We are delighted with the enthusiastic response from our users. Read some of the great feedback we have received so far!

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.

xCloud isn’t just a solution. It’s like one of that friend who got your back when you screw things up pretty bad.

Tony Lewis

@tlewisverdu

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.

@braingigio

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’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!

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.

@tlewisverdu

I had 150 sites on cloudways and am in the process of moving them to xcloud. Much faster and better priced.
