OSRM Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy OSRM hosting and run your own OpenStreetMap routing API on your own domain. xCloud runs the pinned OSRM v26.10.0 image with a small download sidecar that fetches the map extract and routing profile you choose, keeps the extract and built routing data on a persistent volume and publishes the API over HTTPS — no per-request fees and no third-party rate limits.

What is OSRM?

OSRM, the Open Source Routing Machine, is a high-performance routing engine for OpenStreetMap data. You give it a map extract and a profile, it preprocesses the road network, and an HTTP API then answers route, table, match, trip and nearest queries.

It is licensed under BSD-2-Clause. The map data it routes over is OpenStreetMap, which is under the ODbL and needs attribution.

From Sign-Up to a Live Routing API In Just 3 Easy Steps

A routing server normally means picking an extract, downloading it, preprocessing it for a profile, running the router, a volume, a domain and a certificate. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick OSRM from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and server, then enter the OpenStreetMap extract URL (the default is Monaco from Geofabrik) and a routing profile: car, bicycle or foot.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the official OSRM image, pinned by immutable digest, with a small download sidecar (no published ports) that fetches your extract, builds the routing data into the osrm_data volume and publish the API on container port 5000 over HTTPS. The first start takes about a minute for a city or small country, longer for large regions.
Step 03
Request A Route
There is no sign-in and no web page. Call the API directly, for example /route/v1/driving/7.4166,43.7311;7.4276,43.7396?overview=false on your domain, and read the route back as JSON.

Everything OSRM Does, On Your Own Server

OSRM runs in full here: the routing API for an OpenStreetMap region of your choice, on a server you own.

Fastest Routes Between Points
The route API returns the fastest route between coordinates, so your application asks your own server rather than a metered third-party service.
Distance And Duration Tables
The table API returns distance and duration matrices between many points, useful for delivery and dispatch planning.
GPS Map Matching And Trips
The match API snaps noisy GPS traces to roads, and the trip API solves the ordering of multi-stop journeys.
Nearest Road And Vector Tiles
Look up the nearest road to a coordinate, or request Mapbox Vector Tiles that carry routing metadata.
Your Region, Your Profile
Choose any OpenStreetMap extract, for example from Geofabrik, and a car, bicycle or foot profile at install time.
Routing Data That Persists
The downloaded extract and the built routing data sit on the osrm_data volume and survive an xCloud Restart without being rebuilt.

Delivery and dispatch planning
Ask for distance and duration matrices between many points to assign stops and estimate travel times.
Cleaning up GPS traces
Snap noisy GPS points to the road network and order multi-stop journeys with the match and trip endpoints.
A region you control
Load only the OpenStreetMap extract you need and keep routing data on your own server.

OSRM vs Alternatives

Google Maps Directions API: A metered, hosted service. OSRM is the self-hosted route: you run the server and the data, with no per-request fees from a third party.
Mapbox Directions API: Another hosted routing API with its own request limits. OSRM serves comparable route, matrix and map-matching queries from your own server, and can also return vector tiles with routing metadata.
Running OSRM by hand: You can install and preprocess OSRM yourself on any VPS. This page is the same software with the extract download, routing build, volume, HTTPS and domain set up for you.

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.

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.

How do I sign in?

You don't. OSRM has no accounts, credentials or web interface; you call the HTTP API directly on your domain.

Is the API public?

Yes. OSRM is unauthenticated and sends permissive cross-origin headers, so anyone who knows the address can call it. Put HTTP Basic Auth or an IP allowlist in front of the domain if it should be private, and cap request sizes with OSRM_ROUTED_EXTRA_ARGS, for example --max-table-size.

What runs alongside OSRM?

A lightweight download sidecar (Alpine, no published ports) that fetches your chosen map extract into the shared volume and then idles.

How do I change the region?

Edit the extract URL or the profile in the site's environment and redeploy. The extract is downloaded again and the routing data is rebuilt, and the API is unavailable while that happens.

How long does the first start take?

About a minute for a city or small country with the default Monaco extract, and longer for large regions. Building data for large regions also needs several GB of RAM, so size the server for the region you load.

What happens to a route outside my extract?

The API returns a response with a very large snap distance rather than an error, so clients should check the waypoint distance.

What should I back up?

The osrm_data volume holds the extract and the built routing data. It can be re-created from the extract URL, so the URL and your environment settings are what matter most.

Backups in xCloud

Does xCloud automatically back up or update OSRM?

No. The template pins OSRM v26.10.0 by immutable digest; new installations use the pinned release and existing sites are not automatically upgraded. Read the upstream release notes, then bump the readable image tag and digest together on your own schedule.

What are the server requirements, and why does this page sell 6 GB?

The template's baseline asks for 1 CPU core, 1024 MB of RAM and 5 GB of disk; measured idle use in QA with the Monaco extract was about 4 MiB. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, with headroom for larger extracts.

What survives a restart?

The extract and the built routing data on the osrm_data volume survive an xCloud Restart without being rebuilt.

Is xCloud officially partnered with OSRM?

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

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.
