Web Check Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy Web Check hosting and run your own website analysis and OSINT dashboard on your own domain. xCloud runs the pinned Web Check 2.3.0 image as a single container, bound to loopback and published over HTTPS, so DNS, SSL, header, port and redirect checks run from your server rather than a third-party scanner. There is nothing to configure and no credentials to generate.

What is Web Check?

Web Check is an open-source, all-in-one website analysis dashboard. You enter a URL and it reports the site's DNS records, SSL chain, HTTP and security headers, open ports, redirects, tech stack, trace route, a screenshot and many more checks in a single view.

On xCloud it runs as your own instance of the official image on a dedicated server. Because the scan is made from your server, the addresses you check are not sent to a third-party scanning service.

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

A self-hosted Web Check normally means pulling the right image, binding a port, wiring a reverse proxy and a certificate, and setting a block list before the first scan. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Web Check from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server — there are no extra fields to fill in.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We start the official Web Check container, pinned by immutable digest, with its port bound to loopback and the default block list for private and loopback ranges, then publish it over HTTPS on your domain. There is no database and no volume — Web Check keeps nothing between requests.
Step 03
Run Your First Scan
Wait about 30 seconds for the container to report ready, open your HTTPS Web Check URL, enter a website address and select Analyze. Then decide who else may reach the site — Web Check has no login, so add Basic Auth or an IP allowlist if it is public.

Everything Web Check Does, On Your Own Server

Web Check runs in full here: one dashboard of website checks, served from your own domain and your own server.

DNS, SSL And Headers In One Place
Enter a URL and see its DNS records, SSL chain, HTTP headers and security headers side by side instead of switching between separate tools.
Open Ports And Redirects
Check which ports respond and follow the redirect chain a visitor would take to reach the site.
Tech Stack, Trace Route And Screenshot
Identify the technologies a site uses, trace the route to its server and capture a page screenshot with the Chromium that ships in the container.
Private Targets Blocked By Default
API_BLOCKED_HOSTS refuses loopback, private, link-local and CGNAT IPv4 ranges out of the box. It matches the address as typed, so a hostname that resolves to a private address is not blocked.
Optional API Keys For Extra Checks
Add Shodan, Google, Certspotter or GitHub keys in the Environment editor to unlock further checks, then Save & Redeploy.
Stateless By Design
Scan results are not stored, so a Restart loses no data and there is no database or volume to back up.

What You Can Do With Web Check

Audit your own site's security posture
Review headers, SSL and exposed ports for your own domains from one dashboard before an attacker or an auditor does.
Check a client's website
Run the same set of checks against a client's site during onboarding or handover, without sending the target to an outside service.
Debug DNS, redirects and certificates
Follow the redirect chain, inspect DNS records and read the SSL chain when a site misbehaves.
Gather OSINT on a domain
Collect server location, tech stack, trace route and a screenshot of a public site as part of open-source research.

Web Check vs Alternatives

Online website scanners: Hosted checkers are quick for a one-off look, but every target goes to a third party; Web Check runs the same kinds of checks from your own server.
Command-line tools (dig, openssl, nmap, traceroute): Powerful and scriptable, but each covers one check; Web Check combines DNS, SSL, headers, ports and trace route in a single web dashboard.
Shodan: A search engine for internet-connected devices; Web Check can use an optional Shodan API key to unlock extra checks rather than replace it.
Browser developer tools: Good for inspecting one page's headers and requests, but they do not report DNS records, open ports or the SSL chain.

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.

Does Web Check need a login?

No. Upstream Web Check has no authentication, so anyone who can reach the site can run scans. If the site is public, put Basic Auth or an IP allowlist in front of it, or set API_ENABLE_RATE_LIMIT=true.

What runs alongside Web Check?

Nothing. It is a single container that includes Chromium and traceroute, with no database and no other services.

Can it scan my private network?

Not by default. Loopback, private, link-local and CGNAT IPv4 ranges are blocked through API_BLOCKED_HOSTS; remove ranges only if you need to scan your own network. The list matches the address as typed and covers IPv4 only, so a hostname that resolves to a private address is not blocked.

Is it safe to leave the scanner public?

Only with care. The scanner makes your server fetch whatever address a visitor enters, scan ports, run traceroute and open the target in headless Chromium. Restrict access with Basic Auth or an IP allowlist, or enable the rate limiter.

What should I back up?

Nothing. Scan results are not stored and the app keeps no data between requests, so there is no volume to back up. Server-level backups and snapshots are still available on every Cloud VPS.

Backups in xCloud

What do the optional API keys do?

Shodan, Google, Certspotter and GitHub keys unlock extra checks. They are commented out in the Environment editor; uncomment a line, set a value and Save & Redeploy.

How long does the first start take?

Usually about 30 seconds. The health check reports ready once the API routes are registered.

What if the traceroute or screenshot check does not work?

Both run inside the container. If one is unavailable on your server it is reported as skipped and the rest of the checks keep working.

What survives a restart?

There is nothing to lose: Web Check is stateless, so a Restart loses no data. The site comes back with the same settings from its environment file.

Does xCloud automatically update Web Check?

No. The template pins Web Check 2.3.0 by immutable digest; new installations use the pinned release and existing sites are not automatically upgraded. To upgrade, read the upstream release notes, then bump the readable tag and digest together on your own schedule.

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

The template's baseline asks for 1 CPU core, 256 MB of RAM and 4 GB of disk; measured use in QA was about 60 MiB idle and about 110 MiB after a full scan. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, with real headroom above that baseline.

Is xCloud officially partnered with Web Check?

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