Paisa Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Paisa hosting keeps your budgets, net worth and investment returns on your own server. Deploy Paisa v0.7.6 as a self-hosted personal finance manager built on a plain-text ledger: xCloud runs the pinned official image, generates the admin password, mounts one persistent data volume for your ledger, database and configuration, and publishes it over HTTPS on your own domain, behind a single login.

What is Paisa?

Self-hosted Paisa is a personal finance manager. Its README says it builds on top of the ledger double-entry accounting tool, and the web interface shows budgets, net worth, cash flow, investment returns, goals, recurring transactions and tax reports from a plain-text ledger journal. It suits people who want their own ledger file, rather than a hosted budgeting service, as the source of truth. It is licensed under the AGPL 3 or later.

On xCloud the template runs the ananthakumaran/paisa v0.7.6 image as a single container pinned by immutable digest, with one paisa_data volume holding your ledger, database and paisa.yaml. HTTPS is published on your domain, and xCloud generates the admin password for the one login. It is single-user, has no password reset, and a new install starts empty.

From Sign-Up to a Live Finance Manager In Just 3 Easy Steps

Self-hosting a finance app normally means a container, a login you have to bolt on, a volume, a domain and a certificate before the first transaction. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Paisa from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server — there are no extra fields to fill in.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the official Paisa image, pinned by immutable digest, as a single container with an embedded SQLite database, mount the paisa_data volume, generate the admin password, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Sign In And Add Your Ledger
Open your HTTPS Paisa URL and sign in as admin with the password shown in the protected installation credentials. The ledger starts empty: add accounts and transactions in the Ledger editor, or set your currency, locale and financial year under Configuration.

Everything Paisa Does, On Your Own Server

Paisa runs in full here: a plain-text-ledger finance manager on your own domain, with its data on a volume you control.

Budgets, Cash Flow And Net Worth
Track budgets, cash flow and net worth from a plain-text ledger you own.
Investment Returns, Goals And Tax Reports
Follow investment returns, goals, recurring transactions and tax reports in one web interface.
Built-In Ledger Editor
Add accounts and transactions in the Ledger editor in the browser, and set currency, locale and financial year in Configuration.
A Generated Admin Login
xCloud generates an admin password at install. Unauthenticated API requests were verified to be rejected, and there is no passwordless access.
Single Container, Embedded SQLite
No separate database service to run: the ledger, SQLite database and configuration live together on one persistent volume.
Loopback-Only Port
The container port is bound to loopback only and published through xCloud-managed HTTPS.

Paisa vs Alternatives

YNAB: Compared with YNAB, Paisa reads a plain-text ledger you own and runs on your Cloud VPS, so budgets, net worth and returns stay behind your own login, in a file you can copy.
Actual Budget: Actual Budget has its own xCloud template. Paisa reads a plain-text ledger journal, per its README, and shows budgets, net worth, investment returns and tax reports from it.
Firefly III: Firefly III has its own xCloud template. Paisa keeps your data in a plain-text ledger file you can copy, and is single-user.
Ghostfolio: Ghostfolio has its own xCloud template. Paisa covers investment returns plus budgets, goals and tax reports from the same ledger, for one person's finances.

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 much RAM does Paisa need?

The manifest asks for 1 CPU core, 256 MB of RAM and 2 GB of disk, because Paisa is a single small Go binary. The 6 GB Cloud VPS this page sells is far beyond that, leaving plenty of room for a long ledger history and other apps on the server.

Is Paisa free and open source?

Yes. Paisa is licensed under the AGPL 3 or later, per its README and the COPYING file at the v0.7.6 tag, so the software costs nothing to run. xCloud only charges for the dedicated Cloud VPS, and your ledger stays in your own paisa_data volume.

Can you run Paisa with Docker?

Yes, and this is Paisa Docker hosting prepared for you: the template runs the official ananthakumaran/paisa v0.7.6 image as one container, pinned by immutable digest, with paisa_data mounted for your ledger, database and configuration, and HTTPS in front on your domain.

Does Paisa use a plain-text ledger?

Yes. The README says Paisa builds on top of the ledger double-entry accounting tool, and it reads your journal to build budgets, net worth and reports. New installs start empty, so add accounts and transactions in the built-in Ledger editor or set currency and financial year in Configuration.

Can several people have their own logins in Paisa?

No. Paisa is single-user here: one admin login can read and change everything. Share the password only with someone you would trust with every figure, and keep the address private, since the app has no per-user accounts or roles to limit access.

What if I forget my Paisa password?

Paisa has no password reset. Remove the user_accounts section from paisa.yaml in the data volume and restart; the app is then open to anyone who can reach the URL until you add a user account again, so do it quickly. Change the password under Configuration, User Accounts.

Do Paisa price lookups work on a self-hosted server?

Price lookups for mutual funds and similar commodities need outbound internet access from the server, which a Cloud VPS normally has. They fetch prices from external sources, so a lookup can fail when a source is unreachable; the template configures none of them for you.

What should I back up on a Paisa server?

A backup is the paisa_data volume, which holds your ledger journal, the database and paisa.yaml, including the hashed admin login. Your ledger is the source of truth, so it is the file that matters most. Keep a copy off the server and test a restore.

Backups in xCloud

How do I upgrade Paisa?

Nothing upgrades it for you: the template pins v0.7.6 by immutable digest. When a newer template version is published, back up the paisa_data volume with writes stopped, read the upstream release notes, adopt that version, then confirm sign-in and a report.

Is this Paisa cloud hosting?

It is your own Paisa on a dedicated Cloud VPS that xCloud provisions, not a hosted finance service. The container, the volume and the admin login belong to your install, and your ledger is never uploaded to a third party by the template.

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.
