Managed VPS Hosting
Managed VPS Hosting We Run The Server
Managed VPS hosting from xCloud is your own cloud server that we set up, secure and keep patched, while you keep root access and run as many sites as it can carry. It suits developers, agencies and site owners who want VPS power without the server chores. Plans start at $5 a month.
Get started- Security updates installed for you
- Firewall and Fail2Ban from day one
- 24/7/365 support from real people

UNMANAGED VS MANAGED
What Changes When Your VPS Is Managed?
A bare VPS hands you a fresh Ubuntu install and every job after it. Here is who does what.
| A bare VPS: you do it | Managed VPS on xCloud |
|---|---|
| Install the web server, PHP and database by hand, then tune them. | The server is built with Nginx or OpenLiteSpeed, PHP and MySQL or MariaDB, ready for sites. |
| Write firewall rules and hope you did not lock yourself out. | Only SSH, HTTP and HTTPS are open at the start. Edit rules in Firewall Management, with a warning before risky ones. |
| Install something to block password-guessing bots. | Fail2Ban runs on every server. Ban or unban an IP address from the dashboard. |
| Log in every week to apply security updates. | Ubuntu security updates install automatically. Turn on Automatic Reboot to finish kernel updates at a time you choose. |
| Write and test your own backup scripts. | Schedule site backups to the server or your own storage, and add whole-server backups for 20% of the server price. |
| Set up your own graphs to see why the server is slow. | Monitoring shows RAM, CPU, disk and uptime, plus usage per site. Get an alert by email or Slack when the disk runs low. |
| Search forums when something breaks. | Ask our support team any time, day or night. |
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Everything A Managed VPS Should Include
The server, the setup and the upkeep are in the price. You still get the control of your own machine.
Root Access Kept
Connect over SSH with your own keys, or open a terminal in the browser. Nothing is locked away.
Unlimited Sites
A plan is a server, not a site. Host as many sites and apps as it has room for.
Free SSL, Renewed
Each site gets a free certificate once its domain points at the server, and it renews on its own.
Resize When You Grow
Move the server to a bigger plan with more CPU, RAM and storage from the dashboard.
Bring Sites Across
Move WordPress sites from another host, or every site on an Ubuntu server at once with Migrate Full Server.
Teams And Roles
Invite teammates or clients and choose what each one can see and change.

Every plan above includes the server. Provisioning, OS and stack patching, daily backups, free SSL, the xCloud panel and 24/7 support all come with it, on one bill from xCloud — there is no separate hosting invoice to add. See how this compares with the rest of xCloud pricing.
Premium servers are powered by High-Frequency 3GHz+ Intel Xeon CPUs, lightning-fast memory, and NVMe storage, delivering unmatched speed and performance. General servers, on the other hand, offer a budget-friendly solution for standard workloads.

With self-managed you pay your own cloud provider for the server. xCloud charges a management fee per connected server per month, which drops as you connect more servers.
Moving From An Unmanaged VPS Or Another Host?
Move your WordPress sites to a managed server with the built-in migration tool, one site at a time or a whole server at once. No rebuilding a server by hand.
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 GeovannyI'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 PinedaI'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
Leo KooHow Cloud Nine Web Elevated Client Experience While Streamlining Hosting Operations using xCloud
Ed EllinghamxCloud 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 ButucelxCloud isn't just a solution. It's like one of that friend who got your back when you screw things up pretty bad.
Waqar AhmedTrust 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 SinghSo 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 VillaCame from cloudways then to runcloud then to xcloud. Looks like I'm staying here.
Gerson ElI'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 LewisI came from Cloudways and won't go back. Highly impressed with xCloud. Glad I gave them a chance.
Jared McDowellI 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
David McCanHow Kevin Heinrichs Cut Hosting Costs by 84% While Running WooCommerce & Node.js Sites Efficiently
Kevin HeinrichsI had 150 sites on cloudways and am in the process of moving them to xcloud. Much faster and better priced.
Dan SpinozaDear 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 MaknojiaCame from runcloud. Tried xcloud and never came back.
Karl FanegaHow Advanced Web Strategies Saved Over $2,000 & Recovered 56 Hours per Month Managing 70+ Client Websites
Gary MoodyxCloud 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.
Jorge de los Reyes MartínezI use Server Avatar and xCloud and I'll sooner use xCloud than Server Avatar personally.
Jay PaganoHow Newman Web Solutions Ensured Perfect Uptime and Seamless Scaling For 120+ WordPress Sites with xCloud
Lori NewmanI too have moved over to xCloud. It's pretty sweet. One click n8n and uptime Kuma apps
John ApertureI went from Cloudways to xCloud. No intention on switching in the foreseeable future.
Blaine MooreFrequently Asked Questions
Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have
What is managed VPS hosting?
It is a virtual private server that a hosting company sets up, secures and keeps up to date for you. On xCloud, you get your own server with root access, and xCloud handles the server setup, the firewall, Fail2Ban and security updates. You look after your sites and apps.
What is the difference between managed and unmanaged VPS hosting?
With an unmanaged VPS you get a bare operating system and do everything else yourself: install the web server and database, write firewall rules, apply updates and set up backups. A managed VPS comes ready for sites, and the upkeep is done for you.
Do I still get root access on a managed VPS?
Yes. Add your SSH keys and connect as root or a sudo user, or open a terminal in the browser. Managed means the setup and upkeep are done for you, not that the server is locked.
What does xCloud not manage?
Your own code and content. xCloud keeps the server, its security and its updates in shape, but it does not edit your application or your site's plugins and themes. Updates for PHP, MySQL, MariaDB, Redis and Node.js install automatically only after you turn on Managed Service Updates on the server's Security Update page. It is off by default.
Are backups included?
Site backups are part of every server: schedule them to the server itself and to up to two storage providers of your own, such as an S3-compatible bucket. Whole-server backups are an option on managed servers for an extra 20% of the server price.
How much does managed VPS hosting cost on xCloud?
Managed servers start at $5 a month for 1 GB RAM, 1 vCPU and 25 GB SSD, and go up to 64 GB RAM. You pay for the server, not per site. If you already have a VPS at another provider, you can connect it as a self-managed server instead.
Can I change regions later?
No. A server's region is fixed once it is created. To move, create a server in the new region and move your sites with Clone Site or a full server migration.
