Get started with xneelo Cloud

Welcome to xneelo Cloud – your platform to build, manage and scale your own cloud environments. With flexible, hourly pricing, you can create virtual servers, storage and networks to power your projects.

This guide will help you take your first steps and understand how everything fits together.


  • Understand the basics

    Xneelo Cloud provides Infrastructure-as-a-Service (Iaas), giving you access to virtual compute, network and storage resources.

    You can build and manage your own infrastructure directly from your Cloud dashboard.

    Our Cloud infrastructure includes:

    • Instances – virtual servers that run your workloads
    • Volumes – storage attached to your instances
    • Networks – internal or public connectivity between resources
    • Security groups – rules that control access to your instances

    Xneelo Cloud supports both simple and complex environments, from flexible application hosting to distributed systems and multi-environment setups.

  • Create your first project

    If you haven’t already, follow the steps to sign up and create your xneelo account. 

    Once your account is active, you’ll be prompted to create your first Cloud project – a central workspace for your Cloud resources.

    You can then launch the dashboard – a user-friendly web interface with tools to manage your cloud resources.

    You’ll start with default project limits (resource quotas), but can request more as your cloud grows.





  • Create your first instance

    Your first resource will usually be a Cloud instance – a virtual server that provides computing power for your workloads.

    Follow the guide to create a Cloud instance.

    Once your instance is created, you can:

    • Manage network access: Configure security groups and networks.
    • Connect remotely: Use an SSH client and key pair.
    • Access the console: If you’ve set a password.
    • Set up your server: Create users and install software.

    You can find guides on all these steps in the Compute Help Centre.





  • Explore Cloud features

    Once your instance is running, you can explore more features to customise your Cloud environment:

    • Volume storage – Add extra storage for your instances.
    • Private networking – Create custom network setups and control traffic.

  • Manage your Cloud

    Xneelo Cloud is self-managed, giving you full control of your virtual infrastructure.

    We look after the physical servers and network, while you manage everything within your Cloud environment. This includes:

    • Setting up and securing your instances.
    • Managing your systems, applications and data.
    • Controlling access through security groups and networking.

    Keeping your Cloud secure is your responsibility. Misconfigured resources could expose your workloads to risk, and breach our Acceptable Use Policy.





  • Get support

    Our Cloud Help Centre offers detailed step-by-step guides to help you self-manage your environment.

    If you need additional help, our support team is available via Live Chat in the Control Panel.
