❇️ Updates Manager – Updates Across All Sites From a Single Dashboard
Keeping plugins, themes, and WordPress core files up to date across multiple websites can be a time-consuming task, especially for agencies and advanced users managing dozens of client sites. With the new Updates Manager, xCloud makes this process effortless.
From one centralized dashboard, you can:
- Update plugins, themes, and core WordPress files across all your sites with a single click.
- Save hours of repetitive work by handling updates in bulk.
- Ensure every site in your portfolio is always running the latest and most secure versions.
- Reduce manual errors and improve site reliability by streamlining the update process.
Whether you manage one site or one hundred, the Updates Manager makes WordPress website management easier and more efficient, keeping everything current without the need to switch between multiple dashboards.
❇️ HTTP/3 Support for Faster Sites
xCloud now supports HTTP/3, the latest version of the HTTP protocol, providing your websites with a significant boost in both speed and reliability. Built on top of QUIC, HTTP/3 is designed to perform better under modern internet conditions, particularly on mobile networks or high-latency connections.
With HTTP/3 enabled, your sites load faster due to reduced connection setup times, experience improved reliability on unstable or mobile networks, and benefit from enhanced security.
Whether you are running a high-traffic eCommerce platform or a personal blog, HTTP/3 ensures that visitors enjoy a smoother, faster, and more secure browsing experience. By adopting this next-generation protocol, xCloud helps keep your sites prepared for the future of the web.
❇️ Git Provider Integration – Deploy Projects Directly from GitHub
Developers can now seamlessly connect their GitHub accounts to xCloud, making deployment faster and more streamlined than ever. Previously, you were able to deploy your Git repositories from xCloud as well.
However, with this new Git integration, you can:
- Integrate your Git account directly in the xCloud dashboard.
- Deploy projects instantly from both public and private repositories.
- Simplify continuous deployment workflows without the need for extra tools.
- Collaborate more effectively by keeping your code and deployment process in sync.
Whether you are pushing updates to a staging environment or launching production-ready applications, this feature provides you with full control of your projects from code to deployment, all within xCloud. It is a significant time-saver for developers and teams working on scalable applications.
❇️ Updated PHP Settings Management
The PHP management settings in xCloud have been completely redesigned. The new PHP Version Management interface provides fine-grained, visual control over your server’s PHP environment. You can now manage PHP settings more easily, install specific PHP versions, set any version as the default, and configure additional settings with greater simplicity and efficiency.
❇️ New Backup Options – SFTP & Wasabi Integration
This month, xCloud introduces two new storage options that provide greater flexibility and control over your backups: SFTP and Wasabi integration. These additions are designed to meet the needs of both teams that prefer managing their own infrastructure and users seeking affordable, high-performance cloud storage.
With SFTP Storage Backup Support, you can:
- Connect your own servers or third-party SFTP providers.
- Keep backups securely managed in environments you already control.
With Wasabi Integration, you now have access to:
- A reliable, cost-effective cloud provider designed for affordable long-term storage.
- Scalable, high-performance cloud storage for seamless backup management.
Together, these two new integrations make xCloud backups more flexible and customizable than ever. From self-managed servers to cloud-based infrastructure, you now have the freedom to build a multi-layered backup strategy that best suits your workflow and budget.
❇️ Support for MySQL 8.4 & MariaDB 11.6
xCloud now brings support for the latest database engines with MySQL 8.4 and MariaDB 11.6, ensuring that your projects run on modern, stable, and high-performing environments. Upgrading to these versions provides access to the newest database features, improved efficiency, and stronger long-term support.
This enhancement is ideal for developers who want to leverage advanced database capabilities, as well as for businesses that prioritize reliability and performance.
❇️ Integrated Support Portal – Tickets Inside the Dashboard
Handling support is now easier than ever with the new built-in Support Portal, available directly inside your xCloud dashboard. When we first started, our goal was to make support simpler. However, creating a support ticket required logging in to a separate support portal — something many of you shared as a challenge. Based on that feedback, we’ve now brought everything together in one place.
Now, you can open and track support tickets directly from your dashboard, linked to a specific server, site, or team. This makes communication with our support team clearer, faster, and far more organized.
We’ve also introduced team-based permissions, so the right members can manage tickets, collaborate on issues, and stay updated on progress — all without confusion or unnecessary back-and-forth.
And for even smoother troubleshooting, you can securely share Magic Login and SSH access with the support team straight from a ticket.
Thanks to your feedback, the entire support experience now lives right where your work does. With xCloud, getting help is not only faster and more secure, but also a truly integrated part of your workflow.
❇️ Smarter Site Cloning Options
Cloning sites in xCloud is now more powerful and customizable with the new Smarter Site Cloning Options. Instead of simply duplicating the files and database, you can now choose to copy important configuration settings from the source site, ensuring that your clones are consistent and secure from the start.
When cloning a site, you can set backup preferences for both local and remote storage and configure security settings such as XML-RPC, X-Frame-Options, 7G/8G Firewall rules, AI Bot Blocker, WP Fail2Ban, and more.
This smarter cloning process saves time for developers and agencies managing multiple sites, ensures that cloned projects follow the same best practices, and eliminates the need to manually reconfigure security and backup options after deployment.
