PocketBase Hosting Live In 5 Minutes
Deploy PocketBase hosting and get a complete backend for your app on a server you own, without wiring up a database, auth or storage. xCloud runs the pinned PocketBase 0.40.4 image, creates the superuser before the server starts so there is no open setup window, mounts four persistent volumes and publishes the dashboard and API over HTTPS in minutes.
- No terminal
- No technical skills needed
- No lock-in, cancel anytime
From Sign-Up to a Live Backend In Just 3 Easy Steps
A PocketBase server normally means a container, a superuser, four volumes, a domain and a certificate before the first collection. This is the same result without assembling any of it.
Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick PocketBase from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server, then set the Superuser Email and either enter your own superuser password or leave it blank for xCloud to generate one securely.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the official PocketBase 0.40.4 image, pinned by immutable digest, mount the pocketbase_data, pocketbase_migrations, pocketbase_hooks and pocketbase_public volumes, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Sign In And Create Collections
Open your domain at /_/ and sign in with the superuser email and password from the credentials panel. Create collections, fields and API rules from the dashboard, then point your client at the API with the JS SDK. Under Settings, Application, trust X-Forwarded-For so rate limits and logs see real client IPs.
Everything PocketBase Does, On Your Own Server
PocketBase runs in full here: collections, realtime, auth, files and the admin dashboard, from one Go binary with no database sidecar.
Collections And Rules In The Dashboard
Define tables, fields and per-collection API rules from the admin UI at /_/; PocketBase writes JS migrations for you.
REST API And Realtime
Every collection is served at /api/ with realtime subscriptions, ready for the official JS SDK.
Auth Built In
Email and password plus OAuth2 providers, configured per collection under Auth providers.
File Storage Included
Uploads live on the data volume, or point Settings, Files storage at S3-compatible storage.
No Open Setup Window
The superuser is created from the install form before the server starts, so nobody can claim a fresh instance by visiting first.
Four Volumes, Nothing Lost
Data, migrations, hooks and public static files each persist on their own named 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!
Brian GeovannyI'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 PinedaI'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
Leo KooHow Cloud Nine Web Elevated Client Experience While Streamlining Hosting Operations using xCloud
Ed EllinghamxCloud 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 ButucelxCloud isn't just a solution. It's like one of that friend who got your back when you screw things up pretty bad.
Waqar AhmedTrust 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 SinghSo 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 VillaCame from cloudways then to runcloud then to xcloud. Looks like I'm staying here.
Gerson ElI'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 LewisI came from Cloudways and won't go back. Highly impressed with xCloud. Glad I gave them a chance.
Jared McDowellI 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
David McCanHow Kevin Heinrichs Cut Hosting Costs by 84% While Running WooCommerce & Node.js Sites Efficiently
Kevin HeinrichsI had 150 sites on cloudways and am in the process of moving them to xcloud. Much faster and better priced.
Dan SpinozaDear 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 MaknojiaCame from runcloud. Tried xcloud and never came back.
Karl FanegaHow Advanced Web Strategies Saved Over $2,000 & Recovered 56 Hours per Month Managing 70+ Client Websites
Gary MoodyxCloud 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.
Jorge de los Reyes MartínezI use Server Avatar and xCloud and I'll sooner use xCloud than Server Avatar personally.

John ApertureI went from Cloudways to xCloud. No intention on switching in the foreseeable future.
Blaine MooreFrequently Asked Questions
Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.
What is PocketBase?
PocketBase is an open-source backend in a single Go binary: embedded SQLite, realtime subscriptions, user authentication, file storage and an admin dashboard behind a REST API, released under the MIT licence. This template deploys version 0.40.4.
Which image is this, and why not an official one?
PocketBase publishes release binaries and a sample Dockerfile, not a container image. This template uses the community muchobien/pocketbase-docker image, which downloads the unmodified official release for the exact version onto Alpine, is rebuilt for every upstream release and can create the first superuser from environment variables. Tag and digest are pinned together.
How do I change the superuser password?
Edit PB_ADMIN_PASSWORD in the Environment editor and redeploy. The container applies the superuser on every start, so a password changed in the dashboard for that email reverts on the next restart. Changing PB_ADMIN_EMAIL adds a new superuser; it does not rename or remove the old one.
Why trust X-Forwarded-For?
PocketBase runs behind xCloud's reverse proxy. Until you enable the IP proxy header under Settings, Application, rate limits and request logs see the proxy's IP instead of the client's. The panel shows the IP it detects so you can confirm.
Does it send email?
Only after you add SMTP under Settings, Mail settings. Verification and password-reset emails need it.
What does xCloud configure automatically?
The pinned PocketBase image, the dashboard url, api url, superuser email and superuser password shown in the credentials panel, persistent storage on pocketbase_data, pocketbase_migrations, pocketbase_hooks and pocketbase_public, the domain and the HTTPS route. PocketBase stays on internal port 8090, reachable only through xCloud nginx.
What should I back up?
All four volumes together: pocketbase_data (SQLite databases, uploaded files, local backups), pocketbase_migrations (the JS migrations PocketBase writes when you change collections), pocketbase_hooks and pocketbase_public.
Does xCloud automatically back up or update PocketBase?
No. The template pins PocketBase 0.40.4 by immutable digest; new installations use the pinned release, existing sites are not automatically upgraded. Back up first, read the upstream release notes, then update the image on your own schedule. Server-level backups and snapshots are available on every Cloud VPS.
What are the server requirements, and why does this page sell 6 GB?
The template manifest asks for 1 CPU core, 256 MB of RAM and 2 GiB of disk as a floor for PocketBase. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, with real headroom above that floor.
What survives a restart?
Everything on pocketbase_data, pocketbase_migrations, pocketbase_hooks and pocketbase_public, because they are persistent named volumes. Restarting the container does not touch that data.
Is xCloud officially partnered with PocketBase?
No. No official partnership or endorsement between xCloud and the PocketBase project has been verified. This is a deployment and server-management option for the open-source PocketBase 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.
