Notifuse Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Notifuse hosting on xCloud lets you deploy Notifuse and run campaigns, automations and transactional email from your own server. xCloud runs the pinned image with a private PostgreSQL 17 database, generates the secret key and database credentials, mounts persistent volumes and publishes the console and API over HTTPS. Your contacts and campaign data stay on your infrastructure, and you connect your own email provider for sending.

What is Notifuse?

Notifuse is a self-hosted emailing platform for newsletters and transactional email, written in Go and React on PostgreSQL. It pairs a drag-and-drop MJML editor, campaigns with A/B testing and list management, a visual automation builder and a REST API with Liquid templating. A self-hosted Notifuse is positioned upstream as an alternative to Mailchimp and Brevo. Since v40.0 it is licensed under the Business Source License 1.1, not an open-source licence.

On xCloud it is Notifuse v41.0, the official image pinned by digest, beside a private PostgreSQL 17 container. The notifuse_db volume holds contacts, templates, campaigns and encrypted provider secrets, and notifuse_data holds an optional GeoLite2 override. Notifuse does not send mail itself, so you connect Amazon SES, Mailgun, Postmark or SMTP, and sign-in is a magic code emailed over SMTP.

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

A Notifuse stack normally means the app, a PostgreSQL database, a generated secret key, volumes, a domain and a certificate before the first campaign. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Notifuse from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server — there are no extra fields to fill in.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the official Notifuse image, pinned by immutable digest, with a private PostgreSQL 17 database that has no public port, mount the notifuse_db and notifuse_data volumes, generate the secret key and database credentials, and publish the console over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Run The Setup Wizard
Open https://your-domain/console/setup straight away and enter the root email, your SMTP settings and the API endpoint. Then sign in with the magic code emailed to the root email, create your first workspace and connect your email provider.

Everything Notifuse Does, On Your Own Server

Notifuse runs in full here: campaigns, automations, a transactional API and web analytics on a PostgreSQL database you own.

Visual Email Builder
A drag-and-drop editor with MJML components and real-time preview for newsletters and campaigns, with scheduling, A/B testing and list segmentation.
Visual Automations
Build multi-step journeys on a canvas with delays, branches, filters, list actions, webhook steps and in-flow A/B tests, with a draft, live and paused state.
Transactional Email API
Send automated email through a REST API with Liquid templating, using Amazon SES, Mailgun, Postmark, Mailjet, SparkPost, SendGrid or SMTP.
Open And Click Tracking
Track opens, clicks and delivery per campaign in the console, with campaign reports stored in your own database.
Cookieless Web Analytics
Built-in, cookieless web analytics with goals and channel attribution runs on the same PostgreSQL database, so there is no extra analytics service to deploy.
Workspaces And Contacts
Keep separate brands or clients in their own workspaces, each with its own contacts, lists and templates. Up to three workspaces need no licence key.

What You Can Do With Notifuse

Newsletters and campaigns
Design a campaign in the drag-and-drop editor, segment your lists, schedule the send and A/B test subject lines or content, with sending through the provider you already use.
Lifecycle automations
Build welcome series, follow-ups and re-engagement journeys from delays, branches, filters and webhook steps on a visual flow builder, with per-contact enrolment tracking.
Transactional email from your app
Send receipts, password resets and notifications through the REST API with Liquid templates, so your product's mail comes from the same console as your campaigns.
Separate brands or client accounts
Give each brand or client its own workspace with its own contacts, lists and templates on one server you control, within the workspace limit that needs no licence key.

Notifuse vs Alternatives

Mailchimp: Upstream positions Notifuse as an open alternative to Mailchimp. It runs on your own server, so contacts and campaign data stay with you, and it sends through the provider you connect.
Brevo: Upstream lists Brevo among the services Notifuse positions itself against, citing no per-email pricing. You pay your own provider for sending, and your data stays on your server.
Listmonk: Listmonk has its own OneClick page. In a Notifuse vs Listmonk comparison, Notifuse adds a visual automation builder, a transactional REST API and built-in cookieless web analytics.
Mautic: Mautic has its own OneClick page. It is a marketing automation suite with a broader scope, while Notifuse concentrates on email: campaigns, automations and the transactional API.

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.

How much RAM does Notifuse need?

The template baseline is 512 MB of RAM, 1 CPU core and 4 GB of disk; QA measured about 50 to 75 MiB idle. The 6 GB plan sits far above that, leaving room for campaign history, contacts and analytics data in PostgreSQL.

Can you self-host Notifuse with Docker?

Yes, and this template is notifuse docker hosting without the setup: the official image and PostgreSQL 17 pinned by digest, the notifuse_db and notifuse_data volumes, a generated secret key and database credentials, and HTTPS on your own domain.

How is Notifuse different from Mailchimp or Brevo?

It runs on your own server, so contacts and campaign data stay with you, and it sends through the email provider you connect. Upstream cites no per-email pricing; you pay your email provider for sending.

How do I sign in to Notifuse?

Notifuse has no password. After you complete the setup wizard with your root email and SMTP settings, it emails you a one-time magic code each time you sign in, so SMTP must work before anyone can sign in.

What do I do right after installing Notifuse?

Open /console/setup on your domain at once and complete the wizard: root email, SMTP settings and the API endpoint without a trailing slash. The first person to finish it becomes the root operator, and the app restarts once afterwards.

Is Notifuse free to self-host?

Version 41.0 uses the Business Source License 1.1, which allows production use, including hosting for others, but it is not an open-source licence. Some features, such as Single Sign-On and more than three workspaces, need a licence key. This is a self-hosted Notifuse cloud install, separate from upstream's own Notifuse Cloud service.

Does Notifuse send the email itself?

No. You connect Amazon SES, Mailgun, Postmark, Mailjet, SparkPost, SendGrid or SMTP. Sender domains, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, bounce handling and sending limits come from that provider, so set them up before sending production mail.

How do I back up Notifuse?

Back up the notifuse_db volume, ideally with a pg_dumpall dump because Notifuse creates a separate database per workspace, plus the secret key and database credentials. The notifuse_data volume only holds an optional GeoLite2 override. Keep a copy off the server and test a restore.

Backups in xCloud

Why must I keep the Notifuse secret key?

It encrypts stored provider secrets and signs tokens. Changing it after data is written makes those secrets unreadable, so save it from the protected installation credentials and keep it for the life of the site.

How do I upgrade Notifuse?

The install stays on its pinned v41.0 image until you adopt a newer template version. Back up all PostgreSQL databases first and read the upstream release notes. Nothing upgrades automatically, and a PostgreSQL major-version change needs pg_upgrade.

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.
