Pastefy Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy Pastefy hosting on infrastructure you control, instead of pasting logs, code and notes into a hosted service you don't run. xCloud configures the pinned Pastefy 7.2.6 image, a private MariaDB database, and the HTTPS reverse proxy in minutes, with an application URL waiting when you sign in.

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

Self-hosting a paste-sharing tool normally means an application server, a database, a domain and a certificate before a single paste goes out. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

  1. Step 01

    Sign Up

    Create your xCloud account and pick Pastefy from the OneClick catalog. Choose your site title, domain and target server — Pastefy-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 Pastefy 7.2.6 image alongside a private MariaDB 11.8.3 database — both pinned by immutable digest — mount the pastefy_db volume, generate database credentials, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.

  3. Step 03

    Create A Paste And Check The Link

    Open the generated HTTPS URL and create a paste. Choose the visibility, expiration and encryption settings you need, then share the generated link and confirm it opens as expected.

Everything Pastefy Does, On Your Own Server

Pastefy runs in full here — syntax highlighting, expiration, unlisted sharing and optional encryption, on infrastructure you control.

  • Code, Log And Text Sharing

    Share code, logs, notes and other text through a clean browser interface instead of a hosted pastebin service you don't control.

  • Syntax Highlighting And Titles

    Apply syntax highlighting and descriptive titles so technical pastes stay easy to review later.

  • Unlisted, Expiring, Encrypted Pastes

    Choose unlisted visibility, an expiration window, and optional client-side encryption for more controlled sharing.

  • Raw View For Scripts

    Use Pastefy's raw view to pull a plain-text response straight into a script or command-line workflow.

  • Private MariaDB

    Accounts, paste metadata and paste content live in MariaDB, never exposed to the internet.

  • Persistent Database

    Pastes, accounts and metadata persist across restarts on their own volume.

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.

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

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.

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 Pastefy?

Pastefy is an open-source, self-hosted paste-sharing application — a browser interface for sharing code, logs, notes and other text, with syntax highlighting, expiration controls and optional client-side encryption. This template deploys version 7.2.6.

Is Pastefy free?

Yes — Pastefy is free and open source under the MIT License. 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 Pastefy?

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

Do I need an account to create or read a paste?

No, not by default. Guest paste creation and reading are enabled out of the box, and pastes are unlisted rather than publicly listed. Sign-in uses optional external OAuth providers, which you can configure yourself if you want to require accounts.

What does xCloud configure automatically?

A private MariaDB database with generated credentials, automatic schema migration on boot, the domain, and the HTTPS route. Only Pastefy itself is published — MariaDB stays private to the internal network.

Is an administrator account generated for me?

No. Pastefy's account sign-in uses optional external OAuth providers, and this template does not fabricate credentials for one. Only the application URL appears in the post-install Credentials panel — there is no admin username or password to collect.

Are unlisted links the same as access control?

No. An unlisted link is access-by-link, not identity-based authorization — anyone with the URL can open it. Share unlisted and encrypted paste links only through channels you trust, and apply expiration where appropriate.

What does client-side encryption protect?

Client-side encryption can protect a paste's contents from anyone who doesn't have the decryption key, but you should still apply sensible expiration and link-handling practices — encryption is not a substitute for controlling who receives the link.

What should I back up?

The pastefy_db volume, with an application-consistent MariaDB backup. It holds accounts, paste metadata and paste content together — treat it as one recovery point and test the restore as a complete transaction.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update Pastefy?

No. The template pins Pastefy and MariaDB by immutable digest; a catalog re-sync affects new installations only. Review upstream release notes, take a coordinated backup of pastefy_db, and test a restore before changing either pinned image.

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

The template manifest asks for 1 GB of RAM, one CPU core and 10 GB of disk as a floor for Pastefy alongside MariaDB. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, with real headroom above that floor for paste volume, retention and database growth.

What survives a restart?

Everything on pastefy_db, because it is a persistent named volume. Restarting the containers does not touch your accounts, pastes or metadata.

Is xCloud officially partnered with Pastefy?

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