Next.js hosting

Next.js Hosting Without The Platform Lock-In

Deploy your Next.js app straight from Git onto a server you control, whether that is one we manage for you or a VPS you already own. Server rendering, static export and API routes all run the way they run locally.

  • Your own VPS or an xCloud managed server
  • SSR, SSG and API routes on one server
  • Free SSL and a free test domain
  • Push To Deploy

    Connect a repository once, then every push to your live branch builds and ships itself.

  • Any Server You Like

    Launch one we manage, or connect a VPS you already run at any provider. Same panel either way.

  • Predictable Bill

    A flat monthly price, with no per-request billing and no bandwidth surprise.

  • Root Access Kept

    Real servers with SSH, so cron jobs and background workers run right beside your app.

Fastest Way to Bring Your Projects to Production

Ship Straight from Git Repo

Choose what you want to run, connect your code, and let xCloud handle the rest. Your project builds and deploys automatically, so any workload, project, or AI agent goes live in minutes.

Setup process

From Repository To Production In Four Steps

The same flow whether you are shipping a marketing site, a dashboard behind auth, or an app that serves its own API.

  1. Connect your repository

    Link GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket and pick the repo and branch xCloud should watch.

  2. Choose how it renders

    One toggle decides whether your app is served as a static export or run as a Node process for server rendering and API routes.

  3. Configure the site

    Pick your Node version, set your build and start commands, add environment variables, and attach a database if the app needs one.

  4. Go live

    Deploy on a free test domain, point your real domain when you are happy, and let every later push deploy itself.

Run It On A Server We Manage

Launch a managed server in 30+ locations and we handle the operating system, security patching, backups and monitoring. One flat monthly price, and you can host as many Next.js apps on it as it has room for.

Everything A Next.js App Needs On Day One

Not a checklist of hosting adjectives. These are the things you would otherwise spend a first week wiring up by hand.

  • Git Integration

    Connect your Git account once and deploy from any repository you can reach, automatically on push.

  • Environment Control

    Set your Node version, environment variables and build settings from the dashboard, without an SSH session.

  • Free SSL, Renewed

    A certificate is issued once your domain resolves and renewed before it expires, so HTTPS never lapses.

  • Automated Backups

    Scheduled local and remote backups of your app and its database, restorable in a few clicks.

  • Custom & Test Domains

    Ship on a free test domain first, then attach your own once the app is ready to be seen.

  • CDN & Caching

    Cloudflare integration and server-level caching in front of static assets, so first paint is not waiting on origin.

The alternative

Wiring It Up By Hand vs Wiring It Up In xCloud

A Linux box and a Node process is a perfectly good way to host Next.js. It is just a list of jobs, and this is that list. Everything on the right comes with the panel, on your server or ours.

Scroll the table sideways to compare.

By hand on a Linux boxWith xCloud
Install Node, a process manager and a reverse proxy before the first deploy.Pick a Node version at create time. The proxy and process manager are already configured.
Write your own deploy script, then keep it working as the build changes.Push to your live branch and the build and restart run for you.
Issue and renew certificates yourself, and notice when renewal fails.SSL is issued and renewed automatically.
Remember to back up, and find out whether restore works during an incident.Scheduled local and remote backups with a one-click restore.

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!

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.

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

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.

Came from cloudways then to runcloud then to xcloud. Looks like I'm staying here.

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

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.

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

Rendering modes, deployments, databases and what happens if you want to leave.

Can I deploy to my own server, or does it have to be an xCloud server?

Either. You can launch a server that xCloud provisions and manages for you, or connect a VPS you already run at DigitalOcean, Vultr, Linode, AWS, Hetzner or on your own hardware. The deployment flow, the control panel and the Next.js features are identical; what differs is who owns the machine and who patches the operating system.

What is the difference in what I pay?

A managed server is one flat monthly price that covers the machine and the management. Self-managed is a smaller per-server fee for the panel, and you pay your own provider separately for the server. Both are shown above.

Does server-side rendering work, or is this static only?

Both work. When you create the site you choose whether it is served as a static export or run as a Node process. The Node option is what you want for server rendering, API routes and anything that reads a request at runtime.

Which Next.js versions and routers are supported?

xCloud runs your app with your own build and start commands on the Node version you select, so App Router and Pages Router both work, as does any version your code builds against. If it runs with npm run build and npm start locally, it runs here.

How do deployments happen after the first one?

Connect the repository once and pushes to your live branch deploy automatically. You can also trigger a deploy from the dashboard when you would rather choose the moment.

Can I use a database?

Yes. You can attach a database during setup or later from site settings, and connect to an external managed database instead if you already have one.

Do I get shell access?

Yes. These are real servers with SSH and root access, so you can run migrations, inspect logs and add background processes beside your app.

Can I host more than one app on a server?

Yes. A plan is a server, not a site. Run several Next.js apps, plus WordPress or anything else, on the same server until you need more room.

What if I want to move away later?

Your code stays in your Git repository and the app runs as a standard Node process, so there is nothing proprietary to unpick. Take the repo and the database anywhere.
