ownCloud Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy ownCloud hosting on infrastructure you control, instead of placing your team's primary file store in a hosted file-sharing service. xCloud configures the pinned ownCloud 11.0.0 image, a private MariaDB database, a private Redis cache for file locking, and the HTTPS reverse proxy in minutes, with a generated administrator account waiting when you sign in.

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

From Sign-Up to a Live ownCloud Workspace In Just 3 Easy Steps

Self-hosting a file-sync platform normally means an application server, a database, a cache for file locking, a domain and a certificate before a single file uploads. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

  1. Step 01

    Sign Up

    Create your xCloud account and pick ownCloud from the OneClick catalog. Choose your site title, domain and target server — ownCloud-specific secrets are generated automatically, with no other fields to fill in.

  2. Step 02

    We Deploy It For You

    One click. We bring up the official ownCloud 11.0.0 image alongside a private MariaDB 10.11.14 database and a private Redis 7.4.5 cache — all three pinned by immutable digest — mount the owncloud_files, owncloud_db and owncloud_redis volumes, generate administrator and database credentials, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.

  3. Step 03

    Sign In And Upload A File

    Open the generated HTTPS URL and sign in with the administrator credentials shown by xCloud. Upload a test file, read it back, and configure users, groups or sharing policies for the intended workspace.

Everything ownCloud Does, On Your Own Server

ownCloud runs in full here — browser access, clients, WebDAV, sharing and administration, on infrastructure you control.

  • File Sync And Sharing Workspace

    Sync, access and share files without placing your primary data store in a hosted file-sharing service you don't control.

  • Browser, Desktop And Mobile Access

    Use ownCloud's browser interface alongside its desktop and mobile sync clients, all pointed at your own HTTPS domain.

  • Standards-Based WebDAV

    Mount your workspace with any WebDAV-compatible client or tool, not locked to ownCloud's own apps.

  • Users, Groups And Sharing Controls

    Create users and groups, organize team files, and control sharing permissions from the ownCloud administration interface.

  • Private MariaDB And Redis

    File metadata, shares and application state live in MariaDB, with Redis handling cache and file-locking — neither is exposed to the internet.

  • Persistent Files, Config And Cache

    Uploaded files, account metadata, shares, configuration and locking state persist across restarts on their own volumes.

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!

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

What is ownCloud?

ownCloud is an open-source, self-hosted file-sync and sharing workspace — a browser interface, desktop and mobile clients, and standards-based WebDAV access. This template deploys ownCloud Classic Community Server version 11.0.0.

Is ownCloud free?

Yes — ownCloud Classic Community Server is free and open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3 (AGPL-3.0). What you pay xCloud for is the dedicated server it runs on and the management around it, not the software itself.

Can I self-host ownCloud?

Yes — that is exactly what this template deploys. It brings up the official ownCloud image alongside a private MariaDB database and a private Redis cache, all pinned by immutable digest, mounts three persistent volumes, and publishes it over HTTPS on your domain in minutes instead of assembled by hand.

Who becomes the administrator, and how do I sign in?

xCloud generates an administrator username (an ocadmin_ prefix plus a random suffix) and a 32-character password at install time, shown once in your Credentials panel alongside the ownCloud URL. Open that URL and sign in with those credentials.

What does xCloud configure automatically?

A private MariaDB database with generated credentials, a private Redis cache wired in for file locking, the administrator account, the domain, the HTTPS route and the trusted-domain and CLI URL settings. Only ownCloud itself is published — MariaDB and Redis stay private to the internal network.

Does this template include ownCloud's enterprise features?

No. This template ships ownCloud Classic Community Server only, licensed under AGPL-3.0. It does not include enterprise-only WND features or commercial support.

How do I change the administrator password later?

The generated password only initializes the account on first startup — editing the environment value afterward does not rotate the live account. Use ownCloud's own occ user:resetpassword command against the running container instead.

Can I connect desktop, mobile or WebDAV clients?

Yes. Point ownCloud's desktop and mobile sync clients, or any standards-based WebDAV tool, at your generated HTTPS URL and sign in with a user account. Connect them only through that HTTPS endpoint.

What should I back up?

owncloud_files and owncloud_db together, from the same recovery point: the files volume holds uploaded data and application configuration, while MariaDB holds users, metadata and shares. Also retain owncloud_redis for stable cache and file-locking state, and put the site in maintenance mode for coordinated backups.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update ownCloud?

No. The template pins ownCloud, MariaDB and Redis by immutable digest; a catalog re-sync affects new installations only. Review ownCloud's and MariaDB's upgrade notes, take a coordinated backup, test a restore, and verify sign-in and file read-back before changing any pinned image.

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

The template manifest asks for 2 GB of RAM, two CPU cores and 10 GB of disk as a floor for ownCloud alongside MariaDB and Redis. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, with real headroom above that floor for a growing team's files and shares.

What survives a restart?

Everything on owncloud_files, owncloud_db and owncloud_redis, because all three are persistent named volumes. Restarting the containers does not touch your files, accounts, shares or configuration.

Is xCloud officially partnered with ownCloud?

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