OpenEMR Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Run patient records, scheduling, billing and clinical workflows on infrastructure you control instead of a third-party SaaS. xCloud configures the pinned official OpenEMR 8.3.0 image, a private MariaDB 11.8.8 database, three coordinated persistent volumes and the HTTPS reverse proxy in minutes, with your administrator account ready on first sign-in. Deploying open-source software does not by itself make an installation compliant with any regulation — that responsibility stays with you.

  • No technical skills needed
  • No lock-in, cancel anytime

From Sign-Up to a Live OpenEMR Server In Just 3 Easy Steps

Self-hosting an EHR normally means a container, a database, a domain and a certificate before a single record exists. This is the same result without assembling any of it — the compliance decisions are still yours to make.

  1. Step 01

    Sign Up

    Create your xCloud account and pick OpenEMR from the OneClick catalog. Enter a site title, a domain, and an administrator username — keep the generated 24-character administrator password or replace it.

  2. Step 02

    We Deploy It For You

    One click. We bring up the official OpenEMR 8.3.0 image and a private MariaDB 11.8.8 service, both pinned by immutable digest, generate the database name, user, password and root password, mount the sites, logs and database volumes, and publish OpenEMR over HTTPS on your domain.

  3. Step 03

    Sign In And Configure Your Practice

    Open your HTTPS URL and sign in with your administrator username and password. Complete your organization settings, then use only synthetic or properly authorized data until you've confirmed your own legal, security and retention requirements.

Everything OpenEMR Does, On Your Own Server

OpenEMR runs in full here — patient records, scheduling, billing and clinical workflows, on infrastructure you control.

  • Patient Records

    Store and manage patient demographics, history and clinical documentation in one open-source platform.

  • Scheduling

    Book and manage appointments across your practice from OpenEMR's own scheduling workflows.

  • Billing And Prescriptions

    Handle billing and prescription workflows inside the same application your clinical staff already uses.

  • Clinical Workflows

    Run practice-management and clinical processes end to end, without stitching together separate tools.

  • Administrator Account On First Sign-In

    Choose your own administrator username and either keep the generated password or set your own before install.

  • Private MariaDB, Coordinated Backups

    The database stays off the public internet, with sites, logs and database volumes designed to be backed up together.

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.
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

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.

Came from runcloud. Tried xcloud and never came back.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

What is OpenEMR?

OpenEMR is a free, open-source electronic health records and medical practice management platform, covering patient records, scheduling, billing, prescriptions and clinical workflows. This template deploys version 8.3.0.

Is OpenEMR free?

Yes — it is free and open source under the GNU General Public License v3 (GPL-3.0). What you pay xCloud for is the dedicated server it runs on and the management around it, not the application itself.

Is this deployment HIPAA-compliant?

No claim of HIPAA compliance or any regulatory certification is made here, and none should be assumed. Deploying open-source EHR software does not by itself make an installation compliant with HIPAA or any other regulation. You are responsible for the legal, security, access-control, encryption, audit and retention decisions your jurisdiction requires.

Can I self-host OpenEMR?

Yes — that is exactly what this template deploys. It brings up the official OpenEMR 8.3.0 image alongside a private MariaDB 11.8.8 service, both pinned by immutable digest, mounts three coordinated persistent volumes and publishes it over HTTPS on your domain in minutes instead of assembled by hand.

How do I sign in?

You choose an administrator username (3-32 letters, numbers, dashes or underscores) during installation. The password field is pre-filled with an xCloud-generated 24-character value, which you can keep or replace before installing.

What does xCloud configure automatically?

The database name, database user, database password and a separate MariaDB root password, plus the three persistent volumes, the domain and the HTTPS route. Only OpenEMR's web interface is published through xCloud-managed HTTPS — MariaDB stays private to the internal network.

Can I use this for real patient data right away?

Use synthetic or properly authorized healthcare data only until you have confirmed your own legal, privacy, security, audit, encryption and retention requirements. Complete your organization settings inside OpenEMR before entering anything else.

What should I back up?

openemr_db, openemr_sites and openemr_logs together, as one application-consistent set. A database-only backup is not complete — uploaded documents and site configuration live in openemr_sites, outside MariaDB. Pause writes where practical, retain an off-server copy, and test restoration.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update OpenEMR?

No. The template pins OpenEMR 8.3.0 and MariaDB 11.8.8 by immutable digest; a catalog re-sync affects new installations only. Before an intentional upgrade, back up all three volumes, review OpenEMR's release and upgrade documentation, and never run a command that deletes volumes against an existing installation.

What are the server requirements?

The template manifest asks for 4 GB of RAM, two CPU cores and 20 GB of disk as a floor — OpenEMR and MariaDB together need real headroom. This page sells the 16 GB tier, well above that floor, so there's room for records, documents, and reporting jobs to grow.

What survives a restart?

Everything on openemr_db, openemr_sites and openemr_logs, because all three are persistent named volumes. Restarting the containers does not touch your database, site configuration, documents or logs.

Is xCloud officially partnered with OpenEMR?

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

Can I run other apps on the same server?

Yes. It is a dedicated Cloud VPS, not a locked appliance, so you can deploy other OneClick apps or your own sites beside it as long as the resources are there — though a database-heavy application like OpenEMR is usually best kept on its own server.

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.
