Nezha Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy Nezha hosting and monitor all your servers from one self-hosted dashboard on your own domain. xCloud runs the pinned Nezha v2.3.18 image as a single container with SQLite, generates the admin password and the agent secret key, keeps settings on a persistent volume and publishes the dashboard over HTTPS. Agents connect to a TCP port that you open in your own firewall.

What is Nezha?

Nezha is a self-hostable, lightweight monitoring and operations tool for servers and websites. A small agent reports each server's system status, and the dashboard adds HTTP, TCP and ping checks, SSL certificate expiry warnings, push alerts, scheduled tasks, a web terminal and a public status page. Run on your own server it is a self-hosted Nezha, an alternative to a hosted monitor such as Datadog or UptimeRobot, with the code under the Apache-2.0 licence.

On xCloud it is Nezha v2.3.18, pinned by digest, as one container with SQLite on the nezha_data volume. Agents do not use the HTTPS domain: they connect to the server IP and a public TCP port that you open in your own firewall, and that connection is not encrypted. The status page is public by default, and the admin can open a terminal and file manager on every enrolled server.

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

A monitoring dashboard normally means a server container, a database, admin and agent secrets, a volume, an agent port, a domain and a certificate before the first server reports in. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Nezha from the OneClick catalog. Choose a domain and target server; the install form has no fields to fill in.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We start Nezha v2.3.18, pinned by digest, generate the admin password, JWT secret and agent secret, replace Nezha's default login and publish the dashboard over HTTPS. The first start takes about a minute.
Step 03
Add A Server And Open The Port
Sign in to the admin panel as admin, add a server and run the install command it shows on that machine. Open the agent port in your own firewall, allowing only your monitored servers, because xCloud opens none.

Everything Nezha Does, On Your Own Server

Nezha v2.3.18 runs here with its dashboard, status page and agents, on a volume you own.

Live Server Metrics
A small agent on each server reports CPU, memory, disk and network usage to the dashboard.
Checks And Alerts
HTTP, TCP and ping checks, with push alerts and scheduled tasks, watch your services.
A Public Status Page
The status page at the root is public by default. Set NZ_FORCEAUTH to require sign-in.
Terminal And File Manager
The admin account can open a web terminal and a file manager on every enrolled server, so guard its password.
Agents Use A TCP Port
Agents connect to the server IP and a public TCP port rather than the HTTPS domain. The connection is not encrypted.
SQLite On A Volume
Settings and data sit in SQLite on nezha_data, and enrolled agents keep working if the volume is restored.

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.

Can I run Nezha in Docker?

Yes, and this template is Nezha Docker hosting without the setup: the official Nezha v2.3.18 image pinned by digest, as one container with SQLite on a persistent volume, a generated admin, an agent port and HTTPS on your domain.

How much RAM does Nezha need?

The template minimum is 256 MB of RAM, 1 CPU core and 2 GB of disk. It runs the dashboard as a single container with an embedded database. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung.

How do I sign in to Nezha after installing?

Open the admin panel under /dashboard/ and sign in as admin with the generated password from the credentials. Nezha's built-in default login is replaced during install, though a short window exists before that step runs.

How do Nezha agents connect to the dashboard?

Agents connect straight to the agent connection address, which is the server IP and a TCP port, not the HTTPS domain. Open that port in your own firewall, because xCloud opens none, and allow only your monitored servers.

Configure firewall management

Is the Nezha status page public?

Yes by default. Anyone with the URL can see the names, locations and live usage of every server not hidden from guests. Set NZ_FORCEAUTH to true in the Environment editor to require sign-in, and hide servers from guests if needed.

Is the Nezha agent connection encrypted?

No. The agent connection is not encrypted and carries the agent secret key, and the agent port also serves the web UI over plain HTTP. Sign in only through the HTTPS domain and restrict the port to your servers.

Is Nezha free?

Yes. Nezha is released under the Apache-2.0 licence, so using the software costs nothing. You are billed for the dedicated Cloud VPS hosting the dashboard, however many servers you enroll in it, which makes it a Nezha cloud of your own.

How do I back up Nezha?

Back up the nezha_data volume, which holds the SQLite database and, once you save settings in the app, config.yaml. Stop the container before copying so SQLite stays consistent. Nothing schedules this copy, so run it yourself.

Backup and restore Docker apps

How do I upgrade Nezha?

The install stays on its pinned v2.3.18 image until you adopt a newer template version. Back up nezha_data first and read the upstream release notes. Nothing upgrades automatically, and a redeploy keeps the volume and your enrolled agents.

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.
