Deploy Prefect Server hosting on infrastructure you control, instead of piecing together PostgreSQL, Redis, a web UI, an API and a worker by hand to orchestrate Python workflows. xCloud configures the pinned Prefect 3.8.5 image across its full five-service topology, generated authentication for the API and UI, persistent storage for orchestration history, and the HTTPS reverse proxy in minutes — ready for you to run your first flow.
Self-hosting Prefect normally means five services, generated credentials, a domain and a certificate before a single flow runs. This is the same result without assembling any of it.
Step 01
Create your xCloud account and pick Prefect Server from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server — there is nothing else to fill in.
Step 02
One click. We bring up the official Prefect 3.8.5 image across PostgreSQL, Redis, background services, the web UI/API and a ready local-pool process worker, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Open the generated HTTPS URL and sign in with the generated authentication string as username:password. Create a small test flow, target local-pool, and confirm the run reaches Completed.
Prefect's full production topology runs here — flows, schedules, workers and the API, on infrastructure you control.
Monitor flow runs, states, schedules and orchestration activity from Prefect's own web UI.
Prefect's background services keep schedules, states and run history current without manual polling.
Start immediately with a ready local-pool process worker for test and light trusted workflows.
Both the Prefect API and UI are protected with a generated credential from first boot, not left open.
Flow runs, schedules and event data persist in PostgreSQL and Redis across restarts.
A dedicated server means you can register more deployments or run other services beside Prefect as your workflows grow.

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.
Jay PaganoHow Newman Web Solutions Ensured Perfect Uptime and Seamless Scaling For 120+ WordPress Sites with xCloud
Lori NewmanI too have moved over to xCloud. It's pretty sweet. One click n8n and uptime Kuma apps
John ApertureI went from Cloudways to xCloud. No intention on switching in the foreseeable future.

Prefect is an open-source workflow orchestration platform for scheduling, running and monitoring Python flows. This template deploys Prefect's own five-service production topology — PostgreSQL, Redis, background services, a web UI and API, and a process worker — as Prefect Server 3.8.5.
Yes — Prefect is free and open source under the Apache-2.0 licence. What you pay xCloud for is the dedicated server it runs on and the management around it, not the software itself.
Yes — that is exactly what this template deploys. It brings up all five Prefect services, generated authentication, persistent storage and a ready process worker, then publishes it over HTTPS on your domain in minutes instead of assembled by hand.
xCloud generates one authentication string for both the Prefect API and UI. Enter it as username:password when prompted after opening the site over HTTPS.
The pinned Prefect image across PostgreSQL, Redis, background services, the web UI/API and a ready local-pool process worker, plus generated authentication, persistent storage, the domain and the HTTPS route. Only the web UI/API is exposed; PostgreSQL and Redis stay on the private Compose network.
Only whoever holds the generated credential. The process worker executes trusted workflow code, so do not grant untrusted users permission to register or run flows on it.
postgres_data, redis_data and the rendered environment together, from one consistent point in time. Pause new workflow submissions before taking the backup so orchestration history stays consistent.
No. Every Prefect image is pinned by immutable digest; a catalog re-sync affects new installations only. Review Prefect's release and migration notes, update every Prefect service image together, and test restoration without deleting volumes before changing anything.
This template runs Prefect's full five-service topology — PostgreSQL, Redis, background services, the web UI/API and a worker — rather than a single container, so this page sells the 6 GB Cloud VPS tier as the entry rung with real headroom across all five services.
Completed flow history and your generated authentication, because they persist in postgres_data and redis_data. Restarting the container does not touch orchestration data or credentials.
No. No official partnership or endorsement between xCloud and PrefectHQ has been verified. This is a deployment and server-management option for the open-source Prefect project.
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.
Connect your first server in minutes. No credit card required, and no plan you have to grow into.
