QuickDrop Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Share files, pastes and short links from your own domain. xCloud configures the pinned QuickDrop v2.0.2 image, HTTPS and persistent storage for uploads, the database and logs — you set the admin password yourself on first visit.

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

Self-hosting QuickDrop normally means a container, a domain, a certificate and admin setup before a single file ships. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

  1. Step 01

    Sign Up

    Create your xCloud account, pick QuickDrop from the OneClick catalog and choose a domain. The template needs no other fields.

  2. Step 02

    We Deploy It For You

    One click. We bring up QuickDrop v2.0.2 pinned by immutable digest, mount the database, files and log volumes, and publish it over HTTPS.

  3. Step 03

    Set Your Admin Password And Upload

    Open https://your-domain/admin/setup right after install and choose your admin password — the first visitor to that page becomes the administrator. Then enable Force cookies to Secure in Admin → Settings (leave Trust reverse proxy headers off) and upload your first file.

Everything QuickDrop Does, On Your Own Server

QuickDrop runs in full here — the same upload, paste and link tooling as any hosted file-sharing service, on infrastructure you control.

  • Large Files, Chunked Uploads

    Uploads go in 4 MB chunks and are merged on the server, so big transfers survive flaky connections (1 GB default limit, adjustable).

  • Expiring, Password-Protected Links

    Set an expiry date and download cap per link, with a QR code for every share and AES-256/GCM encryption at rest for password-protected files.

  • Pastebin And URL Shortener

    Share Markdown pastes with syntax highlighting, and shorten links with custom aliases.

  • Admin Panel For Upload Rules

    Set retention, an optional site-wide app password, and storage on S3, Azure Blob, SFTP or WebDAV.

  • Choose Who Can Upload

    Allow everyone, restrict to the admin only, or require an app password — set from the admin panel.

  • Your Files, Your Server

    Uploaded files, the database and admin settings persist on their own volumes, surviving 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

How Cloud Nine Web Elevated Client Experience While Streamlining Hosting Operations using xCloud
Ed Ellingham
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.

How do I sign in the first time?

Open /admin/setup on your domain right after installation and choose the admin password yourself. Every page redirects there until you do, and the setup form refuses to overwrite a password once it's set.

Can I keep it private?

Yes. Turn on the app password to require a password for the whole site, restrict uploads to the admin, or put Basic Auth in front. By default anyone who can reach the site can upload and see the public file list.

Do I need an external database or object storage?

No. It is a single container with embedded SQLite and local file storage. S3, Azure Blob, SFTP or WebDAV can be enabled later in the admin panel.

What should I back up?

The quickdrop_db and quickdrop_files volumes together, from the same point in time. QuickDrop also has its own scheduled and on-demand database backups in the admin panel, in addition to server-level backups.

How big can uploads be?

1 GB per file by default, adjustable in the admin settings. Browser uploads are chunked into 4 MB pieces and merged on the server.

Is QuickDrop free?

Yes — it is free and open source under the MIT licence. What you pay xCloud for is the dedicated server it runs on and the management around it, not the application itself.

What does xCloud configure automatically?

The server, the database, files and log volumes, the domain and the HTTPS route. You set the admin password yourself at /admin/setup — xCloud does not generate or pre-fill it.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update QuickDrop?

No. The template pins QuickDrop v2.0.2 by immutable digest; a catalog re-sync affects new installations only.

Should I enable Trust reverse proxy headers?

No — leave it off. With it on, QuickDrop trusts a forwarded client address that visitors can set themselves, which undermines rate limiting and access logging.

What are the server requirements?

The template manifest asks for 1024 MB of RAM, 1 CPU core and 5 GB of disk as a floor. This page sells the 6 GB tier, comfortable headroom above that floor.

Is xCloud officially partnered with QuickDrop?

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

Can I run other apps on the same server?

Yes. It is a dedicated Cloud VPS, not a locked appliance, so you can deploy other OneClick apps or your own sites beside it as long as the resources are there.

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.
