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

Self-hosting a vector database normally means standalone mode, authentication, a domain and a firewall decision for the gRPC port before a single collection exists. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account, pick Milvus from the OneClick catalog, and choose a domain. There are no extra fields — xCloud generates the root password.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the pinned Milvus v3.0.2 image in standalone mode with authorization on, the root password generated, and the REST API published over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Call The API And Create A Collection
Save the root password shown in the protected installation credentials, wait up to two minutes for first start, then call the HTTPS REST API with an Authorization: Bearer root:<password> header and create your first collection.

Everything Milvus Does, On Your Own Server

Milvus runs in full standalone mode here — the same vector search engine behind semantic search and RAG applications, on infrastructure you control.

Store And Search Embeddings
Store and search vector embeddings for semantic search, recommendations and retrieval-augmented generation.
Standalone Mode, No Sidecars To Manage
The metadata store and object storage are built into the single container — there are no separate services to provision.
HTTPS REST API On Your Domain
The REST API (/v1/* and /v2/vectordb/*) is served over xCloud-managed HTTPS on your own domain.
gRPC Endpoint For Official SDKs
Connect official SDKs such as pymilvus over gRPC once you open the allocated TCP port in your own firewall.
Authentication On From The First Start
Authorization is enabled at install with a generated 32-character root password; requests without credentials get HTTP 401.
Collections Survive A Restart
QA created a collection, restarted the container, and got identical get and search results back afterward.

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.

What is Milvus?

Milvus is an open-source vector database for similarity search, semantic search and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). This template deploys version v3.0.2 in standalone mode.

What license is Milvus under?

Milvus is licensed under Apache-2.0.

What runs alongside Milvus?

Nothing — standalone mode embeds the metadata store and uses local object storage, all in one container.

What does xCloud configure automatically, and what's different from running Milvus by hand?

xCloud provisions standalone mode with authentication on, a generated root password, HTTPS for the REST API and a persistent volume, with the image pinned by digest.

How do I sign in?

Use username root and the generated root password from the credentials card. For REST calls, send an Authorization: Bearer root:<password> header. Requests without credentials get HTTP 401.

Can my SDK connect over gRPC?

Yes, over gRPC on the server IP and the TCP port shown on the credentials card, after you open that port in your own firewall. That port is not encrypted, so restrict it to trusted IPs or use the HTTPS REST API instead.

How do I change the root password?

Not through the environment editor — changing the password there after first start has no effect. Change it with the SDK's update_password call and store the new value yourself, since the credentials card keeps showing the original.

Configure firewall management

What should I back up?

The milvus_data volume, which holds metadata (embedded etcd) and object data under /var/lib/milvus, backed up with the container stopped so metadata and object data are restored together. Milvus's own backup tooling can also be used for online backups.

Backups in xCloud

Does xCloud automatically back up or update Milvus?

No. The template pins Milvus v3.0.2 by immutable digest; a catalog re-sync affects new installations only. To upgrade, bump the readable tag and digest together after reading the upstream release notes, and back up first.

What are the server requirements?

The template manifest asks for 2 CPU, 8192 MB of RAM and 20 GB of disk as a floor. This page sells the 16 GB tier, comfortable headroom above that floor.

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.
