports After A Run
Export request statistics as CSV and an HTML report once a test finishes.
Login Required From The First Request
There's no open web UI — sign in with the username set at install and the generated password before anything is visible.
Restart-Safe Test File
Your test file on the locust_data volume and the login survive an xCloud Restart; in-memory live results reset, as they do on any restart.

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.

I use Server Avatar and xCloud and I'll sooner use xCloud than Server Avatar personally.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

What is Locust?

Locust is an open-source load testing tool where tests are written as plain Python, with a web UI for starting, watching and stopping tests and live charts while they run. This template deploys version 2.46.7.

Is Locust free?

Yes. Locust is free and open source under the MIT License, per the upstream README. What you pay xCloud for is the dedicated server it runs on.

Does Locust have its own login?

Not out of the box. This template enables Locust's web login and supplies the login page, using the username and generated password from install.

Is it safe to share the login?

Share it only with trusted people. Anyone who signs in can aim load at any address the server can reach, including private ones, so test only systems you own or have permission to test. There's a single login with no roles and no lockout after failed attempts; Basic Auth at your own proxy is an optional extra layer.

What does xCloud configure automatically?

The Locust URL, the domain, HTTPS, Locust's web login (LOCUST_WEB_LOGIN=true), and the generated admin password.

How do I run my own test?

Copy your Python file to /home/locust/locustfile.py in the container and restart the site. The file is kept across restarts and never overwritten — a starter test that sends GET / to the host you enter is installed once and left alone otherwise.

Can I run distributed tests with workers?

Not with this template. It runs a single process that is both master and load generator, so very large tests need a larger server.

What should I back up?

The locust_data volume — it holds your locustfile.py test file, anything placed next to it, and --csv/--html output.

Backups in xCloud

Does xCloud automatically back up or update Locust?

No. The template pins Locust 2.46.7 by immutable digest; a catalog re-sync affects new installations only. To upgrade, bump the readable tag and digest together after reading the upstream release notes.

What are the server requirements?

The template manifest asks for 256 MB of RAM, 1 CPU core and 2 GB of disk as a floor. This page sells the 6 GB tier, comfortable headroom above that floor — usage during a test grows with the number of simulated users.

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.
