Swetrix Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy Swetrix hosting and run cookieless, privacy-friendly web analytics on your own server. xCloud runs the pinned Swetrix v5.4.1 Community Edition with ClickHouse for storage, Redis for cache and queues and a gateway that serves the dashboard and the tracker API on one domain, generates the internal secrets and publishes it over HTTPS. Register first, because the first account becomes the owner.

What is Swetrix?

Swetrix is a cookieless, privacy-first, open-source web analytics platform that upstream pitches as a privacy-respecting alternative to Google Analytics. It offers traffic stats, geolocation, custom events, sessions and funnels, performance monitoring and error tracking, with public or password-protected dashboards. Self-hosted Swetrix is the alternative to a hosted analytics service, under the AGPL-3.0 licence, and this template deploys the Community Edition.

On xCloud it is Swetrix v5.4.1 with ClickHouse 25.8 and Redis 8.6, pinned by digest, on the swetrix_clickhouse_data volume. Upstream marks session replays, network intelligence and Ask AI as Cloud features, so they are not here. The first sign-up becomes the owner and registration then closes. Sending events is public by design, while only signed-in users can read analytics, and teammates are invited by reopening registration briefly.

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

Self-hosting cookieless analytics normally means a gateway, ClickHouse, Redis and a race to claim the first account before anyone else does. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account, pick Swetrix from the OneClick catalog, and choose a domain. There are no extra fields — xCloud generates the signing secret, ClickHouse password and Redis password.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the pinned Swetrix v5.4.1 Community Edition images with ClickHouse and Redis wired automatically, and publish the dashboard and tracker API over one HTTPS gateway. The first start pulls about 1.5 GB of images and creates the analytics schema, up to 5 minutes.
Step 03
Register And Add The Tracking Script
Open the HTTPS Swetrix URL and register your account immediately — the first registration becomes the owner and closes sign-up. Create a project and add the tracking script, pointing it at the Tracker API URL.

Everything Swetrix Does, On Your Own Server

Swetrix Community Edition runs here — cookieless traffic, funnel and performance analytics, on infrastructure you control.

A Cookieless Alternative To Google Analytics
Replace a hosted analytics service with a self-hosted, cookieless, GDPR-oriented alternative that tracks top pages, geolocation, devices, traffic sources and UTM campaigns.
Custom Events, Sessions And Funnels
Measure conversions with custom events, sessions and funnels in the real-time dashboard.
Performance And Error Tracking, Together
Monitor real-user performance and capture client-side errors alongside traffic, in the same dashboard.
One Domain For Dashboard And Tracker
One HTTPS origin serves both the dashboard and the tracker API at /backend/, so the tracking snippet needs a single domain.
Closed Sign-Up After The Owner
The first account becomes the owner and registration then closes; reading analytics needs a signed-in user, while collecting events stays public by design.
Verified To Survive A Restart
Your users, projects and all analytics events on the ClickHouse volume survived an xCloud Restart in verification, with the account, project and both test events intact.

What You Can Do With Swetrix

Find where visitors drop off
Build funnels and review sessions and user flows to see which step loses people.
Catch front-end errors and slow pages
Capture client-side errors and real-user performance timings in the same dashboard as your traffic.
Keep analytics data in your own database
Store events in ClickHouse on your server, and export to CSV or read it through the developer API.

Swetrix vs Alternatives

Google Analytics: Upstream's comparison table sets Swetrix against Google Analytics 4 and Plausible. Swetrix is cookieless and open source, and a self-hosted copy stores events in ClickHouse on your own Cloud VPS.
Plausible: Plausible has its own OneClick page. Upstream says both are privacy-first and open source, and that Swetrix's difference is scope, bundling error tracking and performance monitoring.
Umami: Umami has its own OneClick page as another self-hosted, privacy-friendly analytics app. Swetrix bundles error tracking, performance monitoring and funnels with its traffic stats.
Matomo: Matomo has its own OneClick page as an established self-hosted analytics platform. Swetrix is cookieless, stores events in ClickHouse and collects them with one lightweight script.

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.

Can you self-host Swetrix with Docker?

Yes. Upstream documents self-hosting with Docker, and this template is Swetrix Docker hosting already assembled: the web, API, ClickHouse, Redis and gateway containers pinned by digest, one data volume and HTTPS. It is your own Swetrix cloud analytics, though it downloads about 1.5 GB at first start.

How much RAM does Swetrix need?

Swetrix requires 2048 MB of memory, 2 cores and 20 GB of storage; idle use on QA was about 0.8 GiB after restart. The starting point here is the 6 GB plan, with headroom for what the app itself needs.

Is Swetrix free?

The Community Edition is AGPL-3.0 software with no fee, provided legal notices are preserved and source is offered for modified deployed versions. xCloud bills the Cloud VPS, which you can cancel whenever you wish. Events and users stay in ClickHouse on your own server.

How do I sign in to Swetrix the first time?

There is no default account. Open the site URL and register; the first account becomes the owner and sign-up then closes, which QA verified by a refused second registration. Register right away, because until then anyone who can reach the address could claim the instance.

Can anyone send analytics events to my Swetrix project?

Yes, by design: anyone who knows a project ID and your Tracker API URL can send page views to it. Only signed-in users can read the analytics, so the data is not exposed. Do not treat event counts as authenticated, and filter obvious spam.

Can I put Basic Auth on the whole Swetrix domain?

No. Do not put Basic Auth on the whole domain, because it would block the tracker: the dashboard and the tracker API share one HTTPS origin. Restrict access to the dashboard by keeping registration closed, and invite teammates deliberately.

Does the Swetrix Community Edition include everything in Swetrix Cloud?

No. Upstream marks some features, such as session replays, network intelligence and Ask AI, as Cloud features. The Community Edition ships the core analytics, events, sessions, funnels, performance and error tracking. Check upstream's list before you depend on a specific feature.

How do I get Swetrix password-reset and invitation emails?

They only work after you add SMTP_HOST and SMTP_PORT in the Environment editor and redeploy. To invite teammates, set DISABLE_REGISTRATION to false, redeploy, let them register, then set it back to true so strangers cannot create accounts.

How do I back up Swetrix?

Back up the swetrix_clickhouse_data volume, which holds all users, projects and events, together with the stable environment values. Stop the stack first for a consistent copy, or use ClickHouse's own backup tooling, and test a restore on a spare server.

Backups in xCloud

How do I upgrade Swetrix?

The install stays on pinned v5.4.1 until you adopt a newer template version. Back up ClickHouse, read the Swetrix release notes, then redeploy, sign in and open a project. Existing sites are never upgraded automatically.

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.
