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

Self-hosting a message queue normally means wiring up a broker, a lookup service, an admin dashboard, a domain and a certificate before a single message moves. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account, pick NSQ from the OneClick catalog, and choose a domain for the admin dashboard.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the pinned NSQ 1.3.0 image as nsqd, nsqlookupd and nsqadmin, generate the dashboard password and client auth secret, and publish the dashboard over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Sign In And Connect Your Clients
Open the HTTPS dashboard URL and sign in as nsq; the nsqd node appears within about 30 seconds. Point producers and consumers at the nsqd host and TCP port, authenticating with the auth secret via a client library.

Everything NSQ Does, On Your Own Server

NSQ runs in full here — the same realtime message-queue tooling as any hosted broker, on infrastructure you control.

Topics And Channels With At-Least-Once Delivery
Producers publish to topics and consumers pull from channels, with at-least-once delivery guarantees.
Admin Dashboard For Nodes, Topics And Channels
A web dashboard lists every node, topic and channel running on your queue.
Disk-Backed Overflow
Messages beyond the in-memory queue spill to disk automatically, so bursts don't get dropped.
Dashboard And Client Port Both Protected
The dashboard sits behind Basic Auth with a generated password, and the client port requires an auth secret so anonymous clients can't publish or subscribe.
Restart-Safe Queue State
Topics, channels and spilled messages survive an xCloud Restart, verified on QA.

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.

Gary Moody

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.

I use Server Avatar and xCloud and I'll sooner use xCloud than Server Avatar personally.

Frequently Asked Questions

Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.

What is NSQ?

NSQ is a realtime distributed message queue with topics, channels and at-least-once delivery, plus a built-in admin dashboard. This template deploys version 1.3.0.

Is NSQ free?

Yes. NSQ is free and open source under the MIT License. What you pay xCloud for is the dedicated server it runs on.

How do clients sign in?

They send the generated auth secret in the AUTH command, via a client library such as go-nsq (AuthSecret) or pynsq (auth_secret).

Can I use nsq_tail against this?

Not against the authenticated port — stock nsq_tail and nsq_to_* tools cannot send an auth secret. Use a client library with AUTH support instead.

Is the client connection encrypted?

No. The nsqd client port is plain TCP with no TLS, so payloads and the secret travel unencrypted. Keep secrets out of your messages, and open your own firewall for the port only to the addresses that need it.

What runs alongside nsqd?

nsqlookupd, nsqadmin and an nginx Basic Auth gateway, all private to the install — only the dashboard and the nsqd client TCP port are reachable from outside.

What does xCloud configure automatically?

The dashboard domain, HTTPS, nsqd, nsqlookupd, nsqadmin, the dashboard Basic Auth password and the client auth secret.

What should I back up?

The nsqd_data volume, which holds the nsqd state and disk-backed queue files, plus your stable .env values.

Backups in xCloud

Does xCloud automatically back up or update NSQ?

No. The template pins NSQ 1.3.0 by immutable digest; a catalog re-sync affects new installations only. To upgrade, bump the readable tag and digest together after reading the upstream release notes.

What are the server requirements?

The template manifest asks for 128 MB of RAM, 1 CPU core and 2 GB of disk as a floor. This page sells the 6 GB tier, comfortable headroom above that floor.

What survives a restart?

Topics, channels and spilled messages — all verified to survive an xCloud Restart in QA.

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.
