Deploy Remark42 hosting on infrastructure you control, instead of embedding a third-party comment platform on your website. xCloud configures the pinned Remark42 1.16.4 image, a generated authentication signing secret, persistent storage for comments and avatars, and the HTTPS reverse proxy in minutes, with anonymous commenting ready to test the moment it's live.
Self-hosting a comment engine normally means an application server, a signing secret, an authentication policy, a domain and a certificate before a single comment posts. This is the same result without assembling any of it.
Step 01
Create your xCloud account and pick Remark42 from the OneClick catalog. Choose your site title, domain and target server — the authentication signing secret is generated automatically, with no other fields to fill in.
Step 02
One click. We bring up the official Remark42 1.16.4 image — pinned by immutable digest — mount the remark42_data volume, generate a stable signing secret, enable anonymous commenting for the default site ID remark, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Open the generated HTTPS demo page and post a test comment using the default site ID remark. Then configure a supported OAuth or email provider, set an administrator identity, and review anonymous-access settings before embedding the widget on a public website.
Remark42 runs in full here — threaded discussions, moderation, authentication and administration, on infrastructure you control.
Give visitors threaded discussions with Markdown formatting and voting, instead of a flat comment box.
Start with anonymous commenting for a simple deployment, then configure supported social or email authentication providers when you're ready.
Manage separate discussion contexts with Remark42 site IDs, all served from the same installation.
Review, edit and remove comments, and manage anonymous access from Remark42's own administration tools.
Comments, avatars and cached images stay on infrastructure you control, not inside a third-party comment platform.
Remark42's embedded database, avatars, cached images and backup files persist across restarts on their own volume.
Managed hosting for Remark42, so the parts that keep it online are not your problem.

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.

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.

Remark42 is an open-source, privacy-focused, self-hosted comment engine — threaded discussions, Markdown, voting, moderation, and social or email authentication. This template deploys Remark42 version 1.16.4.
Yes — Remark42 is free and open source under the MIT License. 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 the official Remark42 image, pinned by immutable digest, generates a signing secret, mounts a persistent volume, and publishes it over HTTPS on your domain in minutes instead of assembled by hand.
Sign in once through a configured authentication provider, click your username on the Remark42 demo page to reveal your full user ID, then set that value as ADMIN_SHARED_ID in the xCloud Environment editor and recreate the service. xCloud does not set this for you.
Add the Remark42 comment widget to your site's pages, pointed at your generated HTTPS URL and the default site ID remark. Review your anonymous-access and moderation settings before making the widget public.
Yes — AUTH_ANON is set to true so a fresh installation can be tested immediately with the default site ID remark. Choose an authentication policy and disable anonymous access before public use if it doesn't fit your moderation requirements.
The pinned Remark42 image, a generated signing secret, the default site ID remark with anonymous commenting enabled, the domain and the HTTPS route. Only Remark42's web interface is published — its container port is never exposed directly.
Yes, but not automatically. This template ships with anonymous commenting only; configuring a supported OAuth or email provider is done afterward using Remark42's own authorization settings.
Every signed authentication session is invalidated immediately. Keep SECRET unchanged for the life of the installation unless you intend to sign everyone out.
The complete remark42_data volume. It holds the embedded comment database, avatars, cached images and Remark42's own backup files together under /srv/var — there is no separate database volume to coordinate.
No. The template pins Remark42 by immutable digest; a catalog re-sync affects new installations only. Review Remark42's upstream release and migration notes, back up the complete volume, and verify authentication, commenting, moderation and public HTTPS behavior after any change.
The template manifest asks for 1 GB of RAM, one CPU core and 10 GB of disk as a floor for Remark42. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, with real headroom above that floor for comment volume, avatars and cached images.
Everything on remark42_data, because it's a persistent named volume. Restarting the container does not touch your comments, avatars, cached images or backups.
No. No official partnership or endorsement between xCloud and Remark42 has been verified. This is a deployment and server-management option for the open-source Remark42 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.
