Microweber Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy Microweber hosting and run a self-hosted website builder where you build pages, blog posts and a shop by drag and drop, with no theme code to touch. xCloud starts the pinned Microweber image beside a private MariaDB database, runs the installer with the administrator you entered and publishes the site over HTTPS on your domain, so you go straight from checkout to editing in Live Edit.

What is Microweber?

Microweber is a drag-and-drop website builder and next-generation content management system based on the PHP Laravel framework, released under the MIT licence. Upstream says it lets you create websites, online stores and blogs without technical expertise, with real-time text editing in Live Edit, an admin panel for pages, posts and products in custom categories, and a primary focus on e-commerce. Self-hosted Microweber is the option for people who would otherwise rent a hosted builder such as Wix or Shopify.

On xCloud the template runs the microweber/microweber 2.0.19 image, pinned by digest and amd64 only, beside a private MariaDB 11.8.3 database with no published port. Four volumes hold configuration, storage, user files and the database. The installer runs with your administrator email, username and password. Mail is configured in Admin, and shop payments are yours to set up and test.

From Sign-Up to Your First Page In 3 Easy Steps

A PHP CMS normally means PHP, a web server, a database and a certificate before the first page loads. This gets you to the same point without setting up any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account, pick Microweber from the OneClick catalog, then enter your domain and your administrator email, username and password.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the official Microweber 2.0.19 image and MariaDB 11.8.3, both pinned by immutable digest, mount persistent volumes, run the installer and publish your site over HTTPS.
Step 03
Start Building
Sign in at /admin, open Live Edit on your home page, replace the default content and create your first page, post or product.

Everything Microweber Does, On Your Own Server

The same drag-and-drop editing and shop-first CMS you would run anywhere, on a server you control.

Drag-And-Drop Building
Move images, text, videos and modules around the page. The default Dream template ships 75+ pre-designed layouts.
Live Edit
Change text and layout directly on the rendered site, in real time, with no theme code required.
Pages, Posts And Products
Manage pages, blog posts and shop products in one admin panel, organised into custom categories.
Built-In Online Shop
Microweber is a shop-first CMS, so your store lives beside your site without adding an extra plugin.
Uploads And User Files
Editor media uploads are chunked, and the template raises the PHP limit to 64 MB for module and template zips. Media, modules and templates persist on their own volume.
Private MariaDB
Content lives in a MariaDB 11.8.3 database on a private network with no published ports.

What You Can Do With Microweber

Edit pages in a drag-and-drop CMS
A small business owner can move images, text and videos around a page and see the result immediately in Live Edit, without touching theme code, then publish to their own domain.
Launch a small online shop
Add products, organise them into categories and sell from the same site. Set up your payment method first and place a test order, since checkout was not part of the template's QA.
Run a blog beside your pages
Publish blog posts from the same admin panel as your pages, grouped in categories, so a company site and its news stay in one place on one server.
Move a site off a hosted builder
Rebuild a site on your own Cloud VPS and keep the files, media and database on volumes you can back up, rather than inside a vendor's builder account.

Microweber vs Alternatives

Wix: If your site is on Wix today, Microweber is the self-hosted route: an MIT-licensed drag-and-drop builder whose pages, media and MariaDB database sit on volumes on your own Cloud VPS.
Shopify: If you sell on Shopify, Microweber includes e-commerce in the CMS itself, per upstream. You run the server and set up payments yourself, and test an order before launch.
WordPress: If you are weighing WordPress, Microweber is built on Laravel and centres on drag-and-drop editing and Live Edit, with e-commerce built into the CMS itself, per upstream.
Grav: Grav has its own xCloud page. Microweber's template runs an app container plus MariaDB and a visual builder, so compare the two pages for their volumes, sizing and editing style.

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.

Is Microweber free?

Yes. Microweber is open source under the MIT licence, so the CMS carries no fee. The xCloud charge is for the Cloud VPS that carries the site and its MariaDB database and for the deployment. Any payment gateway or email service you connect bills you separately.

Can I self-host Microweber with Docker?

Yes. For Microweber Docker hosting the template runs the microweber/microweber 2.0.19 image, pinned by digest, with a private MariaDB 11.8.3 container and four named volumes. It runs the installer with your administrator details and puts HTTPS on your domain, so you sign in at /admin. The image is amd64 only.

How much RAM does Microweber need?

Its manifest floor is 512 MB of RAM, one CPU core and 5 GB of disk, and QA measured about 184 MiB idle and under 300 MiB after a full publish and upload. The 6 GB Cloud VPS sold here is far above that. Module and template zip uploads in Admin are capped at 64 MB.

Does Microweber have e-commerce?

Yes. Upstream says Microweber primarily focuses on e-commerce, with built-in features for online shops, so the store sits beside your site without an extra plugin. Shop checkout was not part of this template's QA, so configure your payment method and place a test order before taking real orders.

Which databases does Microweber support?

This template uses a private MariaDB 11.8.3 container on the internal network, with generated database name, user and password and no published port. Other databases are outside the template; check Microweber's own documentation before planning a different one for a hand-built setup.

Does Microweber support a blog?

Yes. The admin panel manages pages, blog posts and shop products together and lets you organise them into custom categories. New pages can use different layouts, and Live Edit lets you change text on the rendered site in real time. The default Dream template includes many ready-made layouts.

How do I back up Microweber?

A Microweber backup means all four volumes together: microweber_config, microweber_storage, microweber_userfiles with your media, modules and templates, and microweber_db. Restoring only some of them can leave files and the database out of sync. Keep an off-server copy, test a restore, and keep the APP_KEY.

Backups in xCloud

How do I upgrade Microweber?

Microweber stays on 2.0.19 and MariaDB on 11.8.3, both fixed by digest. For a later build, check Docker Hub for a published tag, save all four volumes, read both projects' notes and choose a newer template version. Upstream has not published 2.0.20 yet.

Why does the admin log browser console errors?

The 2.0.19 image's build manifest references an admin asset that the image does not ship, so every admin page logs two console errors. The admin interface still works; this is an upstream limitation that should clear with a future image. It does not affect the public site.

How do I set up email?

Configure outgoing mail in Microweber's Admin settings. The template does not drive mail from environment variables, because upstream does not read SMTP settings that way. Until you set it up, do not rely on password-reset or order emails. The administrator password is changed in Admin, not the environment editor.

Can I run Microweber in the cloud on xCloud?

Yes. Under Microweber cloud use, xCloud sets up a dedicated Cloud VPS, deploys the CMS and MariaDB and attaches your domain and certificate. The image is amd64 only, so any other provider's VPS you attach as a self-managed server must be amd64 too.

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.
