Notifuse Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy Notifuse hosting and run campaigns, automations and transactional email from your own server. xCloud runs the pinned Notifuse v41.0 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.

What is Notifuse?

Notifuse is a self-hosted emailing platform for sending newsletters and transactional email. It pairs a visual MJML email builder, campaign scheduling and list management with a visual automation builder and a REST API, and it is written in Go and React on top of PostgreSQL.

It also includes cookieless web analytics and open and click tracking in the same database. Notifuse does not send mail itself: you connect your own provider (Amazon SES, Mailgun, Postmark, Mailjet, SparkPost, SendGrid or SMTP) and pay that provider for sending.

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.

Notifuse vs Alternatives

Mailchimp: A hosted marketing platform. Notifuse runs on your own server, so contacts and campaign data stay with you, and it sends through the provider you connect.
Brevo: A hosted email and marketing suite. Notifuse is self-hosted and, as of v41.0, lists unlimited emails, contacts and team members with no licence key; you pay your provider for sending.
Listmonk: Another self-hosted newsletter manager. Notifuse adds a visual automation builder, a transactional API and built-in web analytics.
Mautic: A self-hosted marketing automation suite with a broader marketing scope. Notifuse focuses 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 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 lists unlimited emails, contacts and team members with no licence key; you pay your email provider for sending.

How do I sign in? There's no password in the credentials.

Notifuse uses magic-code sign-in. After you complete the setup wizard with your root email and SMTP settings, Notifuse emails you a one-time code each time you sign in. SMTP must work before anyone can sign in.

What do I do right after installing?

Open /console/setup on your domain straight away and complete the wizard (root email, SMTP settings and the API endpoint, with no trailing slash). Until it is done, the first visitor to that page becomes the root user; afterwards the wizard closes and cannot be re-run. The app restarts once when setup finishes, so reload after a few seconds if the page drops.

What runs alongside Notifuse?

A private PostgreSQL 17 database container. It has no public ports; only Notifuse talks to it. The inbound SMTP bridge is off and its port is not published.

Do I need a Notifuse licence key?

No, for most uses. Notifuse v41.0 is released under the Business Source License 1.1, which allows production use, including hosting for others. Six features need a key: more than three workspaces, granular permission sets, Amazon SES tenant provisioning, Single Sign-On, multilingual template variants and audit-log recording. Sending is never gated.

Notifuse licensing

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. Some VPS providers restrict outbound SMTP ports; an API-based provider avoids that.

What should I back up?

The notifuse_db volume (PostgreSQL data), ideally with a pg_dumpall dump because Notifuse creates a separate database per workspace, plus the generated secret key and database credentials. The notifuse_data volume only holds an optional GeoLite2 City override. Keep a copy off the server and test restores.

Backups in xCloud

Why must I keep the 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.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update Notifuse?

No. The template pins Notifuse v41.0 by immutable digest; existing sites are not automatically upgraded. Back up first, read the upstream release notes, then change the readable image tag and its digest together and redeploy. PostgreSQL major-version upgrades need pg_upgrade and are not automatic. 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, 512 MB of RAM and 4 GB of disk; measured idle use in QA was about 50 to 75 MiB. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, with real headroom for campaigns and analytics data above that baseline.

What survives a restart?

Workspaces, lists and contacts survived an xCloud Restart of both the app and its database in QA, because they live on the persistent notifuse_db volume.

Is xCloud officially partnered with Notifuse?

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

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.
