RustDesk Server Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy RustDesk Server hosting and route your remote-desktop sessions through a rendezvous and relay you own instead of a public one. xCloud runs the pinned RustDesk Server 1.1.16 image as separate hbbs and hbbr roles, allocates the public ports, keeps the identity key pair on a persistent volume and prints the public key your clients need, all in minutes.

  • No terminal
  • No technical skills needed
  • No lock-in, cancel anytime

From Sign-Up to a Live Remote-Access Backend In Just 3 Easy Steps

A RustDesk backend normally means two roles, five ports, a key pair and a firewall plan before the first session. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

  1. Step 01

    Sign Up

    Create your xCloud account and pick RustDesk Server from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server. There is nothing else to fill in: the server generates its identity key pair on first start.

  2. Step 02

    We Deploy It For You

    One click. We bring up the official RustDesk Server 1.1.16 image, pinned by immutable digest, mount the rustdesk_data volume, and expose the NAT-test, rendezvous, relay and WebSocket ports on your server, with UDP on the rendezvous port.

  3. Step 03

    Point Your Clients At It

    Copy the public key printed by the installation task. In each trusted RustDesk client open Settings, Network, unlock it, and enter the Server Address, Relay Address and public key shown by xCloud. Test one direct and one relayed connection.

Everything RustDesk Server Does, On Your Own Server

RustDesk Server runs in full here: ID rendezvous, relay, NAT testing and the optional web-client sockets, with keys you hold.

  • Rendezvous And Relay

    hbbs matches clients by ID; hbbr relays when a direct connection is not possible.

  • Encrypted-Only Trust

    Clients must carry the server's public key; the private key never leaves the volume.

  • Official Image, Pinned

    The upstream rustdesk-server 1.1.16 image by immutable digest, no source build.

  • Web-Client Sockets

    Optional WebSocket ports for RustDesk's web client are allocated too.

  • Protocol Only

    No invented dashboard, database, privileged mode or Docker socket.

  • Identity On One Volume

    The Ed25519 key pair and runtime state persist on rustdesk_data.

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.

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

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.

Came from runcloud. Tried xcloud and never came back.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

What is RustDesk Server?

RustDesk Server is the open-source rendezvous and relay backend for self-hosted RustDesk remote desktop access, released under the AGPL-3.0 licence. This template deploys version 1.1.16.

Where do I find the public key later?

The base image has no shell, so use docker cp rather than docker exec: docker cp $(docker compose -p <site> ps -q hbbs):/root/id_ed25519.pub - from the site directory. The private key is never printed.

Which ports are open?

xCloud allocates external host ports for NAT testing, rendezvous, relay and the two WebSocket roles, mapped to RustDesk's internal 21115 to 21119, with UDP on the rendezvous port. They are publicly reachable, so keep only what you need open and restrict source networks with the server firewall where clients have stable addresses.

What happens if I lose the volume?

The identity keys are regenerated and every client must be reconfigured. Back up rustdesk_data with the service stopped and restore it before starting a replacement.

What does xCloud configure automatically?

The pinned RustDesk Server image as hbbs (ID and rendezvous) and hbbr (relay), allocated public TCP ports for NAT testing, rendezvous, relay and the web-client WebSockets, UDP on the rendezvous port, the rustdesk_data volume with the identity key pair, and encrypted-only client trust. This is a protocol-only data service: there is no web dashboard, domain or HTTPS proxy.

What should I back up?

The complete rustdesk_data volume with the service stopped: the Ed25519 identity key pair and runtime state. Restore it before starting the replacement service and verify the public key is unchanged.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update RustDesk Server?

No. The template pins RustDesk Server 1.1.16 by immutable digest; new installations use the pinned release, existing sites are not automatically upgraded. Back up first, read the upstream release notes, then update the image on your own schedule. Server-level backups and snapshots are available on every Cloud VPS.

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

The template manifest asks for 1 CPU core, 1 GiB of RAM and 5 GiB of disk as a floor for RustDesk Server. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, with real headroom above that floor.

What survives a restart?

Everything on rustdesk_data, because it is persistent named volume. Restarting the container does not touch that data.

Is xCloud officially partnered with RustDesk Server?

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