MaxKB Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy MaxKB hosting and turn your documents into a chat assistant you control. xCloud runs the pinned MaxKB v2.10.5-lts container with its bundled PostgreSQL and Redis kept private, initialises the admin account from the password you choose at install, mounts the persistent maxkb_data volume and publishes the web interface over HTTPS in minutes — you add your own LLM and embedding provider inside MaxKB.

What is MaxKB?

MaxKB is an open-source platform for building AI agents and retrieval-augmented knowledge bases. You add documents to a knowledge base, connect a large language model and an embedding model, and create an agent that answers questions from that content.

Self-hosting it keeps your documents, models configuration and conversations on a server you control. MaxKB is released under the GPL-3.0 licence.

From Sign-Up to a Live Knowledge Base In Just 3 Easy Steps

A self-hosted RAG platform normally means an application, a database, a cache, a data volume, a domain and a certificate before the first document is indexed. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick MaxKB from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and server, then enter an Administrator Password of 12 to 20 characters with letters, a number and a special character.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We start the official MaxKB container, pinned by immutable digest, with PostgreSQL and Redis running privately inside it, mount the maxkb_data volume, create the admin account from your password and publish port 8080 over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Add A Model And Build An Agent
Open your HTTPS MaxKB URL and sign in as admin with the password shown in the protected install credentials. Add an LLM and an embedding model, create a knowledge base from your documents, then create and publish an agent.

Everything MaxKB Does, On Your Own Server

MaxKB runs in full here: a knowledge-base and agent builder on your own domain, with documents and conversations kept on your server.

Knowledge Bases From Your Documents
Turn documents into a searchable knowledge base that an agent can answer questions from.
Agents You Can Publish
Create an agent on top of a knowledge base and publish it with its own chat link for teammates or customers.
Your Choice Of Model Provider
Connect an LLM and an embedding provider from inside MaxKB. The template does not manage provider credentials; OpenAI chat and embedding models were verified.
Chat With Your Content
Ask questions in the agent chat and get answers grounded in the documents you added.
Bundled PostgreSQL And Redis
Both run inside the application container and are not exposed outside it, so there is no separate database to provision.
Admin Account Set At Install
The built-in admin account is initialised from the password you choose at install, and unauthenticated API calls are rejected.

Everything You Need To Run Your Knowledge Base 24/7

Managed hosting for MaxKB, so the parts that keep it online are not your problem.

What You Can Do With MaxKB

Answer questions from your own documents
Load manuals, policies or notes into a knowledge base and let people ask questions in chat instead of searching files.
Give customers or teammates a chat link
Publish an agent with its own chat link so others can use it without access to the admin interface.
Use the model provider you prefer
Connect the LLM and embedding provider of your choice from inside MaxKB and change them as your needs change.
Keep content on your own server
Run the knowledge base on a server you control so documents and conversations are stored there.

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.

How do I sign in?

Use the username admin and the Administrator Password you chose at install. It is also shown in the protected installation credentials.

Which AI models can I use?

You add them inside MaxKB; the template does not manage provider credentials. OpenAI chat and embedding models were verified.

What runs alongside MaxKB?

PostgreSQL and Redis run inside the same container and are not reachable from outside. Only the MaxKB web interface on port 8080 is published, through xCloud-managed HTTPS.

Does MaxKB include a language model?

No. You connect an LLM and an embedding provider of your choice from inside MaxKB, and provider API keys are stored by MaxKB.

What happens if I change the install password later?

The password only initialises the admin account on first start, so editing the value later does not change the existing account password. Rotate it from inside MaxKB after signing in.

Why am I asked for a captcha after a failed sign-in?

After a failed sign-in MaxKB asks for a captcha on the next attempt. That is upstream behaviour.

What should I back up?

The maxkb_data volume, as one unit, because it holds the application data and the bundled PostgreSQL data. Quiesce the app first. Remove provider API keys from MaxKB if you no longer need them.

Backups in xCloud

What survives a restart?

Models, knowledge bases, documents and agents survived an xCloud Restart in QA, because they live on the persistent maxkb_data volume.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update MaxKB?

No. The template pins MaxKB v2.10.5-lts by immutable digest; new installations use the pinned release, existing sites are not automatically upgraded. Back up first, read the upstream release notes, then bump the readable tag and digest together on your own schedule. Server-level backups and snapshots are available on every Cloud VPS.

What are the server requirements, and why does this page sell 16 GB?

The template's baseline asks for 4 CPU cores, 8192 MB of RAM and 30 GB of disk; measured use in QA was about 2.2 to 2.8 GiB. Because the baseline is above 4 GB, this page sells the 16 GB tier, with headroom above it.

Is xCloud officially partnered with MaxKB?

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