PairDrop Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy PairDrop hosting and run your own AirDrop-style transfer page for any browser, on a domain you control. xCloud runs the pinned PairDrop v1.11.2 signalling server and publishes it over HTTPS in minutes. Files travel directly between browsers over WebRTC; the server stores nothing.

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

From Sign-Up to a Live Transfer Page In Just 3 Easy Steps

A transfer page normally means a signalling container, proxy headers, a domain and a certificate before the first file moves. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

  1. Step 01

    Sign Up

    Create your xCloud account and pick PairDrop from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server. There is nothing else to fill in: PairDrop has no accounts and no secrets.

  2. Step 02

    We Deploy It For You

    One click. We bring up the official PairDrop 1.11.2 image, pinned by immutable digest, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.

  3. Step 03

    Open It On Two Devices

    Open your domain on two devices or browser profiles. If they are not discovered automatically, join the same temporary room or pair them with the code or QR flow, then send a file or a text message and accept it on the other side.

Everything PairDrop Does, On Your Own Server

PairDrop runs in full here: discovery, rooms, pairing, WebRTC transfers and the PWA, with the server acting only as the signalling point.

  • Direct Browser-To-Browser

    Files and text go over WebRTC between the two browsers; the server only introduces them.

  • Rooms And Pairing

    Join a temporary room or pair devices permanently with a code or QR so they find each other across networks.

  • Progressive Web App

    Install it on phones and desktops and share to it like a native app.

  • Nothing Stored

    No database and no volume; pairings and preferences live in each browser.

  • Real Client Addresses

    Forwarding headers are set so unrelated visitors are not treated as one local network.

  • Private If You Want

    PairDrop has no login; put xCloud Basic Authentication or IP Management in front when the page should not be public.

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.

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.

What is PairDrop?

PairDrop is an open-source, browser-based peer-to-peer file and text transfer app with local discovery, rooms, device pairing and WebRTC transfers. This template deploys version 1.11.2.

Does the server keep my files?

No. Transferred files flow between browsers and are not retained. Paired-device secrets, display names and preferences live in browser storage, and room membership ends when the browser leaves.

Why does a transfer between two networks fail?

Direct WebRTC depends on peer reachability. Upstream notes that restrictive or different networks may need a separately operated TURN service, which this baseline does not deploy. WebSocket fallback is disabled because it would route file data through the server.

Is there a login?

No. If the signalling page should not be public, configure xCloud Basic Authentication or IP Management in front of it.

What does xCloud configure automatically?

The pinned PairDrop image, the url shown in the credentials panel, the domain and the HTTPS route. PairDrop stays on internal port 3000, reachable only through xCloud nginx.

What should I back up?

Nothing on the server: there is no database or volume. Keep the original files or downloaded copies; clearing browser storage removes device pairings and preferences.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update PairDrop?

No. The template pins PairDrop 1.11.2 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.

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

The template manifest asks for 1 CPU core, 512 MB of RAM and 2 GiB of disk as a floor for PairDrop. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, with real headroom above that floor.

What survives a restart?

Service availability, since the server is stateless. Pairings and preferences live in each browser, not on the server.

Is xCloud officially partnered with PairDrop?

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