Deploy WebThings Gateway hosting and run a private smart-home dashboard for your network-connected and virtual things on a server you own. xCloud runs the pinned WebThings Gateway 2.0.0 image behind an internal HTTPS proxy so it emits secure URLs, creates the first owner from the email you enter with a generated password, mounts a persistent data volume and publishes it over HTTPS in minutes.
A gateway normally means a container, an internal proxy, an owner account, a volume, a domain and a certificate before the first thing. This is the same result without assembling any of it.
Step 01
Create your xCloud account and pick WebThings Gateway from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server, then set the Administrator Email and Timezone.
Step 02
One click. We bring up the official WebThings Gateway 2.0.0 image, pinned by immutable digest with an internal proxy in front of Gateway's native HTTPS listener, mount the webthings_data volume, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Open your domain and sign in with the administrator email you entered and the generated password, change the password in Gateway settings, then install a network or virtual-things adapter, add a thing and verify its controls before building an automation.
WebThings Gateway runs in full here for network-accessible and virtual adapters: the dashboard, add-ons, rules and automations, on a volume you own.
Organise your things and control them from a dashboard on your own domain.
Build local rules that run on the gateway, not in someone's cloud.
Add-ons for network-accessible devices and virtual things are in scope.
An internal proxy talks to Gateway's native HTTPS listener so it emits https and wss URLs correctly.
No host networking, privileged mode, USB or Bluetooth passthrough, Docker socket or Avahi integration.
Database, owner accounts, settings, add-ons, certificates, things, rules and automation state live on webthings_data.

Every size is a dedicated Cloud VPS we provision, patch, monitor and restore. Billed monthly with no lock-in — delete the server and the unused balance comes back to your account. WebThings Gateway itself is free and open source under the MPL-2.0 licence.
Connect any VPS — DigitalOcean, Vultr, Linode, AWS, Hetzner or bare metal — and deploy WebThings Gateway 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.
Jay PaganoHow Newman Web Solutions Ensured Perfect Uptime and Seamless Scaling For 120+ WordPress Sites with xCloud
Lori NewmanI too have moved over to xCloud. It's pretty sweet. One click n8n and uptime Kuma apps
John ApertureI went from Cloudways to xCloud. No intention on switching in the foreseeable future.

WebThings Gateway is an open-source smart-home gateway for connecting network and virtual WebThings, with a private dashboard, rules and automations, released under the MPL-2.0 licence. This template deploys version 2.0.0.
Not on this template. It deliberately uses bridge networking without host networking, USB or Bluetooth passthrough, so physical-radio discovery and add-ons that need device passthrough are out of scope. Network-accessible and virtual adapters are supported.
In Gateway settings. ADMIN_EMAIL and ADMIN_PASSWORD initialise the first owner only once; editing them later does not rotate the account.
Back up the complete volume, review upstream release notes and profile migrations, then update. Test login, one adapter action and one automation on a restored copy first.
The pinned WebThings Gateway image, the dashboard url, administrator email and administrator password shown in the credentials panel, persistent storage on webthings_data, the domain and the HTTPS route. WebThings Gateway stays on internal port 8080, reachable only through xCloud nginx.
The complete webthings_data volume, mapped to /home/node/.webthings: the SQLite database, owner accounts, settings, add-ons, certificates, logs, things, rules and automation state. Quiesce or stop the gateway before a filesystem-level backup.
No. The template pins WebThings Gateway 2.0.0 by immutable digest; new installations use the pinned release, existing sites are not automatically upgraded. Back up first, read the upstream release notes, then update the image on your own schedule. Server-level backups and snapshots are available on every Cloud VPS.
The template manifest asks for 2 CPU cores, 2 GiB of RAM and 10 GiB of disk as a floor for WebThings Gateway. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung, with real headroom above that floor.
Everything on webthings_data, because it is persistent named volume. Restarting the container does not touch that data.
No. No official partnership or endorsement between xCloud and the WebThings Gateway project has been verified. This is a deployment and server-management option for the open-source WebThings Gateway 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.
