Measure your website traffic without cookies, consent banners or handing visitor data to a third party.

From Sign-Up to a Live Plausible Dashboard In Just 3 Easy Steps

Self-hosting privacy-friendly analytics normally means a container, two databases, a domain and a certificate before a single pageview is tracked. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

  1. Step 01

    Sign Up

    Create your xCloud account and pick Plausible Analytics from the OneClick catalog. Enter a site title and domain — the template generates the required internal secrets automatically.

  2. Step 02

    We Deploy It For You

    One click. We bring up the official Plausible Community Edition 3.2.1 image alongside private PostgreSQL and ClickHouse services, all pinned by immutable digest, mount all four persistent volumes and publish Plausible over HTTPS on your domain.

  3. Step 03

    Register The Owner And Add A Site

    Open your HTTPS URL and register the first account — Plausible always allows this first registration through, making you the owner. Add the website you want to measure, install its tracking snippet, and confirm a pageview appears in the dashboard.

Everything Plausible Does, On Your Own Server

Plausible Analytics runs in full here — privacy-friendly, cookie-free web analytics, on infrastructure you control.

  • Simple Traffic Dashboard

    See visitors, sources and top pages on one focused screen instead of a cluttered enterprise report.

  • Cookie-Free By Design

    Track traffic without cookies or a consent banner, since no personal data is stored per visitor.

  • Goals And Funnels

    Define goals and funnels to see where visitors convert and where they drop off.

  • First-Party Data Ownership

    Every event lands in your own ClickHouse database instead of a vendor's shared infrastructure.

  • Multiple Sites, One Dashboard

    Add as many websites as you want to measure and switch between them from the same account.

  • Four Volumes, Fully Persistent

    Accounts and configuration in PostgreSQL, event history in ClickHouse, and application data on plausible_app_data all survive a restart.

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.
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

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 Plausible Analytics?

Plausible Analytics Community Edition is a free, open-source, self-hosted, privacy-friendly and cookie-free web analytics platform with a simple dashboard, goals and funnels. This template deploys version 3.2.1.

Is Plausible Analytics free?

Yes — the Community Edition is free and open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3 (AGPL-3.0). What you pay xCloud for is the dedicated server it runs on and the management around it, not the application itself.

Is this the same as plausible.io?

No. This deploys the self-hosted Plausible Analytics Community Edition, a distinct open-source codebase you run yourself — not the hosted plausible.io service.

Can I self-host Plausible Analytics?

Yes — that is exactly what this template deploys. It brings up the official Community Edition 3.2.1 image alongside private PostgreSQL and ClickHouse services, all pinned by immutable digest, mounts four persistent volumes and publishes it over HTTPS on your domain in minutes instead of assembled by hand.

How do I sign in?

There is no default account or generated password. Open your HTTPS URL after installation and register the first account yourself — Plausible always lets this first registration through and makes you the owner.

Can other people register an account?

Not by default. The template ships with DISABLE_REGISTRATION=invite_only, so after the owner registers, further public sign-ups are blocked automatically unless you send an invite. Set it to true if you want to block invited registrations too.

What does xCloud configure automatically?

SECRET_KEY_BASE, the PostgreSQL password, all four persistent volumes, the domain and the HTTPS route. Only the Plausible web interface and event API are published through xCloud-managed ingress — PostgreSQL and ClickHouse stay private.

Does Plausible send verification emails?

No, not initially. Email verification is disabled in this template because SMTP is deployment-specific, so password recovery is unavailable until you configure mail settings yourself.

What should I back up?

All four volumes together, from one coordinated window: plausible_postgres_data (accounts and site configuration), plausible_clickhouse_data and plausible_clickhouse_logs (event history) and plausible_app_data. Treat them as one application-consistent set.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update Plausible?

No. The template pins Plausible and its two dependency images by immutable digest; a catalog re-sync affects new installations only. Review Plausible Community Edition release notes and back up all four volumes before updating an existing installation.

How do I rotate the PostgreSQL password?

Change the database role's password inside PostgreSQL first, then update POSTGRES_PASSWORD in the Environment editor and redeploy — not the other way around.

What are the server requirements?

The template manifest asks for 4 GB of RAM, two CPU cores and 20 GB of disk as a floor — that's why this page sells the 16 GB tier rather than the 6 GB tier every lighter OneClick app uses, giving ClickHouse room to grow with your event volume and retention.

Is xCloud officially partnered with Plausible?

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