From Sign-Up to Your First Workspace In Just 3 Easy Steps

  1. Step 01

    Sign Up

    Create your xCloud account and choose your plan. Takes 30 seconds — no server or technical setup needed.

  2. Step 02

    We Deploy Plane

    Enter a site title and a domain — there are no app-specific fields. We bring up Plane Community Edition with PostgreSQL, Valkey, RabbitMQ and MinIO together, generate every infrastructure secret, and finish HTTPS in under 5 minutes.

  3. Step 03

    Register Your Instance And Workspace

    Open the Instance administration URL at /god-mode/ from your credentials panel and register the first instance administrator. Then sign in separately at your main Plane URL, create your first workspace, and configure SMTP before inviting teammates.

Not Just A Ticket Tracker — A Planning Workspace You Actually Own

Plane Community Edition is a full open-source project-management platform: issues, cycles, modules, pages and team workspaces running on infrastructure you control instead of a per-seat SaaS.

  • Issues And Cycles

    Track work through issues and time-boxed cycles the way sprint-based teams already plan releases.

  • Modules

    Group related issues into modules that track progress toward a larger feature or initiative.

  • Pages

    Keep specs, decisions and meeting notes in the same workspace as the issues they inform.

  • Team Workspaces

    Separate client work, products or departments into their own workspaces and projects.

  • Instance Administration

    Manage signup and workspace-creation controls from the /god-mode/ instance-admin console.

  • Open-Source By Design

    AGPL-3.0 Community Edition — the workspace, database and files stay on a server you own.

Everything You Need To Run Your Workspace 24/7

Self-hosted open-source project management on flexible plans, built for product teams, agencies and internal ops teams that want their planning data on their own infrastructure.

  • Six Plane services deployed together
  • Free SSL certificate
  • Automatic server backups
  • Database, queue and storage kept off public ports

Every size is a dedicated Cloud VPS we provision, patch, monitor and restore. Billed monthly with no lock-in — delete the server and the unused balance comes back to your account. The 6 GB rung sold elsewhere on this site is deliberately absent: it is below Plane's own 4 GB minimum, and upstream recommends 8 GB. Plane Community Edition itself is free under the AGPL-3.0 licence; Plane's paid editions are billed separately by Plane.

Connect any VPS — DigitalOcean, Vultr, Linode, AWS, Hetzner or bare metal — and deploy Plane on it through the same panel, for a per-server management fee instead of a Cloud VPS rental.

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 Plane?

Plane is an open-source project-management platform for organizing work through issues, cycles, modules, pages and collaborative workspaces — positioned as an alternative to tools like Jira, Linear, Monday and ClickUp.

Can Plane be self-hosted?

Yes. Plane publishes self-hosted editions, and this template deploys the unmodified, AGPL-3.0 Community Edition on an xCloud-managed Docker + nginx server.

Is Plane Community Edition free?

The Community Edition is open source and does not require a paid-edition licence key. Server resources, the xCloud service, your domain, backups, email delivery and support are separate costs — and Plane's own paid plans, priced per seat, are a different product from this self-hosted template.

Does this include Plane's paid features?

No. This template deploys Community Edition only — it does not unlock Plane Pro, Business, Enterprise or Airgapped features. Compare your required workflows against Plane's own edition and pricing pages before assuming a paid feature is included.

What does the xCloud template install?

Plane Community Edition v1.3.1, pinned for repeatable installs, alongside PostgreSQL, Valkey, RabbitMQ and MinIO. Only Plane's routing proxy is published, behind xCloud nginx and public HTTPS — the database, cache, queue and object storage have no host-published ports.

What do I enter during deployment?

Just a site title and domain choice — Plane has no app-specific install fields. xCloud generates the Django, live-server, PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ and MinIO secrets for you. The credentials panel shows the Plane URL and the God Mode URL, not the generated infrastructure secrets themselves.

How much RAM does Plane need?

The template's enforced minimum is 2 CPU cores, 4 GB RAM and 20 GB disk, and Plane's own documentation recommends 8 GB RAM for production-oriented use. That's why this page starts at the 16 GB plan rather than the 6 GB rung sold elsewhere on this site — 4 GB is exactly the floor, with nothing left over for the operating system and Plane's several services.

Is Plane a good alternative to Jira or Linear?

Plane covers issue tracking, cycles, modules, projects, pages and team collaboration, which is why teams evaluate it as an open-source Jira or Linear alternative. Check your required workflows, integrations, permissions and reporting against your team's actual needs before switching.

What should I back up?

All four persistent volumes together: PostgreSQL (users, workspaces, projects and issues), the uploads volume (files and attachments), RabbitMQ's durable broker state, and Valkey's cache and task-coordination state. Stop writes or the stack for a consistent snapshot, keep an off-server copy, and test the restore. A volume existing is not proof a backup is automatic or restorable.

Does xCloud automatically upgrade Plane?

No. New installs are pinned to v1.3.1, and a catalogue re-sync affects future installs only. Back up every persistent boundary first, review Plane's release notes and environment-variable changes, then apply a deliberate update and run any required migrations. Never run docker compose down -v on a retained site.

How long does deployment take?

About five minutes to a healthy, HTTPS-secured Plane instance with PostgreSQL, Valkey, RabbitMQ and MinIO already wired up behind it. Registering your instance administrator and first workspace inside Plane takes a few minutes more.

Is xCloud an official Plane partner?

No. No official partnership or endorsement between xCloud and Plane was found or should be implied. This is a deployment and server-management option for Plane Community Edition, not an official Plane service.

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.
