Slash Hosting Live In 5 Minutes
Run your own Slash bookmark manager and short-link workspace on infrastructure you control, instead of trusting your team's links to someone else's server. xCloud configures the pinned Slash 0.5.3 image, its persistent data volume and the HTTPS reverse proxy in minutes, so you're creating the first account and shortening your first link right after the domain resolves.
- No terminal
- No technical skills needed
- No lock-in, cancel anytime
From Sign-Up to a Live Bookmark Workspace In Just 3 Easy Steps
Self-hosting a bookmark and short-link service normally means a container, a data volume, a reverse proxy, a domain and a certificate before a single shortcut works. This is the same result without assembling any of it.
Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Slash from the OneClick catalog. Enter a site title and choose a domain — there are no other fields to fill in.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the official Slash 0.5.3 image pinned by immutable digest, mount the slash_data volume at /var/opt/slash, and publish the web interface over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Create Your Account And Your First Shortcut
Open your HTTPS URL, create the first account through Slash's own signup screen, then immediately open Workspace settings and disable additional signup unless you intentionally want public registration. Add a bookmark, tag it, and confirm its short URL redirects correctly.
Everything Slash Does, On Your Own Server
Slash runs in full here — bookmarks, short links, tags, collections and team sharing, on infrastructure you control.
Bookmark And Short-Link Manager
Save bookmarks and generate custom short URLs from a single, browser-based workspace instead of a scattered mix of tools.
Tags And Collections
Organize saved links with tags and group them into collections so a growing library stays easy to browse and search.
Team Link Sharing
Share bookmarks and short links through the same workspace so a team works from one shared library instead of individual browser bookmarks.
Self-Service Account Creation
Create the first account yourself through Slash's own signup flow right after your domain resolves — then close signup once your workspace is set up.
Embedded SQLite Database
Accounts, shortcuts, tags and collections live in Slash's own embedded database, inside the same persistent volume as the application.
Persistent Application State
The full slash_data volume — database and application state together — survives a restart, so nothing resets when the container recreates.

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 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.
Jay PaganoHow Newman Web Solutions Ensured Perfect Uptime and Seamless Scaling For 120+ WordPress Sites with xCloud
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.
Blaine MooreFrequently Asked Questions
Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.
What is Slash?
Slash is a free, open-source bookmark manager and short-link platform — custom short URLs, tags, collections and team link sharing from a browser-based workspace. This template deploys version 0.5.3.
Is Slash free?
Yes — it is free and open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3 (AGPL-3.0). What you pay xCloud for is the dedicated server it runs on and the management around it, not the software itself.
Can I self-host Slash bookmark manager?
Yes — that is exactly what this template deploys. It brings up the official Slash image pinned by immutable digest, mounts its persistent data volume, and publishes the web interface over HTTPS on your domain in minutes instead of assembled by hand.
Who becomes the administrator, and how do I sign in?
There is no xCloud-generated account for Slash. Open your HTTPS URL after installation and create the first account yourself through Slash's own signup screen — that account is the one you sign in with going forward.
Is public signup open by default?
Yes, until you turn it off. Slash allows anyone to create the first account through the signup flow. Immediately after creating your own account, open Workspace settings and disable additional signup unless you intentionally want your workspace to accept public registrations.
What does xCloud configure automatically?
The pinned Slash container, its persistent slash_data volume, the domain and the HTTPS route. There are no installation-time fields to fill in beyond a site title and domain, and no credentials for xCloud to generate — account creation happens inside Slash itself.
Does Slash need a separate database?
No. Slash embeds its own SQLite database inside the same container, stored on the slash_data volume at /var/opt/slash alongside the rest of its application state. There is no separate database container to manage or expose.
What should I back up?
The complete slash_data volume, which holds Slash's SQLite database (slash_prod.db) and all application state under /var/opt/slash — accounts, shortcuts, tags and collections. For a consistent backup, stop writes or use an SQLite-aware snapshot before copying the volume.
Does xCloud automatically back up or update Slash?
No. The template pins Slash by immutable image digest; a catalog re-sync affects new installations only. Before changing the pin, back up the full volume, review upstream release notes, update the image, then verify sign-in, workspace signup policy, shortcuts and redirects.
What are the server requirements, and why does this page sell 6 GB?
The template manifest asks for 256 MB of RAM, one CPU core and 2 GB of disk as a floor — Slash is a light, single-container app. This page sells the 6 GB tier as comfortable headroom above that floor, with room for a growing bookmark library, tags, collections and link analytics history.
What survives a restart?
Everything on slash_data, because it is a persistent named volume. Restarting the container does not touch your accounts, shortcuts, tags or collections.
Is xCloud officially partnered with Slash or yourselfhosted?
No. No official partnership or endorsement between xCloud and the Slash project or yourselfhosted has been verified. This is a deployment and server-management option for the open-source Slash 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.
