What is TimescaleDB?

TimescaleDB is a PostgreSQL extension for high-performance real-time analytics on time-series and event data. It adds hypertables and time-oriented query functions to ordinary PostgreSQL tables, so you keep SQL and the PostgreSQL ecosystem. Run on your own server it is a self-hosted TimescaleDB, a time-series database and the alternative to a managed service such as Tiger Cloud, here in its Apache 2 Edition, so you choose the roles, firewall rules and backups yourself.

On xCloud it is one container, timescale/timescaledb 2.29.1-pg17-oss pinned by digest, on PostgreSQL 17. The generated user, password and database sit on the timescaledb_data volume, and container port 5432 is published on a host port. The -oss image excludes Timescale License features, and PostgreSQL TLS is not configured, and ingest rate, retention and query load decide how large a server you need.

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

A TimescaleDB server normally means the right image edition, generated credentials, a tuned PostgreSQL, a data volume and a published port before the first hypertable. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick TimescaleDB from the OneClick catalog. Choose a server; the install form has no fields because xCloud generates the PostgreSQL user, password and database name.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We start timescale/timescaledb 2.29.1-pg17-oss, the Apache 2 Edition image pinned by digest, mount timescaledb_data, tune it to 1 GB and 1 CPU, turn telemetry off and publish container port 5432 on a host port.
Step 03
Create A Hypertable
Copy the PostgreSQL URI from the credentials and connect with psql. Create a table with a time column, convert it with create_hypertable, insert a row and query it. Restrict the port to your clients first.

Everything TimescaleDB Does, On Your Own Server

TimescaleDB 2.29.1 runs here as PostgreSQL 17 plus the Apache 2 Edition extension, with the cluster on a volume you own.

PostgreSQL Extension
TimescaleDB is a PostgreSQL extension, so you keep SQL, your existing drivers and tools, and ordinary tables beside your time-series data.
Hypertables
Turn a table with a time column into a hypertable with create_hypertable, the structure TimescaleDB uses for time-series and event data.
Time-Oriented Query Functions
Use TimescaleDB's functions for time-based queries in plain SQL, instead of a separate query language or a second database to learn.
Apache 2 Edition Only
The image is the -oss build, so Timescale License features are excluded. Do not expect compression policies or continuous aggregates.
Generated Credentials
xCloud generates the user, password and database name, and shows a copyable PostgreSQL URI, so no default password is ever left in place.
Persistent Cluster
The full PostgreSQL cluster lives on the timescaledb_data volume, and tuning is bounded to 1 GB of RAM and 1 CPU at first start.

What You Can Do With TimescaleDB

Store sensor and IoT readings as hypertables
Write device readings into a hypertable keyed by time and query them with SQL, on a server you control instead of a metered metrics service.
Keep metrics beside relational data
Join time-series rows to ordinary PostgreSQL tables such as devices or customers in one SQL query, in the same database.
Back a dashboard with plain SQL
Point Grafana or another PostgreSQL client at the published port and chart time-bucketed queries, with the data staying on your own volume.
Move off a managed time-series service
Dump data from a hosted instance, restore it into your own PostgreSQL 17 server and switch your applications to the new host and port.

TimescaleDB vs Alternatives

Tiger Cloud: If you are weighing a hosted TimescaleDB service, here you run the Apache 2 Edition image yourself on your own server and handle the firewall, TLS, backups and upgrades.
InfluxDB: If you are choosing a time-series database, TimescaleDB is a PostgreSQL extension, so you query it in SQL and can join time-series data to relational tables.
ClickHouse: Also available as its own OneClick app; TimescaleDB's side of the comparison is PostgreSQL 17 with hypertables and time-oriented query functions in plain SQL.
VictoriaMetrics: Also available as its own OneClick app; TimescaleDB is a general PostgreSQL database that also holds time-series tables beside relational ones.

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 I run TimescaleDB in Docker?

Yes, and this template is TimescaleDB Docker hosting without the compose file: the timescale/timescaledb 2.29.1-pg17-oss image pinned by digest, one container, the timescaledb_data volume and port 5432 published on a host port. The official image initialises TimescaleDB in the generated database.

How much RAM does TimescaleDB need?

The template baseline is 1 GB of RAM, 1 CPU core and 5 GB of disk, with tuning bounded to 1 GB and 1 CPU. Ingest rate, retention and query concurrency set real sizing. This page sells the 6 GB tier, but tuning does not grow by itself.

How do I connect to a self-hosted TimescaleDB?

Copy the PostgreSQL URI from the credentials panel, or use the host, allocated port, database, username and password shown beside it, with psql or any PostgreSQL driver. The port is the published host port, not 5432, and TLS is not configured.

What is a hypertable?

A hypertable is the table structure TimescaleDB uses for time-series data. Create an ordinary table with a time column, then call create_hypertable on it, as the template's smoke test does, and insert and query rows with normal SQL.

Is TimescaleDB free?

This template uses the Apache 2 Edition, released under Apache-2.0, so the software costs nothing to run. The -oss image excludes features under the Timescale License. Your plan pays for the dedicated Cloud VPS and not for the database.

What is the difference between TimescaleDB and InfluxDB?

TimescaleDB is a PostgreSQL extension queried in SQL, so you can join time-series tables to relational ones and keep PostgreSQL tools. InfluxDB is a separate time-series database. This page makes no performance comparison, and this edition omits Timescale License features.

Is the TimescaleDB database exposed to the internet?

Yes: the port is bound to 0.0.0.0, so anyone with the credentials who can reach the server can connect. Restrict it to trusted client IPs with your firewall. PostgreSQL TLS is not configured, so use a VPN or an SSH tunnel across untrusted networks.

Configure firewall management

How do I back up TimescaleDB?

Back up the timescaledb_data volume, which holds the full PostgreSQL cluster, and take logical backups with pg_dump or pg_dumpall before upgrades. Nothing schedules the backup for you, so run it yourself and test a restore on a spare install.

Backup and restore Docker apps

How do I upgrade TimescaleDB?

Nothing upgrades itself: 2.29.1 on PostgreSQL 17 is pinned by digest. To upgrade, back up the volume and take a pg_dump, review both TimescaleDB and PostgreSQL release notes, then adopt a newer TimescaleDB template version when xCloud publishes one.

Can I change the generated password later?

Not through the environment. POSTGRES_USER, POSTGRES_PASSWORD, POSTGRES_DB and the tuning settings only initialise an empty data directory, so editing them later does not rotate credentials. Change roles with SQL and create least-privilege roles per application.

Is this a TimescaleDB cloud service?

It is TimescaleDB on a dedicated Cloud VPS under your xCloud login, a TimescaleDB cloud of your own with one container and no managed failover. It is not Tiger Cloud, and your plan can be resized as the dataset grows.

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.
