Medama Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy Medama hosting and measure your websites without cookies, on a server you control. xCloud runs the pinned Medama v0.6.2 image behind HTTPS on your own domain, replaces Medama's well-known default admin password with a generated one and keeps both databases on a persistent volume. There is no external database to set up and no registration page for strangers.

What is Medama?

Medama is cookie-free, privacy-focused website analytics. It runs as one self-contained process with embedded databases: SQLite for accounts and settings and DuckDB for page views. You add a website in the dashboard, copy its tracking snippet into your site and read the reports. The code is under the Apache-2.0 licence, with the tracker script under MIT.

On xCloud it is Medama v0.6.2 as the official image, pinned by digest, with a generated admin password and one persistent volume. The dashboard and reports need the admin login, and there is no open registration. The tracker script and event endpoint stay public on purpose, so visitors' browsers can report page views.

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

A self-hosted analytics tool normally means a container, a place for its data, a first-login password you must remember to change, a domain and a certificate before the first page view. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Medama from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server; there are no extra fields to fill in.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We start the official Medama image, pinned by digest, mount the medama_data volume for the app and analytics databases, replace the default admin password with a generated 24-character one and publish it over HTTPS. A small health-check container runs beside it with no ports and no data.
Step 03
Sign In And Add A Website
Save the Admin password from the credentials card and sign in as admin at your HTTPS Medama URL. Add your first website, then paste its tracking snippet into that site. The snippet loads the tracker script from your own domain.

Everything Medama Does, On Your Own Server

Medama runs in full here: a cookie-free analytics dashboard and tracker on your own domain, with the data kept on a volume you own.

Cookie-Free Analytics
Medama is privacy-focused website analytics that measures your sites without cookies.
One Process, Embedded Databases
SQLite holds accounts and settings and DuckDB holds page views, both inside the same process, so there is no separate database to run.
Your Own Tracking Snippet
Add a website in the dashboard and copy its snippet into the site you want to measure. The tracker script is served from your own domain.
A Generated Admin Password
Medama starts with a well-known admin password. Setup replaces it with a generated one, and the install refuses the default.
Dashboard Behind A Login
Reports need the admin login and there is no open registration. Only the tracker script and event endpoint are public, so visitors' browsers can report page views.
Data That Survives A Restart
Your websites and the admin password stay in place after an xCloud Restart, because both databases live on a persistent volume.

Umami: Umami has its own OneClick page. In a Medama vs Umami comparison, Medama runs as one process with embedded databases instead of using a separate database server.
Plausible Analytics: Plausible Analytics has its own OneClick page. Compare the reports each gives you; Medama is a single process with its data in embedded databases.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Can I run Medama in Docker?

Yes, and this template is Medama Docker hosting without the setup: the official Medama v0.6.2 image pinned by digest, a persistent volume, a generated admin password and HTTPS on your own domain.

How much RAM does Medama need?

The template baseline is 256 MB of RAM, 1 CPU core and 2 GB of disk. The 6 GB plan is the starting point here, well above that baseline.

How do I sign in to Medama?

Use the username admin and the Admin password from the credentials card. Medama starts with a well-known default password; setup replaces it with a generated 24-character one, and the default is rejected.

What runs alongside Medama?

Only a small health-check container with no published ports, no volume and no data. Medama itself keeps its data in embedded databases, so there is no separate database server.

Is the Medama dashboard public?

No. The dashboard and reports need the admin login, and there is no open registration. Only the tracker script and event endpoint are open, so visitors' browsers can report page views.

How do I change the admin password?

Change it inside Medama under Settings. The password in the Environment editor was applied once at install, so editing it there does not change the account, and the credentials card keeps showing the install-time value.

Do I have to sign in again after a restart?

Yes. Sign-ins end whenever Medama restarts, so sign in again after a restart or redeploy. Your websites and the admin password are kept.

Is Medama free?

Yes. Medama is open source under the Apache-2.0 licence, with the tracker script under MIT, so the software has no licence fee. You are billed only for the dedicated Cloud VPS that runs it.

How do I back up Medama?

Back up the medama_data volume, which holds both the app database and the analytics database. Stop the container before copying so the files are consistent, and keep copies off the server. Nothing schedules the copy, so run it yourself.

Backup and restore Docker apps

How do I upgrade Medama?

The install stays on its pinned v0.6.2 image until you adopt a newer template version. Read the upstream release notes and back up medama_data first. Existing sites are never upgraded automatically.

What happens if I change the domain?

Tracking snippets contain your Medama address. If you change the site's domain, update the snippet on every website you track.

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.
