Nametag Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Nametag hosting gives you a private personal CRM on your own domain. xCloud runs the pinned Nametag 0.63.0 image with a private PostgreSQL 16 database, a password-protected Redis for login rate limiting and a small scheduler container for reminders, generates the secrets, mounts persistent volumes and publishes the app over HTTPS in minutes — your contacts, notes and photos stay on your server.

What is Nametag?

Nametag is an open-source personal relationships manager that helps you remember the people in your life and how they are connected. You track birthdays, contact details and important dates, map relationships between people, and visualise your network as an interactive graph.

It is licensed under AGPL-3.0. Hosting it yourself means the contact data, notes and photos live on your own instance rather than in a third-party service.

From Sign-Up to Your First Contact In Just 3 Easy Steps

A Nametag stack normally means a web container, PostgreSQL, Redis, a cron sidecar, generated secrets, volumes, a domain and a certificate before the first contact. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Nametag from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server, then choose whether address geocoding is enabled or disabled.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the official Nametag image, pinned by immutable digest, with private PostgreSQL 16 and Redis 7.4 kept off the public internet and a cron scheduler sidecar, mount the nametag_db and nametag_photos volumes, generate the database, Redis, cron and session secrets, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Register Straight Away
The first start applies database migrations and takes about one to two minutes. Open /register on your HTTPS Nametag URL and create your account right away — registration then closes, so the first account is the only one. Sign in and add your first contact.

Everything Nametag Does, On Your Own Server

Nametag runs in full here: a personal CRM on your own domain, backed by a database you own.

Contacts And Important Dates
Track people with flexible attributes: names, birthdays, important dates, photos and user-defined custom fields.
Relationship Mapping
Create custom relationship types between people and visualise the network as an interactive force-directed graph.
Reminders
Set reminders for important dates and for staying in touch. Email delivery needs SMTP settings added in the Environment editor.
Journal
Log interactions and notes over time in a journal so each contact keeps its history.
CardDAV And vCard Sync
Sync with Google Contacts, iCloud, Outlook and Nextcloud over CardDAV, and import or export vCard and JSON.
Private Database And Scheduler
PostgreSQL, Redis and the cron scheduler have no published ports and are reachable only inside the install.

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 Nametag a hosted service or self-hosted software?

It is open-source software (AGPL-3.0) that xCloud deploys on your server, so your contact data stays on your instance.

How do I sign in for the first time?

Open /register on your Nametag domain and create the first account straight after install. Registration then closes automatically (DISABLE_REGISTRATION=true), so that account is the only one unless you set DISABLE_REGISTRATION=false in the Environment editor and redeploy.

What runs alongside Nametag?

A PostgreSQL 16 database, a password-protected Redis 7.4 used for login rate limiting, and a small cron scheduler container that triggers reminders, trash purge, CardDAV sync and address geocoding. None of them is reachable from outside the install, and you do not need to set them up.

What does the Address geocoding setting do?

Enabled sends contact addresses to the public OpenStreetMap Nominatim service so they can appear on the map. Disabled keeps addresses on your server.

Does reminder email work out of the box?

No. Password-reset and reminder emails need all the SMTP_* keys and EMAIL_DOMAIN set together in the Environment editor, followed by Save & Redeploy. Do not leave any SMTP key empty.

Why does the first load take a moment?

The first start applies database migrations and takes about one to two minutes. If the page is not ready yet, wait a moment and refresh.

What should I back up?

Both volumes together: nametag_db (contacts, relationships, reminders, notes) and nametag_photos (uploaded contact photos). Keep the NEXTAUTH_SECRET value with the backup.

Backups in xCloud

Can I change the database password later?

Editing DB_PASSWORD later does not change the running database. Change the PostgreSQL user password first, then update the value. Keep NEXTAUTH_SECRET unchanged; rotating it signs everyone out.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update Nametag?

No. The template pins Nametag 0.63.0 by immutable digest; existing sites are not automatically upgraded. Read the upstream release notes, confirm the new image tag can be pulled, 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 6 GB?

The template's baseline asks for 1 CPU core, 1024 MB of RAM and 5 GB of disk; measured idle use in QA was about 205 MiB across all four containers. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, with real headroom above that baseline.

What survives a restart?

Contacts, notes and photos: in verification all four containers were restarted and the data was intact, because it lives on persistent named volumes.

Is xCloud officially partnered with Nametag?

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