Platform / Self-Hosted n8n
Your automation, your server.
We deploy n8n on your own VPS — hardened, backed up, monitored, and maintained. Unlimited workflow executions for roughly $20 a month in hosting, replacing the $500+/mo a comparable Zapier or n8n Cloud bill grows into.

Why this platform
Why teams choose it
Flat $20/mo Instead of Usage Bills
01Execution-based pricing punishes success. A self-hosted instance on a ~$20/mo VPS runs unlimited workflows — heavy users save $500+/mo versus cloud automation tiers.
Complete Data Sovereignty
02Customer records, financials, and credentials never leave your server. For privacy-sensitive and compliance-adjacent workloads, this is the only architecture that fully answers the question.
Production-Grade From Day One
03SSL, reverse proxy, Postgres persistence, queue mode where volume demands it, and automated encrypted backups. A deployment, not a docker-run experiment.
You Hold Root
04The server, the credentials, and the workflow JSON are yours. We document everything and hand over the keys — you are never hostage to us or to a SaaS pricing change.
Maintained Without a Sysadmin
05Automated updates, health monitoring, and disk alerts mean upkeep is minutes a month. We include update runbooks and optional maintenance coverage.

What we build
Capabilities we ship
Hardened VPS Deployment
01Dockerized n8n behind Nginx with SSL, firewall rules, fail2ban, and SSH hardening on Hetzner, DigitalOcean, or the provider you prefer.
Backup & Disaster Recovery
02Nightly encrypted backups of workflows, credentials, and execution data shipped offsite, with documented restore procedures we actually test.
Monitoring & Alerting
03Uptime checks, resource monitoring, and workflow-failure alerts to your inbox or Slack — the instance tells you when it needs attention.
Migration From n8n Cloud, Zapier & Make
04Workflows, credentials, and history moved onto your instance with a cutover plan that keeps automations running through the switch.
Scaling & Queue Mode
05Worker-based queue configuration for high-volume workloads, so thousands of daily executions run without choking the editor.
Five phases. Thirty days to live.

Questions
Self-Hosted n8n — FAQ
What does self-hosting n8n cost compared to cloud plans?
A ~$20/mo VPS runs unlimited executions. n8n Cloud starts around $24/mo with execution caps and climbs from there; equivalent Zapier volume often exceeds $500/mo. Self-hosting wins decisively once you run real volume.
Is self-hosted n8n secure?
Properly deployed, more secure than a shared cloud: your data never leaves your server. We harden the OS, terminate SSL at a reverse proxy, isolate the database, encrypt backups, and lock down access. Security is configuration, and we configure it.
What if the server goes down?
Monitoring alerts fire immediately, and nightly offsite backups mean the instance can be restored to a fresh server in under an hour using documented procedures. Most workflow triggers (webhooks aside) also queue or retry, so brief downtime rarely loses data.
Can you migrate us from Zapier, Make, or n8n Cloud?
Yes. We rebuild or import your workflows, migrate credentials securely, run both systems in parallel during validation, and cut over without dropping live automations. Most migrations complete inside our standard 30-day window.
Who maintains the instance after handover?
You can — updates are documented, and routine upkeep is minutes a month. If you would rather not think about it, we offer maintenance coverage; either way you hold root and the choice stays yours.
