Saleor Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Saleor hosting gives your storefront a commerce backend you run yourself: Saleor's GraphQL API and its admin Dashboard on two HTTPS domains. Deploy Saleor 3.23.41 as a self-hosted headless commerce platform: xCloud wires the Dashboard to the API, sets up CORS, generates the administrator password, and runs PostgreSQL, Valkey and a background worker with persistent media. No storefront is included; you bring your own.

What is Saleor?

Self-hosted Saleor is a headless commerce platform. Its README calls it a GraphQL-native, API-only platform for scalable composable commerce, with native multichannel control of pricing, currencies and stock per channel, extended through webhooks, apps and metadata. Teams use it behind a storefront they build, as a self-hosted alternative to Shopify, and it is BSD-3-Clause licensed.

On xCloud the template runs the saleor 3.23.41 API and a Celery worker, the Saleor Dashboard 3.23.39, an nginx media gateway, PostgreSQL 15 and Valkey 8.1, each image pinned by immutable digest. The saleor_postgres, saleor_media and saleor_keys volumes persist your data. The API and Dashboard get their own HTTPS domains, already wired together, and there is no storefront and no email until you configure them.

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

Self-hosting headless commerce normally means a database, a cache, a background worker, a media gateway and a wired-together admin domain before a single product can be created. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account, pick Saleor from the OneClick catalog, select a domain for the API and one for the Dashboard, and enter the administrator email.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the pinned Saleor 3.23.41 API, the 3.23.39 Dashboard, a Celery worker, PostgreSQL 15 and Valkey, generate the administrator password, database password and Django secret key, and apply the database migrations.
Step 03
Sign In And Configure Your Store
Open the HTTPS Dashboard URL and sign in with the administrator email and generated password, change the password from the account menu, adjust the Default Channel (USD), then add a warehouse, a shipping zone and your products.

Everything Saleor Does, On Your Own Server

Saleor runs in full here — the headless GraphQL commerce API and its Dashboard, on infrastructure you control.

A Headless Commerce Backend For Any Storefront
One GraphQL API for products, variants, multi-channel pricing, warehouses, checkout, orders and promotions, for any storefront stack you build.
Dashboard On Its Own Domain, Already Wired In
The Saleor Dashboard runs on its own domain and is already pointed at the API, with the API accepting browser calls from the Dashboard origin.
Bring Your Own Storefront
Add a storefront or app origin through two environment keys — EXTRA_GRAPHQL_ORIGINS and EXTRA_CLIENT_HOSTS — without touching the domain-managed lines.
Background Jobs Included
A Celery worker with the beat scheduler handles webhooks, emails, thumbnails and scheduled tasks.
Extend Through Apps And Webhooks
Install Saleor apps — for example payment apps — from the Dashboard's Apps section to extend checkout and order flows.
Restart-Safe Catalog, Media And Sessions
After an xCloud Restart, catalog and orders, uploaded product images and thumbnails, signed-in sessions and the JWT signing key are all kept.

What You Can Do With Saleor

Power a custom storefront
Build the storefront in the framework you prefer and let it call Saleor's GraphQL API for products, variants, checkout and orders, with the backend on a Cloud VPS you control.
Sell in several channels and currencies
Use per-channel pricing, currencies and stock to run separate storefronts or markets from one catalogue, managed by your team in the Dashboard.
Extend checkout with apps and webhooks
Install payment or other apps from the Dashboard's Apps section and react to events through webhooks, without patching the core, as the README's API-first design intends.
Run a team catalogue back office
Give merchandisers a Dashboard on its own domain to manage products, warehouses, shipping zones and orders, while developers work against the API.

Saleor vs Alternatives

Shopify: Choose Saleor as a Shopify alternative when you want to run the backend yourself. Saleor is a BSD-3-Clause, API-only backend that you run yourself, so the catalogue, orders and keys sit on your own server and the storefront is yours to build.
Bagisto: Bagisto has its own xCloud template. Saleor is headless and this template ships no storefront, so choose it when you want a backend for your own front end rather than a finished shop.
Spree Commerce: Spree Commerce has its own xCloud template. Saleor's README stresses a GraphQL-only API with native multichannel, so compare the API style your storefront needs.
WooCommerce: WooCommerce has its own xCloud template. Saleor's defining trait is being API-only: its README says APIs are the only way to interact, configure or extend the backend.

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!

Brian Geovanny

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

How much RAM does Saleor need?

Saleor's manifest floor is 2 CPU cores, 2048 MB of RAM and 10 GB of disk, shared by six containers: the API, a Celery worker, a media gateway, the Dashboard, PostgreSQL and Valkey. The 6 GB Cloud VPS sold on this page leaves comfortable room above that floor.

Is Saleor free and open source?

Yes. The Saleor repository carries a BSD-3-Clause LICENSE at the 3.23.41 tag, and its README describes a single open-source version without feature fragmentation or commercial limitations. xCloud charges for the dedicated Cloud VPS; the catalogue, orders and customers stay in your own volumes.

Can you run Saleor with Docker?

Yes, and this is Saleor Docker hosting prepared for you: the template runs the saleor 3.23.41 API and worker, the Dashboard 3.23.39, nginx, PostgreSQL 15 and Valkey 8.1, all pinned by immutable digest, with saleor_postgres, saleor_media and saleor_keys volumes and HTTPS on two domains.

Does Saleor include a storefront?

No. Saleor is headless and API-only by design, and its reference storefront is a separate Next.js app. Deploy your storefront on its own and point it at the API domain, then add its origin to EXTRA_GRAPHQL_ORIGINS and its host to EXTRA_CLIENT_HOSTS, and redeploy.

Does Saleor support multiple channels and currencies?

Yes. Saleor's README describes native multichannel: per-channel control of pricing, currencies, stock and product. The install starts with a Default Channel in USD, which you adjust under Configuration before adding a warehouse, a shipping zone and your products.

Does Saleor send usage telemetry?

Yes, by upstream default Saleor sends anonymous usage telemetry. Turn it off by setting SEND_USAGE_TELEMETRY=False in the Environment editor and redeploying. The template does not change that default, so decide before you take the shop into production.

Does Saleor send order emails out of the box?

No. No mail server is configured by default, so order confirmation and password-reset emails need EMAIL_URL set to your SMTP service and a redeploy, or Saleor's SMTP and user-email plugins configured, before you rely on them for customers.

What should I back up on a Saleor server?

A backup needs all three volumes together: saleor_postgres for catalogue, customers and orders, saleor_media for product images and thumbnails, and saleor_keys for the JWT signing key. Losing that key signs everyone out and installed apps must refetch the public key.

Backups in xCloud

How do I upgrade Saleor?

Nothing upgrades it for you: the API is pinned at 3.23.41 and the Dashboard at 3.23.39 by immutable digest. Back up all three volumes, read the release notes, then adopt a newer template version when one is published; the API applies migrations on start. Keep SECRET_KEY unchanged.

How do I sign in to the Saleor Dashboard?

Open the Dashboard URL from your installation credentials and sign in with the administrator email you entered and the generated password, then change it from the account menu. The first boot applies migrations, so allow a few minutes before the API answers.

Is this Saleor cloud hosting?

It is your own Saleor on a dedicated Cloud VPS that xCloud provisions, not a hosted commerce service. The six containers, the three volumes and the administrator account belong to your install, with the API and Dashboard served over HTTPS on their own domains.

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.
