Deploy Owncast hosting and stream live from OBS to a player and chat page on your own domain, without a platform in the middle. xCloud configures the pinned Owncast 0.2.5 image, generates the admin password and stream key, allocates the RTMP ingest port, mounts persistent storage and publishes the player over HTTPS in minutes.
A live-streaming server normally means a container, an RTMP port, an admin password, a stream key, a domain and a certificate before the first frame goes out. This is the same result without assembling any of it.
Step 01
Create your xCloud account and pick Owncast from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server. There is nothing else to fill in: xCloud generates the admin password and the stream key for you.
Step 02
One click. We bring up the official Owncast 0.2.5 image, pinned by immutable digest with RTMP ingest on its own allocated port, mount the owncast_data volume, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Sign in to the admin dashboard as admin with the generated password. In OBS choose a custom streaming service, enter the RTMP server and stream key shown by xCloud, start streaming, then open the public HTTPS URL to verify playback and chat.
Owncast runs in full here: the public player and chat, the admin dashboard and RTMP ingest, on infrastructure you control.
Viewers get a public player with built-in chat on your domain, served through xCloud-managed HTTPS.
Stream from OBS or any RTMP-capable encoder to the server and stream key xCloud hands you at install.
Configure the stream, chat and retention from a dashboard behind the generated admin password.
The stream key and admin password are applied from the environment on every boot; rotate them in the Environment editor with Save & Redeploy.
Configuration, database, generated keys, chat data and locally retained media all live on owncast_data.
RTMP is raw TCP on an allocated public port, protected by the stream key; restrict it with the server firewall when remote ingest is not needed.

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 GeovannyI'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 PinedaI'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
Leo KooHow Cloud Nine Web Elevated Client Experience While Streamlining Hosting Operations using xCloud
Ed EllinghamxCloud 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 ButucelxCloud isn't just a solution. It's like one of that friend who got your back when you screw things up pretty bad.
Waqar AhmedTrust 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 SinghSo 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 VillaCame from cloudways then to runcloud then to xcloud. Looks like I'm staying here.
Gerson ElI'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 LewisI came from Cloudways and won't go back. Highly impressed with xCloud. Glad I gave them a chance.
Jared McDowellI 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
David McCanHow Kevin Heinrichs Cut Hosting Costs by 84% While Running WooCommerce & Node.js Sites Efficiently
Kevin HeinrichsI had 150 sites on cloudways and am in the process of moving them to xcloud. Much faster and better priced.
Dan SpinozaDear 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 MaknojiaCame from runcloud. Tried xcloud and never came back.
Karl FanegaHow Advanced Web Strategies Saved Over $2,000 & Recovered 56 Hours per Month Managing 70+ Client Websites
Gary MoodyxCloud 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.
Jorge de los Reyes MartínezI use Server Avatar and xCloud and I'll sooner use xCloud than Server Avatar personally.

Lori NewmanI too have moved over to xCloud. It's pretty sweet. One click n8n and uptime Kuma apps
John ApertureI went from Cloudways to xCloud. No intention on switching in the foreseeable future.

Owncast is an open-source, self-hosted live video streaming and chat server with a web player, an admin dashboard and RTMP ingest, distributed under the MIT licence. This template deploys version 0.2.5.
In OBS choose a custom streaming service and enter the RTMP server address and stream key shown in xCloud's credentials panel. Start streaming, then open the public URL to check playback and chat.
The template supplies STREAM_KEY on every container boot as a session override that replaces Owncast's stored stream keys for the entire run, so a key added in the admin dashboard is never accepted. Change STREAM_KEY in the Environment editor and use Save & Redeploy instead.
The admin password is applied from the environment on every boot, so a password changed only inside Owncast is overwritten on the next boot. Rotate it in xCloud's Environment editor and Save & Redeploy.
Yes. RTMP ingest is raw TCP on an allocated host port and is publicly reachable, protected by the generated stream key. If you do not need remote ingest, restrict that port with the server firewall.
The pinned Owncast image, the public stream, admin dashboard, admin username, admin password, rtmp server and stream key shown in the credentials panel, persistent storage on owncast_data, the domain and the HTTPS route. Owncast stays on internal port 8080, reachable only through xCloud nginx.
The owncast_data volume as one unit. It contains Owncast's database, configuration, generated keys, chat data and locally retained media. Live video can consume substantial disk and CPU, so review retention and transcoding settings for your workload.
No. The template pins Owncast 0.2.5 by immutable digest; new installations use the pinned release, existing sites are not automatically upgraded. Back up first, read the upstream release notes, then update the image on your own schedule. Server-level backups and snapshots are available on every Cloud VPS.
The template manifest asks for 2 CPU cores, 2 GiB of RAM and 50 GiB of disk as a floor for Owncast. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, with real headroom above that floor.
Everything on owncast_data, because it is persistent named volume. Restarting the container does not touch that data.
No. No official partnership or endorsement between xCloud and the Owncast project has been verified. This is a deployment and server-management option for the open-source Owncast project.
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.
Connect your first server in minutes. No credit card required, and no plan you have to grow into.
