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

Standing up a spreadsheet-style front end for PostgreSQL normally means a database container, an app container, a static-asset gateway, a domain and a certificate before a single table is created. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

  1. Step 01

    Sign Up

    Create your xCloud account and pick Mathesar from the OneClick catalog. Enter a site title and choose a domain — there is no other application-specific input required.

  2. Step 02

    We Deploy It For You

    One click. We bring up the official Mathesar 0.12.0 image alongside its Caddy static/media gateway and a PostgreSQL 17 database — all three pinned by immutable digest — generate a private database and a Django secret key, mount the PostgreSQL, media, static and secrets volumes, and publish Mathesar over HTTPS on your domain.

  3. Step 03

    Create Your Administrator And A Table

    Open your HTTPS URL and complete Mathesar's own first-user administrator setup flow. Create or connect a database, then create a table or import a CSV file to confirm the workspace reads and writes correctly.

Everything Mathesar Does, On Your Own Server

Mathesar runs in full here — table editing, CSV import and PostgreSQL data modeling, on infrastructure you control.

  • Spreadsheet-Style Table Editing

    Browse, filter and edit PostgreSQL rows through Mathesar's grid interface instead of a raw SQL console.

  • CSV Import

    Import CSV and TSV files straight into a PostgreSQL table, stored on the dedicated media volume.

  • Data Modeling And Filtering

    Model relationships between tables and filter records without hand-writing joins or WHERE clauses.

  • Permissions

    Control who can view and edit which databases and tables from inside Mathesar's own interface.

  • Collected Static Assets And Media

    Application assets and uploaded import files are served from their own persistent volumes through the bundled Caddy gateway.

  • Private PostgreSQL, Not Exposed To The Internet

    PostgreSQL stays on the internal network — only Mathesar's own web application is published over HTTPS.

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.

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.

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

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

What is Mathesar?

Mathesar is a free, open-source, self-hosted spreadsheet-like interface for PostgreSQL — table editing, CSV import, filtering, permissions and data modeling for teams that would rather not write SQL for every change. This template deploys version 0.12.0.

Is Mathesar free?

Yes — it is free and open source under the GNU General Public License v3 (GPL-3.0). What you pay xCloud for is the dedicated server it runs on and the management around it, not the application itself.

Can I self-host Mathesar?

Yes — that is exactly what this template deploys. It brings up the official Mathesar image alongside a private PostgreSQL database and Mathesar's own Caddy static/media gateway, all three pinned by immutable digest, mounts its four persistent volumes and publishes it over HTTPS on your domain in minutes instead of assembled by hand.

How do I sign in and create an administrator?

There is no default administrator account and no generated password for Mathesar itself. Open your HTTPS URL after installation and complete Mathesar's own supported first-user setup flow to create the administrator.

What does xCloud configure automatically?

A private PostgreSQL database with a generated name, user and password, a Django secret key, all four persistent volumes, the domain and the HTTPS route. Only Mathesar's web application and its static/media gateway are published through xCloud-managed HTTPS — PostgreSQL stays private to the internal network.

How do I rotate the PostgreSQL password?

Not by editing xCloud's environment value alone. Change the role password inside PostgreSQL first, then update the matching POSTGRES_PASSWORD value in xCloud's Environment editor to the same password, then redeploy. Changing the xCloud value first, without changing PostgreSQL, breaks the connection.

How do I import data?

From inside Mathesar, import a CSV or TSV file into a new or existing table. Imported files are stored on the mathesar_media volume alongside the database rows they created.

What should I back up?

mathesar_postgres_data, mathesar_media, mathesar_static and mathesar_secrets together, from the same maintenance window. A database-only snapshot is not a complete Mathesar backup because imported files, collected assets and Mathesar's own application secret state live outside PostgreSQL.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update Mathesar?

No. The template pins Mathesar, its Caddy gateway and PostgreSQL by immutable digest; a catalog re-sync affects new installations only. Review Mathesar release notes, take a coordinated backup of all four volumes, then verify administrator sign-in, representative table data and a restart before changing any pinned image.

What are the server requirements?

The template manifest asks for 2 GB of RAM, two CPU cores and 10 GB of disk as a floor — running Mathesar alongside PostgreSQL and the static/media gateway. This page sells the 6 GB tier, comfortable headroom above that floor, with extra disk useful as your PostgreSQL data and imported files grow.

What survives a restart?

Everything on mathesar_postgres_data, mathesar_media, mathesar_static and mathesar_secrets, because all four are persistent named volumes. Restarting the containers does not touch your databases, imported files or application secret state.

Is SSO or the Django admin enabled?

No. This template ships with the Django admin surface disabled and SSO/OIDC left unconfigured. Those are Mathesar's own optional features, not something this template turns on for you.

Is xCloud officially partnered with Mathesar?

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