Umami Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy Umami hosting and run self-hosted web analytics on a dedicated Cloud VPS you own, so visitor data stays on your server instead of with an analytics vendor. xCloud provisions the server, the domain and the HTTPS certificate and brings Umami up with its database. You sign in, add your website and paste the tracking snippet into it, and the numbers start landing on infrastructure you control.

What is Umami?

Self-hosted Umami is a privacy-first analytics platform. Its README describes traffic, campaigns, behavior, conversions and revenue in one place, with no cookies and no surveillance, and it can run self-hosted or in Umami's own cloud. It needs Node.js and a PostgreSQL database, and it is released under the MIT licence. It stands in for a hosted analytics account such as Google Analytics, so visitor data stays on a server you own.

On xCloud, Umami runs on a dedicated Cloud VPS that xCloud provisions, with the domain and HTTPS certificate set up for you. There is no template manifest for this app, so this page quotes no version, image or sizing floor, and you own the Umami configuration, your websites and the data inside it. This page covers the self-hosted route only, not Umami Cloud.

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

Self-hosting Umami normally means containers, a database, a domain and a certificate before anything works. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

  1. Step 01

    Sign Up

    Create your xCloud account and pick Umami from the OneClick catalog. Takes 30 seconds — no server to prepare.

  2. Step 02

    We Deploy It For You

    One click. We provision the server, bring Umami and its supporting services up, and handle the domain and SSL certificate.

  3. Step 03

    Start Using It

    Open your domain, sign in, add your site and paste the tracking snippet into it. Your analytics start on your own server.

Cookieless Analytics, Umami On Your Own Server

Umami runs in full here, with the visitor data on infrastructure you control.

  • Privacy-first analytics

    Built around not tracking individuals, so you get the numbers you need without a pile of personal data to look after.

  • Cookie-free

    Upstream describes Umami as analytics with no cookies and no surveillance, so measuring visits does not depend on setting cookies.

  • Self-hosted

    Your instance, your database. Visitor data never leaves your own server or passes through a third-party analytics vendor.

  • Many sites, one dashboard

    Upstream lets you track more than one website from a single install, so one server can cover your whole portfolio.

  • Lightweight tracking script

    Upstream ships a tracking script you add to your pages, and the visits it records land in the database on your own server.

  • Your data, your export

    The data sits in a database on your server, so there is no vendor export process to go through if you want it elsewhere.

What You Can Do With Umami

  • Keep visitor data on your own server

    The analytics database sits on your Cloud VPS, so no third-party analytics vendor holds your visitors' data.

  • Cover several websites from one install

    Add more than one website to a single Umami install and switch between them in one dashboard.

  • Report on campaigns and conversions

    Follow campaigns, behavior and conversions, the measures the README lists, without sending the data to a hosted service.

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.

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

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.

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.

Is Umami a good Google Analytics alternative?

Umami's README presents it as a privacy-first analytics platform covering traffic, campaigns, behavior, conversions and revenue without cookies. Whether it fits depends on the reports you need, so compare it with your current setup on a test site first.

Does Umami use cookies?

Upstream describes Umami as cookie-free, with no cookies and no surveillance. Whether you still need a consent banner depends on your jurisdiction and on what else your site does, so review your own obligations rather than relying on this page.

How do I add the Umami tracking script to my site?

Sign in, add your website in the dashboard and copy the tracking snippet it gives you into your pages. Then open your site once and check the visit appears in the dashboard. Test on one page before rolling the script out everywhere.

Umami vs Plausible: which should I choose?

Umami's README describes privacy-first, cookie-free analytics covering traffic, campaigns, behavior, conversions and revenue, and Plausible has its own xCloud page. Try each against the reports and goals you need, and pick the one your team will actually use.

Plausible Analytics hosting

Which database does Umami use?

Upstream lists a PostgreSQL database as a requirement, alongside Node.js. On xCloud the server and its supporting services are provisioned for you, and the analytics data lives in that database on your own Cloud VPS rather than with a third party.

Can I self-host Umami with Docker?

Yes. Upstream provides Docker images and a compose file, and this is Umami Docker hosting prepared for you: xCloud provisions the server, the services, the domain and the certificate, so it works as Umami cloud hosting on your own VPS without assembling containers yourself.

How much RAM does Umami need?

There is no template manifest for this app, so xCloud does not quote a RAM floor it cannot source. This page sells the 6 GB tier: a dedicated Cloud VPS with plenty of headroom for Umami and its database, and room to resize later.

How do I sign in to Umami?

Open your domain and sign in. Upstream's README documents a default login of admin with the password umami for a fresh install, so check what applies to your install and change the password the first time you sign in, before adding any websites.

Is Umami free and open source?

Yes. Umami is MIT licensed, per the LICENSE file at the v3.4.0 tag, so no licence is needed. The only xCloud charge is the dedicated Cloud VPS, and Umami is maintained by its own community, not by xCloud.

How do I update Umami?

Nothing upgrades it for you. When you want a newer release, take a backup of the database first, read the upstream release notes, apply the update on your own schedule, and then check sign-in and a recent report before you rely on it.

What should I back up on an Umami server?

The analytics database and whichever data volume it sits on, because it holds your websites, users and every recorded visit. Keep a copy off the server, keep the admin password private, and test a restore on a spare server. Server-level backups and snapshots are also available on every Cloud VPS.

Backups in xCloud

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.
