Deploy a RunCloud Cloud VPS with Host4Fun. AMD Ryzen, DDR5 RAM, NVMe SSD, 10 Gbps. Connect RunCloud to your Cloud VPS for easy server management. Free plan available. From $3/mo.
RunCloud is a cloud-based server management panel that takes a different approach from traditional control panels. Rather than installing a heavy panel directly on your server, RunCloud installs a lightweight agent on your VPS and manages it through RunCloud's own web dashboard hosted externally.
This architecture means your VPS runs lean — no panel web server consuming RAM and CPU, just Nginx, PHP-FPM, and MySQL running at full efficiency. RunCloud handles deployment of web applications, WordPress sites, SSL certificates, team access, and server monitoring all from its external dashboard.
On a Host4Fun Cloud VPS, RunCloud connects via a lightweight agent. Your VPS gets AMD Ryzen, DDR5 RAM, NVMe SSD, and a 10 Gbps port — with RunCloud providing the management layer from its own cloud infrastructure.
RunCloud works differently: create a RunCloud account, add a new server, and RunCloud generates a one-line install command. Run it on your Host4Fun Cloud VPS to install the RunCloud agent. Your server connects to the RunCloud dashboard within minutes.
From the RunCloud dashboard you then manage web applications, PHP versions, SSL, databases, team members, and Git deployments — all without SSH for routine tasks. The VPS itself runs only the essential stack — no panel overhead consuming your resources.
A complete feature set tailored for the RunCloud control panel on a high-performance Cloud VPS.
RunCloud installs only a lightweight agent on your VPS. All management happens through RunCloud's cloud dashboard. This means more RAM and CPU available for your web applications rather than being consumed by a panel web server.
Deploy WordPress with one click from the RunCloud dashboard. Manage plugins, themes, and updates across multiple WordPress sites. RunCloud's WordPress toolkit handles staging, cloning, and security hardening.
Connect GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket repositories to your RunCloud web applications. Trigger automatic deployments on push — a built-in CI/CD workflow without requiring separate pipeline tools.
One-click SSL provisioning and auto-renewal for all web applications via Let's Encrypt. Force HTTPS and manage SSL certificates from the RunCloud dashboard without touching the command line.
Install and switch between PHP 7.x and 8.x per application. RunCloud manages Nginx, Apache, and multiple PHP-FPM versions from its dashboard — letting you configure each web app with its own PHP version and settings.
Add team members with role-based access — useful for agencies managing multiple client servers. Grant developers access to specific web applications without giving full server root access.
Create and manage MySQL and MariaDB databases from the RunCloud dashboard. phpMyAdmin available per database. Manage database users, permissions, and backups without SSH commands.
Schedule automated backups of web applications and databases. Configure backup storage destinations including RunCloud's own storage, Amazon S3, Backblaze B2, or other S3-compatible storage providers.
Real-time server metrics — CPU, RAM, disk, network — accessible from the RunCloud dashboard. Set up monitoring alerts for threshold breaches. View per-application performance data without logging into the server.
