SSHwifty Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy SSHwifty hosting on infrastructure you control, instead of installing a local SSH client on every machine you administer. xCloud configures the pinned SSHwifty 0.4.11-beta-release image, a generated web-access password, a runtime allowlist locked to the one SSH destination you declare, and the HTTPS reverse proxy in minutes, ready for you to open a terminal from any browser.

From Sign-Up to a Live Browser SSH Session In Just 3 Easy Steps

Self-hosting a browser SSH gateway normally means a container, a generated web password, a locked-down destination allowlist, a domain and a certificate before a single session opens. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

  1. Step 01

    Sign Up

    Create your xCloud account and pick SSHwifty from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and enter the single SSH hostname or IP address and port this deployment may reach — the web-access password is generated automatically.

  2. Step 02

    We Deploy It For You

    One click. We bring up the upstream SSHwifty 0.4.11-beta-release image, pinned by immutable digest, generate the runtime configuration that enables only your declared SSH preset and disables arbitrary host entry, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.

  3. Step 03

    Sign In And Connect

    Save the generated web-access password, open the HTTPS URL, select the configured SSH target, verify the remote host fingerprint, and authenticate with that server's own SSH credentials.

Everything SSHwifty Does, On Your Own Server

SSHwifty runs in full here — a browser terminal to one approved destination, on infrastructure you control.

  • Browser-Based SSH Terminal

    Reach an SSH server from a modern browser without installing a local client on every machine you administer.

  • One Approved Destination Per Deployment

    The generated configuration enables only the SSH host and port you declare, with arbitrary host entry disabled by default.

  • Familiar SSH Authentication

    Sign in with the destination server's own SSH username, private key, password or keyboard-interactive authentication.

  • Generated Web-Access Password

    xCloud generates the password that protects SSHwifty's web interface, published only over managed HTTPS.

  • Stateless By Design

    SSHwifty stores no remote credentials or files — the destination server stays the authority for its own accounts, data and backups.

  • Reproducible Deployment

    The rendered environment and xCloud site configuration together are the deployment state, ready to recreate the same web password and destination policy.

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

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 SSHwifty?

SSHwifty is an open-source, self-hosted web SSH client that opens a browser-based terminal to a remote server. This template deploys the 0.4.11-beta-release build.

Is SSHwifty free, and what license is it under?

Yes — SSHwifty is free and open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 (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 SSHwifty?

Yes — that is exactly what this template deploys. It brings up the upstream SSHwifty image, pinned by immutable digest, generates a web-access password and a fail-closed destination allowlist, and publishes it over HTTPS on your domain in minutes instead of assembled by hand.

Does SSHwifty store my remote server's files?

No. It provides the browser SSH session only; the remote SSH server you connect to remains responsible for its own files, accounts and backups.

Can users connect to any SSH host?

No. This OneClick template exposes exactly one predefined destination, declared at install time, and keeps arbitrary host entry disabled.

Where are SSH credentials entered?

After opening SSHwifty and selecting the configured target, you provide the destination server's own SSH username and supported authentication material inside the active client session — nothing is stored as template configuration.

What does xCloud configure automatically?

The pinned SSHwifty image, a generated web-access password, a runtime configuration that enables only your declared SSH preset, the domain and the HTTPS route.

What should I back up?

The rendered xCloud environment and site configuration together, so the same web password and destination policy can be recreated. Back up accounts and files on the destination server itself, separately, using that server's own process.

Does xCloud automatically update SSHwifty?

No. The template pins the upstream image by immutable digest; a catalog re-sync affects new installations only. Review upstream release notes before changing the pinned image, and verify access and allowlist behavior afterward.

How should I treat the generated web-access password?

Treat SSHwifty as a privileged outbound access surface. Declare only a destination you intend to administer, verify its host fingerprint before authenticating, and rotate the generated web-access password if it is ever exposed.

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

The template manifest asks for 1 CPU core, 1 GB of RAM and 2 GB of disk as a floor for SSHwifty. Per xCloud's own sizing rule, a manifest floor at or under 2 GB sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, with real headroom above that floor.

What survives a restart?

SSHwifty itself is stateless, so there is no application data to lose on restart. The rendered environment and xCloud site configuration reproduce the same web password and destination policy every time.

Is xCloud officially partnered with SSHwifty?

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