InfluxDB 2 OSS Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

An open-source time-series database with its own web interface, API and Flux query engine. Write metrics by line protocol, explore them in the browser, and keep every point on a server you own — behind HTTPS we manage for you.

  • Fully managed setup
  • Free SSL included
  • No lock-in, cancel anytime

From Sign-Up to a Live Time-Series Database In Just 3 Easy Steps

Get InfluxDB 2 OSS running fast with a guided OneClick form. From deployment to your first written point, everything stays simple — no first-start setup wizard to babysit and no reverse proxy to configure.

  1. Step 01

    Sign Up

    Create your xCloud account and choose your plan. Takes 30 seconds — no server or technical setup needed.

  2. Step 02

    We Deploy InfluxDB

    Fill in the short install form and click deploy. xCloud bootstraps the first administrator, organization, bucket and API token through InfluxDB's supported setup path, and provisions HTTPS on your own domain.

  3. Step 03

    Write Your First Points

    Save the generated password and token, sign in to the Data Explorer, then start sending line protocol from Telegraf, a client library or curl.

Not Just Storage — A Complete Time-Series Platform In One Place

InfluxDB 2 OSS bundles the database, the API and the browser tooling together, so ingestion, exploration and retention are all managed from the same place.

  • Data Explorer In The Browser

    Build, run and visualise queries from the built-in web interface — no separate dashboard stack needed to see what you're collecting.

  • Flux Queries

    Filter, window, aggregate and join time-series data with Flux, InfluxDB 2's own query language, straight from the UI or the API.

  • Line-Protocol Ingestion

    Accept writes from Telegraf, client libraries or plain HTTP using InfluxDB's line protocol — the format every mature agent in this space already speaks.

  • Organizations And Buckets

    Separate workloads into organizations and buckets, each with its own retention period, so raw and long-term data don't share a lifetime.

  • Retention Controls

    Set how long each bucket keeps its points and let InfluxDB expire the rest, instead of managing disk growth by hand.

  • API Tokens

    Issue tokens scoped to the buckets a client actually needs, and rotate them on your own schedule rather than sharing one master credential.

Everything You Need To Run Your Time-Series Database 24/7

Host InfluxDB 2 OSS on flexible plans built for a single project's metrics or a fleet's worth of them.

  • InfluxDB 2.9.1 deployed instantly
  • Free SSL certificate
  • No technical skills needed
  • Security updates included
  • 30+ server locations
  • Organizations for shared access

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 InfluxDB 2 OSS?

InfluxDB 2 OSS is an open-source time-series database for metrics, events and sensor data. It ships with a web interface, an HTTP API, the Flux query language, and organizations, buckets and retention policies for keeping different workloads apart.

Which version does this deploy?

InfluxDB 2 OSS 2.9.1, from a pinned image. InfluxData changed how the upstream `latest` tag behaves, so this template stays on the verified 2.9.1 release rather than following a moving tag.

Do I need technical skills?

No. There is nothing to configure and nothing to set up yourself. You fill in a short install form, and we install, patch and maintain everything for you.

How does the initial setup work?

xCloud runs InfluxDB's supported first-start setup path for you, creating the first administrator, an organization, a bucket and an API token. Save the generated admin password and API token that xCloud shows you after installation — they are what you sign in and write with.

Is it reachable over HTTPS?

Yes. The service listens on localhost only, and xCloud's nginx serves the UI and API over HTTPS on your own domain — so nothing is exposed directly to the internet.

How do backups work?

Back up both of InfluxDB's persistent data stores. Engine data and configuration are separate persistence boundaries, so a backup of only one of them is not a complete restore point.

How should I handle API tokens?

Restrict each token's privileges to the buckets it is meant to touch, rather than reusing the all-access token from setup, and rotate credentials on whatever schedule your security policy calls for.

Does my data survive a restart?

Yes. The QA run for this template wrote a synthetic measurement, restarted the service from xCloud, and confirmed it was still visible in the Data Explorer afterwards.

How big a server do I need?

Size CPU, memory, disk and retention policies against your write volume, series cardinality and query workload. Cardinality is usually what drives memory, and your retention periods are what drive disk.

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.
