BUILT FOR WORDPRESS

A Panel That Knows It Is Running WordPress

Generic server panels stop at the server. These are the jobs that only matter because the thing on the box is WordPress — and they are included at every paid rate, not sold as a higher tier.

  • Core, plugin and theme updates

    Update WordPress core, plugins and themes across every site you run, in bulk, from one screen — with automatic security updates on if you want them.

  • Staging with pull and push

    Branch a real copy of a live site, work on it, then push it back — or pull production down over staging. Files, database and server config travel together.

  • Demo sites in one click

    Spin up a complete copy of a site on a free test domain to show a client, try a plugin or rehearse a migration, without touching the live one.

  • Incremental site backups

    Back up to your own storage on a schedule and restore a single site — incrementally, so a nightly backup does not re-upload the whole site every night.

  • Vulnerability scanning

    Every plugin and theme checked against known vulnerabilities, with the 7G and 8G firewall rulesets and Fail2Ban in front of the site.

  • Your team, and your clients

    Invite teammates with roles that control which servers and sites they reach, white-label the panel, and give a client access to one site and nothing else.

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.

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.

Talk To Us
How is self-managed hosting different from managed hosting?

With xCloud managed you pay us for hosting and the platform in one place, and you get exclusive extras like server resize and server backup. With self-managed you pay your own provider for the server and xCloud charges $5 per server per month for management, dropping to $3 per server once you pass 10. All other features are the same.

What do I need to start using xCloud's self-managed hosting?

Just integrate your server provider — such as DigitalOcean, GCP, or Hetzner — using our built-in integration method. You can also connect servers from any other provider.

Can I try xCloud for free?

Yes. xCloud offers a free plan where you can manage 1 server and up to 10 WordPress sites. Plus, there's a 14-day money-back guarantee on paid plans.

What server types and stacks does xCloud support?

xCloud supports a wide range of software stacks including NGINX, OpenLiteSpeed (OLS), MySQL and MariaDB. It also works with ARM servers, making it flexible for various server architectures and setups.

Is it possible to migrate an existing WordPress site to xCloud?

Absolutely. xCloud provides free migration for unlimited websites. Our free migration plugin allows for a smoother transfer from your current host.

What security features does xCloud offer?

xCloud includes enterprise-grade security, such as Fail2Ban, firewall management, SSL certificates, automatic backups, vulnerability alerts, site isolation and regular software security updates to keep your server and sites safe.

xCloud makes team collaboration easy with features that allow you to add team members, assign roles, and set detailed access permissions — all in just a few clicks from your control panel.
