  • Hand-Drawn Style Diagrams

    Sketch flowcharts, wireframes and architecture diagrams with a hand-drawn feel that reads as a whiteboard, not a slide.

  • Real-Time Collaboration

    Share a link and draw together live — every cursor, shape and edit syncs instantly.

  • A Massive Shape Library

    Drop in icons, UI kits and community-made shape libraries instead of drawing every element from scratch.

  • Export Anywhere

    Export any board to PNG, SVG or the open .excalidraw format — no lock-in to a proprietary file type.

  • Organize Every Board

    Keep every diagram, wireframe and sketch in one place instead of scattered across tools.

  • Auto-Saves As You Draw

    Every stroke saves automatically to your own server — no manual export just to avoid losing work.

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

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.

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.

What is Excalidraw?

Excalidraw is an open-source virtual whiteboard for sketching diagrams with a hand-drawn feel. It supports real-time collaboration, a massive shape library, and exports to PNG, SVG and its own open .excalidraw format.

Do I need technical skills?

No. There is nothing to configure by hand and no terminal to open. You pick a server size and we provision, install and maintain everything for you.

How long does deployment take?

About five minutes. You create an account, choose a plan, and your whiteboard is live — no server setup in between.

What's the difference between xCloud and DIY hosting?

DIY hosting on DigitalOcean, Contabo or Hostinger means Docker, a reverse proxy and manual updates before your first sketch. On xCloud it's 5 minutes to a live whiteboard, zero maintenance, automatic updates and backups, and 24/7 expert support.

Is my data safe and private?

Every plan is a dedicated Cloud VPS — every board you draw stays on your own server, not a third party's. We provision it, patch it, monitor it and back it up, and a free SSL certificate is included.

Can my team collaborate in real time?

Yes. Share a board's link and everyone editing it sees each other's cursor and every change live, the same as the hosted excalidraw.com experience.

Can I export my diagrams?

Any board exports to PNG, SVG, or the open .excalidraw JSON format, so your diagrams are never locked into one tool.

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.
