Statamic Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Statamic hosting for people who want a flat-file CMS with a visual control panel and no database to run. Deploy Statamic Core 6.33.0 as a self-hosted flat-file CMS built on Laravel: xCloud brings up the pinned, maintainer-packaged image, generates your first administrator and a stable APP_KEY, keeps content on one persistent volume and puts it behind HTTPS on your own domain.

What is Statamic?

Self-hosted Statamic is a flat-file CMS. Its README calls it the flat-first, Laravel and Git powered CMS designed for building beautiful, easy to manage websites, and the template describes a visual control panel, flexible content models and asset management. Teams choose it when they want content on disk rather than in a database service, and a Laravel codebase. It is not open source: its licence has conditions you should read.

On xCloud the template runs Statamic Core 6.33.0 as one Apache and PHP container, a maintainer-owned package pinned by immutable digest, with no external database. The statamic_data volume holds content, users, resources, config and assets. xCloud generates the first administrator and a stable APP_KEY, and publishes the site and control panel over HTTPS on your domain. Only the free Core feature set ships.

From Sign-Up to a Live Statamic Site In Just 3 Easy Steps

Self-hosting Statamic normally means a PHP runtime, Composer, an APP_KEY, a domain and a certificate before the control panel even loads. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Statamic from the OneClick catalog. Enter a site title, domain and your administrator email.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the pinned Statamic Core 6.33.0 image, generate your administrator password and a stable APP_KEY, and publish the control panel over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Start Publishing
Sign in at /cp with the generated administrator credentials and start building Collections, Blueprints and content.

Everything Statamic Core Does, On Your Own Server

Statamic Core runs in full here — a flat-file Laravel CMS with a real control panel, on infrastructure you control.

Visual Control Panel
A real admin interface for Collections, Blueprints, Fieldsets, navigation and assets — not a folder of Markdown you edit by hand.
Flat-File By Default
Content lives on disk rather than in a database service, so there is nothing extra to provision, patch or lose sync with.
Laravel Underneath
Built on Laravel 13, so the templating, routing and ecosystem conventions are the same ones Laravel developers already know.
Built-In Asset Management
Upload, browse and organize images and files from the control panel without wiring up a separate media library.
Backed By A Volume
Content, users, resources, config and assets all live on one persistent volume that survives a restart.
Free For One Site
Core covers one administrator and one content form at no license cost — the same free tier statamic.dev/licensing documents.

What You Can Do With Statamic

Run a brochure or marketing site
Build pages and collections in the control panel and publish them from a flat-file site with no database service to patch, on a Cloud VPS you control.
Give editors a visual control panel
Let non-developers edit Collections, navigation and assets in the control panel at /cp, while developers shape the content model with Blueprints and Fieldsets.
Work in Laravel without a CMS database
Teams who know Laravel can use its templating and routing conventions on a CMS whose content is kept on disk, with one volume to back up and restore.
Try Core before buying Pro
Start on the free Core edition with one administrator and one content form, and decide later whether you need Pro features that this template deliberately leaves disabled.

Statamic vs Alternatives

WordPress: If you run WordPress today, note that Statamic is flat-first, per its README, keeping content on disk with a Laravel codebase, and this template runs one container with no database service.
Ghost: Ghost has its own xCloud page. Statamic is a general flat-file CMS with Collections and Blueprints for modelling content other than posts.
Grav: Grav has its own xCloud page. Statamic is built on Laravel with a visual control panel, and its licence is not open source, so read it before you choose.
Directus: Directus has its own xCloud page. In this template Statamic's REST and GraphQL APIs are disabled, so Statamic here is not an API-first backend.

Statamic Core is free for one administrator and one content form under statamic.dev/licensing; this is the managed server it runs on. The template manifest asks for 1024 MB of RAM, 1 CPU core and 5 GB of disk as a conservative small-site floor. This page sells the 6 GB tier, leaving real headroom above it. Every size is a dedicated Cloud VPS we provision, patch, monitor and restore.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

How much RAM does Statamic need?

Statamic's manifest floor is one core, a gigabyte of RAM and 5 GB of disk, which it calls a conservative small-site baseline rather than a load certification. The 6 GB Cloud VPS sold here sits above it, since the template notes that media growth and traffic need additional sizing.

Is Statamic open source?

No. The LICENSE.md at the v6.33.0 tag grants use, copying and modification under conditions, including that each licensed copy runs in no more than one production environment and that licensing features are not altered. It is not an open-source licence, so read it before relying on it.

Is Statamic free to use?

Statamic Core is free for one administrator and one content form, per statamic.dev/licensing, and that is all this template runs. Pro features need a paid Statamic licence you obtain from Statamic. xCloud charges only for the dedicated Cloud VPS and the deployment around it.

Can you run Statamic with Docker?

Yes, and this is Statamic Docker hosting prepared for you: the template runs one Apache and PHP container, ghcr.io/neobuilds/statamic 6.33.0-xcloud.3, pinned by immutable digest, with the statamic_data volume mounted at /data and HTTPS in front on your domain.

Does Statamic need a database?

No. Statamic is flat-first, and this template runs no database or cache service: content, users, configuration and assets live on disk on the statamic_data volume. That leaves one container and one volume to back up, instead of an application plus a separate database server.

What is the difference between Statamic Core and Pro?

This template runs Core only. Pro-only features, including revisions, the GraphQL API, the REST API, Git-based content and multi-site and team capabilities, are explicitly disabled in the shipped environment. Only the free Core feature set is available, with one administrator and one content form.

Does Statamic send password-reset email out of the box?

No. The shipped configuration logs mail instead of sending it, so password-reset and form-notification email do not work until you configure a real SMTP provider. Until then, recover access from a known-good backup, and keep the APP_KEY and data volume copies together.

What should I back up on a Statamic server?

A backup is the whole statamic_data volume, which holds content, users, resources, config, storage and assets in one place, together with your APP_KEY, kept securely and separately. Stop the application first, because a partial or mismatched-time snapshot is not supported.

Backups in xCloud

How do I upgrade Statamic?

Nothing upgrades it for you: the image is pinned at 6.33.0 by immutable digest. Review the release notes, take a coordinated data-volume backup, then move to a newer template version when one is published. An image change alone cannot reverse a content migration, so keep that backup.

Is the Statamic container image official?

No. The image is maintainer-owned packaging of upstream Statamic Core, not an official Statamic image, and no partnership or endorsement between xCloud and Statamic has been verified. It runs the CMS as www-data with the first administrator created before HTTP starts.

Is this Statamic cloud hosting?

It is your own Statamic on a dedicated Cloud VPS that xCloud provisions, not a hosted Statamic service. The container, the data volume and the administrator account belong to your install, and the control panel at /cp is served over HTTPS on your domain.

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.
