VictoriaMetrics Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy VictoriaMetrics hosting and give Prometheus, Grafana and your metrics agents a password-protected time-series database to write to and query. xCloud runs the pinned VictoriaMetrics v1.152.0 container, generates the HTTP Basic Auth credentials, publishes the endpoint on an allocated server port and keeps your data on a persistent volume.

What is VictoriaMetrics?

VictoriaMetrics is an open-source, Apache-2.0 licensed time-series database for metrics. It stores the data that Prometheus and other agents send it, answers PromQL and MetricsQL queries and serves a built-in web interface, all from a single binary with no external dependencies.

On xCloud it runs as one container on your own server. It is a data service: you reach it on the server IP and an allocated port with HTTP Basic Auth, rather than on a domain with a login page.

From Sign-Up to Your First Stored Metric In Just 3 Easy Steps

A VictoriaMetrics setup normally means a container, a data volume, an authentication layer and a published port before an agent can write to it. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account, pick VictoriaMetrics from the OneClick catalog and choose your target server. Set the HTTP Auth username, which defaults to vmadmin, and leave the password blank to have one generated.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the official VictoriaMetrics container, pinned by immutable digest, with no other service to run alongside it, mount the victoriametrics_data volume for your time series, apply HTTP Basic Auth to every API and UI request and publish the endpoint on an allocated port of your server.
Step 03
Write Your First Metrics
Save the username, password and HTTP endpoint from your installation credentials. Open the endpoint in a browser and sign in to reach the web interface, or check /-/ready for HTTP 200, then point Prometheus remote write, Grafana or your agent at it with the same credentials.

Everything VictoriaMetrics Does, On Your Own Server

VictoriaMetrics single-node runs in full here: a metrics store you own, with its data on a volume you control.

PromQL And MetricsQL
Query with PromQL, or with VictoriaMetrics' own MetricsQL, which extends it, from the HTTP API or the built-in vmui web interface.
Many Ingestion Protocols
Accept Prometheus remote write, InfluxDB line protocol, Graphite, OpenTSDB, JSON lines, CSV, DataDog, NewRelic and OpenTelemetry data.
Long-Term Prometheus Storage
Use it as remote storage for Prometheus, so metrics outlive a single Prometheus server's local retention.
Grafana Data Source
Add it to Grafana as a Prometheus-type data source with the endpoint URL and the Basic Auth credentials.
Global Query View
Write from several Prometheus instances or other sources into one place and query them together.
Basic Auth On Every Request
API and UI requests need the install-time username and password; only the health endpoints answer without credentials.

What You Can Do With VictoriaMetrics

Keep Prometheus data for longer
Send Prometheus remote write to VictoriaMetrics so history is kept on a volume you control instead of a single Prometheus server's local disk.
Back your Grafana dashboards
Add the endpoint as a Prometheus-type data source and build dashboards on top of it.
Gather metrics from several sources
Write from multiple Prometheus instances and agents into one store and query them in one place.
Accept what your tools already send
Ingest InfluxDB line protocol, Graphite, OpenTSDB, DataDog, NewRelic or OpenTelemetry data without changing the sender to Prometheus.

VictoriaMetrics vs Alternatives

Prometheus: Prometheus scrapes and stores metrics locally; VictoriaMetrics can act as its long-term storage and accepts many more ingestion protocols, with MetricsQL on top of PromQL.
InfluxDB: A time-series database with its own query language; VictoriaMetrics accepts InfluxDB line protocol and is queried with PromQL and MetricsQL.
Grafana Cloud: A hosted metrics service; VictoriaMetrics runs on your own server and keeps the data on your own volume.

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.

What makes VictoriaMetrics different from Prometheus?

It is built as a storage and query backend: it can act as long-term storage for Prometheus, accepts many ingestion protocols and supports PromQL plus MetricsQL. Upstream publishes benchmarks reporting lower RAM use than Prometheus, Thanos or Cortex; they were not re-run here.

How do I sign in?

There are no user accounts or setup wizard. Every request uses HTTP Basic Auth with the username and password from the installation credentials, and the browser prompts for them on the web interface.

Does it come with a domain and HTTPS?

No. VictoriaMetrics is installed as a data service reached on the server IP and an allocated port over plain HTTP. Restrict that port with firewall rules, and add your own TLS proxy if clients connect over the public internet.

Is the endpoint safe to expose?

Requests without credentials, or with wrong ones, are rejected with 401, and only /health, /-/ready and /-/healthy answer without them. Because Basic Auth credentials travel unencrypted over plain HTTP, allow only the IPs that need access, or put it behind your own TLS proxy or a private network.

Can I use it with Grafana?

Yes. Add it as a Prometheus-type data source using the endpoint URL and the Basic Auth credentials.

Grafana hosting

What runs alongside VictoriaMetrics?

Nothing. It is a single container with no external dependencies. Collection agents, alerting and dashboards are not included.

What should I back up?

The victoriametrics_data volume, which holds all stored series. Quiesce writes or stop the service before a volume snapshot, or use VictoriaMetrics' instant snapshot API, and keep an off-server copy.

Backups in xCloud

What happens if the password leaks?

Anyone with the password can read, write and delete metrics, so keep it private and restrict the port with your firewall.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update VictoriaMetrics?

No. The template pins VictoriaMetrics v1.152.0 by immutable digest; new installations use the pinned release and existing sites are not automatically upgraded. Read the upstream release notes and upgrade guide, then bump the readable tag and the image digest together on your own schedule. Server-level backups and snapshots are available on every Cloud VPS.

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

The template's baseline asks for 1 CPU core, 512 MB of RAM and 5 GB of disk; idle use measured in QA was about 9 to 13 MiB. Real needs grow with ingestion rate, retention and query load. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, which leaves generous headroom above that baseline.

Is xCloud officially partnered with VictoriaMetrics?

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