Stop losing your place halfway through a show because Plex doesn't know what Jellyfin already marked as watched. WatchState hosting on xCloud gives you a self-hosted control panel that synchronizes watched state and play progress across trusted Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby servers — xCloud configures the pinned WatchState 1.10.3 image, persistent storage, and the HTTPS reverse proxy in minutes, ready for your one-time administrator account.
Self-hosting a media watch-state sync tool normally means a container, a persistent volume, a domain and a certificate before a single backend is connected. This is the same result without assembling any of it.
Step 01
Create your xCloud account and pick WatchState from the OneClick catalog. Enter a site title and choose a domain — there are no other fields to fill in.
Step 02
One click. We bring up the official WatchState 1.10.3 image — pinned by immutable digest — mount its persistent configuration volume, and publish the web interface over HTTPS on your domain, with nginx, DNS, and monitoring wired up automatically.
Step 03
Open the generated HTTPS URL and create the one-time system administrator immediately. Sign in and add only the Plex, Jellyfin, or Emby backends you trust, then confirm sync behavior with non-sensitive test media before relying on it.
WatchState runs in full here — backend connections, synchronization, and watch-state history, on infrastructure you control.
Keep watched status and play progress consistent across trusted Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby servers from one control panel.
Create the system administrator account the moment your HTTPS URL is live, before sharing access with anyone else.
Add, review, and remove media-server connections and their credentials entirely inside WatchState's own authenticated interface.
Configuration, database, synchronization state, logs, and webhooks all persist on a dedicated named volume across restarts.
WatchState documents its own export/import flow for play-state records, so you can keep a portable copy alongside your volume backup.
The web interface is bound to localhost on the container and reaches the internet only through xCloud-managed HTTPS.
Managed hosting for WatchState, so the parts that keep it online are not your problem.

Connect any VPS — DigitalOcean, Vultr, Linode, AWS, Hetzner or bare metal — and deploy WatchState on it through the same panel, for a per-server management fee instead of a Cloud VPS rental.

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 GeovannyI'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 PinedaI'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
Leo KooHow Cloud Nine Web Elevated Client Experience While Streamlining Hosting Operations using xCloud
Ed EllinghamxCloud 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 ButucelxCloud isn't just a solution. It's like one of that friend who got your back when you screw things up pretty bad.
Waqar AhmedTrust 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 SinghSo 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 VillaCame from cloudways then to runcloud then to xcloud. Looks like I'm staying here.
Gerson ElI'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 LewisI came from Cloudways and won't go back. Highly impressed with xCloud. Glad I gave them a chance.
Jared McDowellI 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
David McCanHow Kevin Heinrichs Cut Hosting Costs by 84% While Running WooCommerce & Node.js Sites Efficiently
Kevin HeinrichsI had 150 sites on cloudways and am in the process of moving them to xcloud. Much faster and better priced.
Dan SpinozaDear 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 MaknojiaCame from runcloud. Tried xcloud and never came back.
Karl FanegaHow Advanced Web Strategies Saved Over $2,000 & Recovered 56 Hours per Month Managing 70+ Client Websites
Gary MoodyxCloud 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.
Jorge de los Reyes MartínezI use Server Avatar and xCloud and I'll sooner use xCloud than Server Avatar personally.

John ApertureI went from Cloudways to xCloud. No intention on switching in the foreseeable future.

WatchState is a free, open-source, self-hosted control panel that synchronizes watched status and play progress across multiple Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby media servers from one authenticated web interface. This template deploys version 1.10.3.
Yes — it is free and open source under the AGPL-3.0 license. What you pay xCloud for is the dedicated server it runs on and the management around it, not the software itself.
Yes — that is exactly what this template deploys. It brings up the official WatchState image pinned by immutable digest, mounts a persistent configuration volume, and publishes the web interface over HTTPS on your domain in minutes instead of assembled by hand.
Open the generated HTTPS URL right after installation and create the one-time system administrator immediately, before sharing the URL with anyone else. WatchState handles this inside its own interface — it is not an xCloud template field.
Sign in to WatchState and add backends from the Backends section using HTTPS server URLs and least-privilege credentials. Add only media servers you trust — backend URLs, usernames, passwords, and API tokens are stored by WatchState itself and never appear in the xCloud Credentials panel.
The pinned WatchState container, the persistent watchstate_data volume, the domain, and the HTTPS route — plus nginx, DNS, and monitoring during installation. xCloud does not generate or store any WatchState admin password, API token, or backend credential; those are created and held entirely inside the app.
The watchstate_data volume mounted at /config, which holds WatchState's configuration, database, synchronization state, logs, webhooks, and any application-managed export data. Back it up as one consistency boundary, and keep WatchState's own play-state exports alongside it if they're part of your recovery plan.
No. The template pins the WatchState image by immutable digest; a catalog re-sync affects new installations only. Before changing the image, back up the volume, review upstream release notes, and after any update or an xCloud Restart, sign in again and verify the administrator and backend configuration are still available.
The template manifest asks for 512 MB of RAM, one CPU core and 5 GB of disk as a floor. This page sells the 6 GB tier as comfortable headroom above that floor — useful once library size, sync history, logs, and export data grow past the baseline.
Everything on watchstate_data, because it is a persistent named volume — configuration, database, synchronization state, logs, webhooks, and export data all persist. Sign in again after any restart to confirm your administrator and backend connections are still there.
No. No official partnership or endorsement between xCloud and the WatchState project has been verified. This is a deployment and server-management option for the open-source WatchState project.
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.
Connect your first server in minutes. No credit card required, and no plan you have to grow into.
