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

Self-hosting Windshift normally means a container host, a domain, a certificate and racing to claim the admin account before anyone else. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

  1. Step 01

    Sign Up

    Create your xCloud account and pick Windshift from the OneClick catalog. Choose a domain and server; there are no other fields.

  2. Step 02

    We Deploy It For You

    One click. We bring up the pinned Windshift 0.8.9 image with a generated SSO secret, published over HTTPS with persistent storage.

  3. Step 03

    Finish Setup Straight Away

    Note the site URL in your installation credentials, open it within a minute, and finish the setup wizard at once. The first account becomes the administrator.

Everything Windshift Does, On Your Own Server

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!

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.

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.

What makes Windshift different from other project tools?

Windshift is open source under AGPL-3.0 and ships as a single Go binary with the web interface built in. It combines boards, backlogs, roadmaps, a customer portal, test management and time tracking in one self-hosted app.

How do I sign in the first time?

Open your Windshift URL and complete the setup wizard. The first account you create becomes the administrator; after that, visitors see the normal Sign In page. Finish it straight away, because until then anyone who reaches the URL can create that account.

Does it need a separate database?

No. This deployment runs Windshift as one container with SQLite on a persistent volume.

What should I keep stable?

The generated SSO_SECRET. Changing it signs everyone out and invalidates stored SSO credentials. Keep the same value when you restore a backup.

What should I back up?

The windshift_data volume as one unit, ideally with the app stopped. It holds the database, attachments, plugins and AI prompt overrides together.

What are the server requirements?

The baseline is 1 CPU, 2 GB of RAM and 5 GB of disk. Measured idle use on QA was about 45 MiB and peaked near 246 MiB during a 50 MiB upload. This page sells the 6 GB tier.

Is the interface available in other languages?

Yes. Nine languages are built in: English, German, Spanish, French, Brazilian Portuguese, Arabic (with right-to-left support), Russian, Simplified Chinese and Korean.

Does xCloud automatically update Windshift?

No. The image is pinned by immutable digest. To upgrade, read the upstream release notes, take a volume backup, then move the readable tag and the digest together.

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.
