Nametag Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Nametag hosting gives you a self-hosted personal CRM on your own domain. Deploy Nametag and xCloud runs the pinned official image beside a private PostgreSQL and Redis, adds the scheduler that reminders need, generates the database and session secrets, publishes it over HTTPS, and keeps contacts and photos on persistent volumes. Open the register page right away, because the first account becomes the only user.

What is Nametag?

Self-hosted Nametag is a personal relationships manager that helps you remember the people in your life and how they are connected. Upstream lists people with flexible attributes and custom fields, relationship types, an interactive relationship graph, groups, a map view, a journal, reminders, CardDAV sync with Google Contacts, iCloud, Outlook and Nextcloud, vCard and JSON import and export, a REST API and OIDC sign-in. It is AGPL-3.0 licensed, and upstream also offers a hosted version.

On xCloud the template runs ghcr.io/mattogodoy/nametag 0.63.0 with PostgreSQL 16, Redis 7.4 and a small scheduler container, all pinned by digest. Nametag has no admin account seeded from the environment: the first account to register becomes the only user, and registration then closes. Upstream warns it is under active development and may introduce breaking changes.

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.

A People Relationship Tracker: Everything Nametag Does

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 free and open source?

Yes. Nametag is licensed AGPL-3.0, so the software has no licence fee and its source is public. Upstream warns it is under active development, so expect breaking changes. You pay xCloud for the dedicated Cloud VPS, and the template adds no paid tier.

Can I run Nametag with Docker?

Yes, and this template is Nametag Docker hosting without the assembly. It starts ghcr.io/mattogodoy/nametag 0.63.0 beside PostgreSQL 16, Redis 7.4 and a scheduler container, all pinned by digest, proxies port 3000 behind HTTPS and mounts database and photo volumes.

How much RAM does Nametag need?

The manifest asks for 1 GB of RAM, one CPU core and 5 GB of disk, with PostgreSQL, Redis and a scheduler alongside. This page sells the 6 GB Cloud VPS for a Nametag cloud install, which is mostly headroom. Photos are what use disk.

Who can register on my Nametag?

Only the first person. Nametag has no admin account seeded from the environment, so open the register page straight after install and create your account. The template then rejects further sign-ups. To let more people join, set the disable-registration option to false and redeploy.

Does Nametag send address data to OpenStreetMap?

If you leave geocoding enabled at install, yes. Contact addresses go to the public OpenStreetMap Nominatim service so they can be placed on the map. Choose Disabled in the install form to keep addresses on your server, or point it at your own geocoder.

Can Nametag sync with CardDAV?

Upstream lists CardDAV sync with Google Contacts, iCloud, Outlook and Nextcloud, and vCard and JSON import and export. The template runs the scheduler that CardDAV sync needs. Set up each connection inside Nametag and test it with a few contacts first.

Does Nametag send reminder emails?

Not until you configure SMTP. Reminder and password-reset emails stay off, so a forgotten password cannot be reset by email. Uncomment and fill all the SMTP keys and the email domain in the Environment editor, then redeploy, or none of them.

How do I back up Nametag?

Back up nametag_db, which holds contacts, relationships, reminders and notes, and nametag_photos together. A pg_dump from the database container gives a consistent copy. Keep NEXTAUTH_SECRET with the backup so stored notification tokens stay readable, and test a restore.

Backup and Restore Docker Apps

How do I update Nametag?

Your install stays on its pinned 0.63.0 version until you adopt a newer template version. Back up both volumes and the secret first, and read the upstream release notes, since upstream warns of breaking changes. Afterwards sign in and open a contact.

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.
