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

Get pgvector running fast with a guided OneClick form. From deployment to your first similarity query, everything stays simple — no versions to pin, no extension to compile and no storage to wire up.

  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 pgvector

    Fill in the short install form and click deploy. xCloud generates the database name, username and a strong password, allocates the PostgreSQL port and enables the vector extension for you.

  3. Step 03

    Connect Your Client

    Take the host, port, database, username and password from your dashboard, point psql or your application at them, and start writing embeddings.

Not A Bolt-On Index — Vector Search Inside PostgreSQL Itself

pgvector extends PostgreSQL with a real vector type, so embeddings live in the same database, the same transaction and the same backup as the rows they describe. One system to run, one system to query.

  • pgvector 0.8.6 On PostgreSQL 17

    A pinned, current pair — the extension version and the database version are both fixed by the template, not left to whatever a floating tag resolves to today.

  • Exact And Approximate Search

    Run precise nearest-neighbour queries when correctness matters, or an approximate index when latency does. Both are available from the same table.

  • Embeddings Beside Your Data

    Join a similarity search against your ordinary columns in one SQL query — no second datastore to keep in sync with the first.

  • RAG And Semantic Search

    The retrieval half of a retrieval-augmented generation stack, plus semantic search, recommendations and de-duplication, on infrastructure you control.

  • Generated Credentials

    xCloud creates the database, the role and a strong password at install time, so nothing ships with a default you have to remember to change.

  • Persistent Storage

    Database files live on their own persistent pgvector_data store, so your corpus and its indexes survive restarts and redeploys.

Everything You Need To Run Your Vector Database 24/7

Host pgvector on flexible plans built for prototypes, production retrieval workloads and everything between.

  • pgvector 0.8.6 deployed instantly
  • Generated database credentials
  • No technical skills needed
  • 30+ server locations
  • Unlimited sites per server
  • Unused balance refunded

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.

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

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

What is pgvector?

pgvector is a PostgreSQL extension that adds a vector data type along with exact and approximate nearest-neighbour search. It lets you store embeddings next to your ordinary relational data and query both together — the foundation for semantic search, recommendations, de-duplication and the retrieval half of a RAG pipeline.

Which versions does this deploy?

pgvector 0.8.6 on PostgreSQL 17, from a pinned image. The template enables the vector extension for you, so the database is ready to accept embeddings the moment it comes up.

Do I need technical skills?

Nothing technical to get the database running — you fill in a short install form and we deploy, patch and monitor it. You do need to know how to talk to PostgreSQL from your own client or application, because this is a database rather than an app with a web interface.

Is there a web interface?

No. This is a raw PostgreSQL TCP service, not a proxied web application. xCloud shows you the host, port, database name, username and password, and you connect with psql, a GUI client or your application's PostgreSQL driver.

How do I keep the connection secure?

Restrict the allocated PostgreSQL port with a firewall so only trusted client networks can reach it, and where you need protected transport, put the connection on a private network, a VPN, an SSH tunnel or another TLS-protected path. Treat the port as a database boundary, not a public one.

How do backups work?

Back up the complete pgvector_data store, which is where all database files live. For portability between servers and versions, take logical PostgreSQL backups (pg_dump / pg_dumpall) as well — a storage-level copy restores this server, a logical dump restores anywhere.

Can I change the generated database password?

Yes, but change it with SQL. PostgreSQL's bootstrap environment values only initialise an empty data directory, so editing them after the database exists does nothing — rotate an established role with an ALTER ROLE statement instead, then update your clients.

Does my data survive a restart?

Yes. Database files sit on persistent storage that outlives the service. The QA run for this template wrote a synthetic nearest-neighbour marker, restarted the service from xCloud, and found the row and its vector still there.

How big a server do I need?

It depends on your corpus. Choose vector dimensions and index types to match the workload, then watch index memory and query latency — approximate indexes perform best when they fit in RAM, so memory is usually the first spec to raise, not 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.
