XWiki Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy XWiki on infrastructure you control, instead of assembling the Docker and reverse-proxy stack by hand for an extensible open-source wiki. xCloud configures the pinned XWiki 18.7.0 PostgreSQL/Tomcat image, a private PostgreSQL 17.11 service, persistent storage for your pages and attachments, and the HTTPS reverse proxy in minutes — ready for you to run the Distribution Wizard and create your first administrator.

  • No terminal
  • No technical skills needed
  • No lock-in, cancel anytime

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

Self-hosting an extensible wiki normally means a container, a private database, a domain and a certificate before a single page exists. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

  1. Step 01

    Sign Up

    Create your xCloud account and pick XWiki from the OneClick catalog. Choose your site title, domain and target server — there is nothing else to fill in, since xCloud generates the database name, user and password.

  2. Step 02

    We Deploy It For You

    One click. We bring up the official XWiki 18.7.0 image, pinned by immutable digest, alongside a private PostgreSQL 17.11 sidecar, mount the xwiki_data and xwiki_database volumes, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain.

  3. Step 03

    Run The Distribution Wizard

    Open the generated HTTPS URL, install the standard XWiki flavor, and create the first administrator. Review registration and access rights before adding private content, then create a page and attach a file to confirm search indexing.

Everything XWiki Does, On Your Own Server

XWiki runs in full here — pages, attachments, access controls, extensions and structured content, on infrastructure you control.

  • Searchable Knowledge Base

    Build a searchable company knowledge base or internal documentation hub, instead of scattering docs across shared drives and chat threads.

  • Collaborative Wiki Pages

    Create wiki pages with attachments and access controls, so teams can write and file supporting documents in one place.

  • Extensible With XWiki Applications

    Extend the standard flavor with XWiki applications and structured content as your needs grow, without re-platforming.

  • Private Database, Public Wiki Only

    PostgreSQL stays private with no host port at all; only the XWiki web interface is proxied over HTTPS.

  • Restart-Safe Wiki Data

    Wiki records and XWiki's permanent data persist across an xCloud Restart on two declared volumes, not the container's own filesystem.

  • Built For Knowledge Teams

    A good fit for internal knowledge bases, product and engineering documentation, team intranets and policy libraries.

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!

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

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.

Came from runcloud. Tried xcloud and never came back.

Frequently Asked Questions

Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.

What is XWiki?

XWiki is an open-source, extensible wiki platform for team knowledge, documentation, structured content and file attachments, built on PostgreSQL and Tomcat. This template deploys version 18.7.0.

Is XWiki free?

Yes — XWiki Platform is open source under the LGPL-2.1 license. Commercial XWiki Cloud, support and Pro Applications are separate upstream offerings, not included with this template. What you pay xCloud for is the dedicated server it runs on and the management around it.

Can I self-host XWiki?

Yes — that is exactly what this template deploys. It brings up the official XWiki 18.7.0-postgres-tomcat image, pinned by immutable digest, alongside a private PostgreSQL 17.11 sidecar, mounts persistent volumes, and publishes it over HTTPS on your domain in minutes instead of assembled by hand.

Who becomes the administrator, and how do I sign in?

There is no generated administrator account. Open the generated HTTPS URL after deployment and create the first administrator yourself inside XWiki's Distribution Wizard — that credential is not stored by xCloud.

What does xCloud configure automatically?

The pinned XWiki image, a private PostgreSQL 17.11 database with a generated name, user and password, persistent storage, the domain and the HTTPS route. Only the XWiki web interface is published — PostgreSQL has no host port at all.

What should I back up?

Both xwiki_data and xwiki_database together, at an application-consistent point, since one holds wiki pages and permanent data and the other holds the database. Keep a verified copy off-server and test restoration in an isolated installation.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update XWiki?

No. The template pins XWiki 18.7.0 by immutable digest; a catalog re-sync affects new installations only. Review upstream release and upgrade guidance, back up both xwiki_data and xwiki_database, and test the migration before changing XWiki or PostgreSQL.

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

The template manifest asks for 2 CPU cores, 4 GiB of RAM and 20 GB of disk as a starting requirement for XWiki. This page sells the 6 GB tier as the entry rung at that starting point — more users, pages, attachments, extensions and search indexing may need a larger size.

What survives a restart?

Everything on xwiki_data and xwiki_database, because both are persistent named volumes. Restarting the container does not touch your wiki pages, attachments, permissions or database.

How long does the first install take?

Initial startup and flavor installation can take several minutes while extensions are installed. Avoid interrupting the container during that window.

Does this include commercial XWiki Cloud or Pro Applications?

No. This template deploys the open-source XWiki Platform only. Commercial XWiki Cloud, support and Pro Applications are separate offerings you would purchase directly from XWiki.

Is xCloud officially partnered with XWiki?

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