Wazuh Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Wazuh hosting on xCloud lets you deploy Wazuh, an open source SIEM and XDR, without hand-building the stack. xCloud deploys the pinned Wazuh 4.14.8 manager, indexer and dashboard together, generates the admin login, the agent enrollment password and a fresh set of certificates for your install, mounts persistent volumes and publishes the dashboard over HTTPS on your domain in minutes.

What is Wazuh?

Wazuh is a free and open source platform used for threat prevention, detection and response, according to its README. It is built to protect workloads across on-premises, virtualized, containerized and cloud-based environments. The solution is an endpoint security agent on each monitored system plus a management server that collects and analyses what the agents send. A self-hosted Wazuh gives you intrusion detection, log analysis, file integrity monitoring, vulnerability detection and compliance checks.

On xCloud the template runs the Wazuh manager, indexer and dashboard at version 4.14.8, all pinned by digest, with a small certificate service creating per-install certificates on first start. Only the dashboard is published over HTTPS, and the agent ports are published on the server address for you to open in your own firewall. Wazuh is GPL-2.0 with an OpenSSL linking exception, and one stack fits on a server.

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

A Wazuh stack normally means a manager, an indexer, a dashboard, a certificate authority, a set of generated passwords, volumes, a domain and a certificate before the first agent connects. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Wazuh from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server — there are no extra fields to fill in, because xCloud generates the credentials.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the Wazuh manager, the Wazuh indexer (single-node OpenSearch) and the Wazuh dashboard from official images pinned by immutable digest, run a small certificate service that creates per-install certificates on first start, mount a persistent volume for each component, and publish the dashboard over HTTPS. The indexer (port 9200) and manager API (port 55000) stay on the stack's private network.
Step 03
Sign In And Connect An Agent
Allow 3 to 5 minutes on first start, then sign in as admin with the generated password from the installation credentials. Open Deploy new agent in the dashboard and use the agent server address and enrollment password from the credentials card to connect your first machine.

Everything Wazuh Does, On Your Own Server

The full Wazuh stack runs here: agents report to your manager, and alerts, vulnerabilities and compliance findings land in your dashboard.

Intrusion Detection
Agents scan monitored systems for malware, rootkits and suspicious anomalies, and the server analyses collected logs with its rule engine to look for indicators of compromise.
Log Data Analysis
Agents read operating system and application logs and forward them to the manager for rule-based analysis and storage; the manager can also receive syslog from network devices.
File Integrity Monitoring
Wazuh watches the file system for changes in content, permissions, ownership and attributes, and identifies the users and applications behind them.
Vulnerability Detection
Agents send software inventory data to the server, where it is correlated with CVE databases to find known vulnerable software.
Configuration Assessment
Periodic agent scans check system and application settings against your security policies and hardening guides, with recommendations in the alerts.
Protected Agent Enrollment
Agents must present a generated enrollment password to register, instead of the stock configuration that lets any reachable host enroll.

What You Can Do With Wazuh

Watch servers for intrusions
Install agents on the machines you monitor and see malware, rootkit and anomaly alerts in one dashboard you host yourself.
Centralise log analysis
Forward operating system and application logs, or syslog from network devices, to one manager and search the resulting alerts in the indexer.
Track file changes for compliance
Use file integrity monitoring to see changes to files that matter, a control that several regulatory standards, such as PCI DSS, call for.
Find vulnerable software
Correlate each agent's software inventory with CVE databases to see which hosts run known vulnerable packages.

Wazuh vs Alternatives

Splunk: A commercial platform sold as licensed software and as a cloud service. A Wazuh alternative to Splunk is free and open source and runs on your own Cloud VPS, with alerts stored in your own single-node indexer.
CrowdSec: CrowdSec has its own OneClick page. In a Wazuh vs CrowdSec comparison, CrowdSec is a participative security engine that serves block decisions, rather than a full manager, indexer and dashboard stack.
Graylog: Graylog has its own OneClick page. It is a log management platform, so compare its search and alerting with Wazuh's agent-based detection, file integrity monitoring and vulnerability checks.
Microsoft Sentinel: A SIEM delivered as a cloud service inside Microsoft Azure, where Wazuh is self-hosted on a server you control.

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.

xCloud 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.

Is Wazuh free?

Yes. Wazuh is free and open source, distributed under the GNU General Public License v2.0 with an OpenSSL linking exception. There is no licence fee. You pay xCloud for the dedicated Cloud VPS, and indexed alerts are what fill its disk over time.

Wazuh license

How much RAM does Wazuh need?

The manifest asks for 2 CPU cores, 4096 MB of RAM and 20 GB of disk, and QA measured about 2.1 GiB in use. A 4 GB minimum leaves little headroom on a 6 GB server, so this page sells the 16 GB plan as the entry rung.

Can you self-host Wazuh with Docker?

Yes, and this template is Wazuh Docker hosting without the setup: the official 4.14.8 manager, indexer and dashboard images pinned by digest, a certificate service, generated passwords, persistent volumes and HTTPS on your domain. The indexer stays private.

How do I connect a Wazuh agent?

Open Agents in the dashboard, choose Deploy new agent, and use the agent server address, the ports and the enrollment password from your credentials card. Open the agent ports in your own firewall first, because xCloud does not open them.

Which ports does Wazuh need open?

Agent events and agent enrollment, both TCP, are published on the server address, and syslog over UDP is listed too but does nothing until a syslog receiver is added to the manager configuration. Open these in your own firewall, ideally only to your agents' addresses.

Configure firewall management

Is Wazuh agent enrollment open to anyone?

No. Agents must present the generated enrollment password. Keep it private, because anyone who can reach the agent ports can try to enroll. An agent must also not be newer than the manager, which is Wazuh 4.14.8 here.

Can I run more than one Wazuh stack on a server?

No. Agents connect to fixed ports, so only one Wazuh stack fits on a server. If you need a second environment, give it its own server rather than trying to share these ports on one machine.

Can I change the Wazuh passwords after install?

Not the indexer, dashboard and API passwords: they are applied once at first start, and editing them afterwards breaks the login between components. The agent enrollment password is applied on every start and can be rotated by redeploying.

How do I back up Wazuh?

Back up the indexer data, the manager configuration and the three certificate volumes together, because the certificates must match the data they protect. Restore all of them as one set, never just the indexer, and test a restore before depending on it.

Backups in xCloud

How do I upgrade Wazuh?

The install stays on Wazuh 4.14.8 until you adopt a newer template version. Back up everything first and read the upstream release notes. Agents must not be newer than the manager, so upgrade the manager side first. Nothing upgrades automatically.

Is there a Wazuh cloud service I can use?

This page is your own Wazuh cloud: a dedicated Cloud VPS running the open-source stack, with alerts and agent keys on volumes you control. It is a single private instance, not a shared service, and the manager API and indexer are not public.

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.
