From Sign-Up to a Live ProjectSend Portal In Just 3 Easy Steps

Self-hosting a client file portal normally means a web container, a database, a cache, a domain and a certificate before a single file changes hands. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

  1. Step 01

    Sign Up

    Create your xCloud account and pick ProjectSend from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain, target server, and the initial administrator email — there is nothing else to fill in.

  2. Step 02

    We Deploy It For You

    One click. We bring up the official ProjectSend 2.3.0 image, private MySQL and Redis services, mount the projectsend_storage volume, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.

  3. Step 03

    Sign In And Rotate Your Password

    Open the generated HTTPS URL, sign in with the administrator email and generated password xCloud shows you, then rotate that password before creating your first client and uploading a file.

Everything ProjectSend Does, On Your Own Server

ProjectSend runs in full here — client accounts, groups, file assignment and activity tracking, on infrastructure you control.

  • Private Client Accounts

    Give each client their own authenticated account instead of a public download link anyone can forward.

  • Clients And Groups

    Organize recipients into clients and groups, then control which files each one can see.

  • File Assignment And Expiration

    Assign specific files to specific clients and set expiration rules instead of leaving links open indefinitely.

  • Download Activity Tracking

    See who downloaded what and when, straight from the ProjectSend administration interface.

  • Private MySQL And Redis

    The database and cache run on a private network — only ProjectSend's own web service is exposed over HTTPS.

  • Persistent Uploads And Settings

    Uploaded files, accounts, assignments and application settings persist on their own volumes across restarts.

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.
Rahil Maknojia
Came from runcloud. Tried xcloud and never came back.

xCloud 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

What is ProjectSend?

ProjectSend is an open-source, self-hosted client file-sharing platform. It gives clients private, authenticated accounts for receiving files, organizes recipients into clients and groups with assignment and expiration rules, and tracks download activity from an administration interface. This template deploys version 2.3.0.

Is ProjectSend free?

Yes — ProjectSend Community is free and open source under the GPL-2.0 licence. What you pay xCloud for is the dedicated server it runs on and the management around it, not the software itself.

Can I self-host ProjectSend?

Yes — that is exactly what this template deploys. It brings up the official ProjectSend image alongside private MySQL and Redis services, mounts a persistent storage volume, and publishes it over HTTPS on your domain in minutes instead of assembled by hand.

Who becomes the administrator, and how do I sign in?

xCloud shows you a generated administrator password for the email you enter during setup. Sign in with that email and password, then rotate the password immediately — client self-registration is not enabled by this template, so you create and manage every client account yourself.

What does xCloud configure automatically?

The pinned ProjectSend image, private MySQL and Redis services on the internal Compose network, persistent storage, the domain and the HTTPS route. Only ProjectSend's own loopback-bound web service is routed through xCloud HTTPS.

Do clients need to set anything up themselves?

No. Client self-registration is not enabled — you create each client account, organize them into groups, and assign files. Clients simply sign in with the account you set up for them.

What should I back up?

The complete projectsend_storage, projectsend_db and projectsend_redis volumes together, from one consistent recovery point. The storage volume holds uploads and the persisted APP_KEY; the database holds accounts, assignments, links and activity; Redis retains queued work and sessions. Use a consistent MySQL dump rather than copying a live database directory.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update ProjectSend?

No. The template pins ProjectSend by immutable digest; a catalog re-sync affects new installations only. Review upstream release and migration notes, take and test a coordinated backup, and update all pinned image references deliberately before verifying sign-in, client access, file assignment and restore behavior.

What are the server requirements, and why does this page sell 6 GB?

This template runs ProjectSend alongside private MySQL and Redis services rather than a single container, so this page sells the 6 GB Cloud VPS tier as the entry rung — real headroom for those supporting services and uploaded files as your client base grows.

Do I need to configure email?

Not to install ProjectSend, but configure SMTP in System Settings before relying on client invitations or password resets — both features depend on outbound email.

What survives a restart?

Everything on projectsend_storage, projectsend_db and projectsend_redis, because they are persistent named volumes. Restarting the container does not touch your uploads, accounts, assignments, application settings or queued work.

Is xCloud officially partnered with ProjectSend?

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