The Stack

Every Layer Built For Speed

A performance stack is only as fast as its slowest layer. xCloud tunes all of them, not just the one a plugin can reach.

  • NVMe SSD Storage

    Every server - managed or self-managed - runs on NVMe SSD, not spinning disk or SATA SSD. Storage is rarely the bottleneck on an xCloud server.

  • Redis Object Cache

    One-click Redis object caching keeps database queries out of the request path, even for logged-in traffic a page cache can never serve.

  • Full-Page Caching

    FastCGI full-page caching for the public side of your site, plus one-click NGINX configuration for WP Rocket, WP Super Cache and W3 Total Cache if you already run one.

  • NGINX Or OpenLiteSpeed

    A tuned LEMP stack with PHP-FPM ships by default, or pick an OpenLiteSpeed stack instead. Both are configured for you - neither needs hand-tuning.

  • MariaDB & MySQL

    Optimised database engines for the query-heavy workloads WordPress, WooCommerce and custom apps actually produce.

  • Cloudflare Integration

    Point any site at Cloudflare in a few clicks for DNS and CDN, or add Cloudflare Enterprise as a managed add-on for WAF and advanced caching.

Layer By Layer

Speed Configured Into Every Layer

Caching, database, the server stack and global reach - set up on day one, and yours to change.

  • Redis object caching

    Caches database queries a page cache never reaches, so logged-in pages - dashboards, carts, member areas - stay fast.

  • FastCGI page caching

    One-click full-page caching for the public side of your site: landing pages, the blog and product listings.

  • Your cache plugin, configured

    One-click NGINX setup for WP Rocket, WP Super Cache and W3 Total Cache, so the plugin you already trust works correctly.

  • Cloudflare CDN

    Static assets served from Cloudflare's edge network, with Cloudflare Enterprise available as a managed add-on.

  • MariaDB and MySQL

    Engines tuned for the small, constant writes that WooCommerce checkouts, form plugins and custom apps generate.

  • NVMe SSD storage

    Every database sits on NVMe, so disk I/O is not the thing slowing a query-heavy page down.

  • PHP your way

    Run multiple PHP versions on one server and set the version and resource limits per site.

  • Direct database access

    Full root, SSH and phpMyAdmin access - create databases and users, or connect your own client.

  • NGINX or OpenLiteSpeed

    Choose the stack when you provision the server. Both come pre-tuned with PHP-FPM; neither needs manual configuration.

  • Resize without a rebuild

    Move to a bigger server as traffic grows, on the same cloud provider, without a migration.

  • Auto healing

    xCloud detects a crashed service - PHP-FPM, MySQL, NGINX - and restarts it automatically, before it becomes downtime.

  • Site Insights monitoring

    Uptime, response time and resource usage tracked per site, with alerts before a slowdown becomes an outage.

  • 31 server locations

    Deploy in 31 locations across 7 cloud providers, or connect any fresh Ubuntu 24.04 server of your own.

  • Cloudflare's edge network

    Route static assets through Cloudflare's global network so visitors far from your server still load fast.

  • Redundant infrastructure

    xCloud's own managed servers run on data centers built with redundant power, cooling and networking.

  • Bring your own cloud

    DigitalOcean, Vultr, Hetzner, AWS, Google Cloud, Linode, Hostinger - connect the provider you already have an account with.

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.

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.

Came from runcloud. Tried xcloud and never came back.

Performance FAQ

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

Talk To Us
What actually makes xCloud fast?

The full stack is tuned, not just one layer: NVMe SSD storage on every server, Redis object caching and full-page caching configured in one click, and a choice of a tuned NGINX or OpenLiteSpeed stack with PHP-FPM. None of it needs manual configuration to work, and all of it is yours to change.

Does xCloud include a CDN?

Yes. Connect any site to Cloudflare for DNS and CDN in a few clicks, or add Cloudflare Enterprise as a managed add-on for a WAF and advanced edge caching.

Is Redis object caching included, or an add-on?

Redis object caching is a one-click feature on every xCloud server, managed or self-managed - it is not a paid add-on.

Can I choose the web server, or is it fixed?

You choose it when you provision the server. xCloud installs a tuned NGINX stack with PHP-FPM by default, or you can pick OpenLiteSpeed instead - both are pre-configured.

What happens if a service on my server crashes?

xCloud's auto healing detects a crashed service - PHP-FPM, MySQL or NGINX - and restarts it automatically, so a single crashed process does not turn into downtime.

How do I know if my site is slowing down?

Site Insights monitors uptime, response time and resource usage per site and sends an alert, so you find out before visitors do.
