From Sign-Up to a Live Qdrant In Just 3 Easy Steps
Self-hosting Qdrant normally means a container, a reverse proxy, a TLS certificate and an authentication decision before the first collection exists. This is the same result without assembling any of it.
Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Qdrant from the OneClick catalog. Enter a site title and a domain — there are no app-specific fields to fill in.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the pinned qdrant/qdrant:1.18.3 image, generate a 48-character administrator API key, and publish the REST API and dashboard over HTTPS.
Step 03
Start Using It
Open /dashboard from your credentials panel, enter the generated API key, and create your first collection with the vector dimensions and distance metric your embedding model needs.
Everything Qdrant Does, On Your Own Server
Qdrant runs in full here — the open-source server is complete, not a trimmed tier, and the vectors sit on infrastructure you control.
REST And gRPC APIs
Qdrant's own client libraries and REST calls work exactly as documented — this is the unmodified open-source server, not a proxy in front of it.
Web Dashboard Included
Inspect collections, run queries and check cluster health from the browser dashboard at /dashboard, protected by the generated API key.
Payload Filtering
Combine vector similarity with metadata filters on the payloads you store alongside each point — no second system to keep in sync.
Persistent Collections
Collections, points, payloads, indexes and local snapshots live under /qdrant/storage on a named volume that survives a restart.
API-Key Authentication
A 48-character administrator key is generated at first boot and required on every request — unauthenticated collection access is rejected.
Yours To Extend
A server you own means you can run other apps beside it, add app-specific tooling, or script against the API however you like.

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.
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.
Blaine MooreFrequently Asked Questions
Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.
What is Qdrant?
Qdrant is an Apache-2.0 vector database written in Rust. It stores embeddings and payloads and performs similarity search for semantic search, recommendations, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), agents and other AI applications, with REST and gRPC APIs and a browser dashboard.
Can I self-host Qdrant?
Yes. Qdrant's open-source server publishes official Docker images under Apache-2.0. This xCloud template deploys that exact server on your own VPS, pinned to version 1.18.3.
Is Qdrant secure by default?
Upstream self-hosted Qdrant has no authentication by default. This xCloud template changes that baseline: it generates and enables a 48-character administrator API key at first boot and places REST traffic behind HTTPS, so unauthenticated access is rejected.
How do applications authenticate?
Send the generated key in the api-key header to the HTTPS REST endpoint. Keep it out of source control and rotate it if it's ever exposed.
Does the template expose gRPC?
No public gRPC port is declared — port 6334 stays private inside the Docker network. The supported public endpoint for this template is HTTPS REST and the dashboard.
What are the server requirements?
The template manifest asks for 1 GB of RAM, 1 CPU core and 4 GB of disk as a floor — an eligibility minimum for a small evaluation workload, not a production size. This page sells the 6 GB tier, which is comfortably above that; a small production RAG or search workload typically wants 4+ GB RAM and 2+ CPU, and larger or high-throughput use should be benchmarked explicitly.
Where is vector data stored?
Collections, points, payloads, indexes and local snapshots are stored under /qdrant/storage in the persistent qdrant_data volume, which survives a restart.
What should I back up?
The complete qdrant_data volume. For safer online backups, use Qdrant's own snapshot APIs, copy snapshots off-server, and keep multiple recovery points — a server snapshot alone isn't a substitute for a tested Qdrant restore.
Does xCloud manage my schema, embeddings or RAG pipeline?
No. xCloud deploys and operates the server boundary — the customer designs collections, embeddings, application logic, access policy, scaling, backups and updates.
Does xCloud automatically upgrade Qdrant?
No. New installs are pinned to 1.18.3 and an immutable image digest. Before an intentional update, back up and verify snapshots, review Qdrant's release notes, and recreate the container without deleting the persistent volume.
Is xCloud an official Qdrant partner?
No. No official partnership or endorsement between xCloud and Qdrant is claimed. This is a deployment and server-management option for the open-source Qdrant server, separate from Qdrant Cloud and Qdrant's premium support products.
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.
