xCloud

# About xCloud

xCloud is a newer entrant in the server management space, coming from the team behind WPDeveloper. It aims to simplify cloud hosting for WordPress and Laravel applications. Like other tools in this category, it connects to your cloud provider accounts (Vultr, DigitalOcean, Google Cloud, etc.) to provision and manage servers.

It offers a modern dashboard to manage sites, servers, and teams, positioning itself as an affordable alternative to managed hosting by leveraging cheaper VPS infrastructure.

# What xCloud does well

• Modern UI: Offers a clean interface for managing servers and applications.
• WordPress & Laravel: Explicit support for both major PHP ecosystems.
• Automation: Features for automated backups, updates, and free SSL.

# Why fortrabbit

Responsibility: xCloud is a tool to manage servers. fortrabbit is a platform to run apps. We abstract the server entirely. You don't provision a "server" on fortrabbit; you provision an "App". We handle the OS, the network, the security patching, and the scaling.

App hosting: Our architecture is designed for scalability and isolation. We don't just install software on a VPS; we provide a containerized environment that is tuned for PHP execution.

Pricing: xCloud's model involves paying for their service plus the underlying infrastructure. fortrabbit offers bundled pricing where compute, storage, bandwidth, and management are included in one predictable bill.

Human support: When things break on a self-managed VPS, you are often the first line of defense. On fortrabbit, our engineers are monitoring the platform 24/7.

# When to choose what

# Migration considerations

If you are moving from xCloud, you are likely looking to offload the "sysadmin" part of your work. fortrabbit is the perfect destination to focus purely on your code and content.
