Questions that were answered for me after making this video:
1. Backups are not incremental yet, but it's planned.
2. There is no way to control WP Memory Limit via the GUI, but that is nearing release.
3. Teams ARE unlimited, despite what I see on my screen. This could change later.
4. As I speculate in the video, xCloud's managed servers are indeed Vultr servers that have been white labeled.
would appreciate if you could include chapters!
Thanks for the comment. @@AbstraktMusicLab I often do, however this video was made quickly so I didn't have time :)
Hi Dave, thanks a lot for the thorough overview of xCloud. In the video, you mentioned that you normally spin up the Elite vultr server with 8gb of ram and 3CPU, and l was wondering how many sites can be spun up inside that server.
Hi @egidehirwa, good question.
It's depends on what the site is doing and how much traffic it gets. If it's for a popular WooCommerce site, only one site is ideal.
If it's for strictly blog content or brochure business sites that can be heavily cached (or even entirely cached on the Edge using Cloudflare APO), you can run dozens if not more.
What's most important is that you're keeping an eye on resources and leaving some capacity to serve large bursts of traffic when needed.
Just to clarify, because this comes across a bit misleading on their sales-page:
You don't get any servers with the LTD.
You can MANAGE some servers with the LTD.
You would still have to purchase and pay for the servers elsewhere.
Edit:
You actually mentioned this in the video.
Yes, this is a hosting panel.
BYO cloud accounts or buy their white labeled ones.
Is there a difference in the dashboard features one can access if Own Server is preferred over Managed by xCloud server? Because the free 1 server is enough for someone who runs a single website, and hosting it directly to Vultr for example is still cheaper although minimal.
I don't think there should be any different features once the server is connected. I'm trying to think of anything and nothing is coming to mind!
I may have missed it, but is LiteSpeed server supported via Docker or natively?
nope
I wonder if there's proper support for multisite? My current host does not support: cron, cloudflare integration & staging sites for sub-sites and it's not high on their to-do list either 😕
Sounds like it's time for a new host!
Not sure about multisite, but I'd admit I'm not much of a multi-site fan.
xCloud does not have multisite support yet, will be added soon. But it has cron, Cloudflare integration, and staging site features already.
Thanks@@kawserz, I was referring to those features specifically for multisite. They have 'em for single sites though.
@@dave-swift It is rather limiting in some ways. ~8+ years ago it was the "easier" way to get two themes working on the site and still pull data from one or the other.
Hi Dave you know can switch from dark to light mode it's under your profile I just bought $299 LTD
Thanks, but what about the docs? :)
@@dave-swift I think they changed that too through their message app on the phone if you access the website through mobile one of their plugins was used to make documents called BetterDocs
The team is working on bringing a light mode for the docs as well. Thanks for understanding.
You guys are doing great. No malice intended by my critiques :)
I didn't see anywhere a setup for FTP. Did I miss something?
They do have FTP, here is the setup doc.

Is this essentially a replacement for Cloudways? Or, is it more similar to RunCloud/Gridpane/etc.?
(I consider CW a bit more newbie-friendly) 🤷
Yes it is! Both!
You can connect your own account (like RunCloud/Gridpane) or you can use theirs (like Cloudways).
The XCloud Server are the VULTR, I ask to the company.
Yep 👍
The site username, lol
I'm glad I'm not the only one who laughed at that.
Connecting my sites to another Cloud management service... no thanks. If it was self-hosted, I would have.
Most would consider this self hosted. Can you clarify?
@@dave-swift the panel is a cloud service, run by WPDeveloper/WPManageNinja. If it was self-hosted, you would be able to run the panel yourself on your own infrastructure.
Now I understand. Thanks for clarifying. Do you have a panel you prefer?
@@dave-swift the only self-hosted hosting panel with wordpress management that I've used is Plesk - it's pretty good in terms of management but definitely not as advanced as this. But it's good enough to manage my client base.
isn't this like a Gridpane?
