NorthHost delivers your VPS with n8n installed, configured and started. No execution limits, your credentials stay on your own server in Marseille, root access kept, DDoS protection included and support 7 days a week. From €7.90/month.
n8n Cloud bills by number of executions and limits how many workflows can be active depending on the plan. A monitoring workflow that runs every five minutes uses 8,640 executions a month on its own. On an n8n VPS there is no counter and no ceiling: the price is the price of the machine, whatever the number of automations running on it.
Self-hosting also gives you everything the hosted version restricts: community nodes, Code nodes with no library limits, environment variables, and root access to install whatever you want alongside.
At NorthHost, n8n is installed, configured and started while the server is deployed. You receive the address of your instance and your SSH credentials, and you create your first workflow in the browser. No Docker to configure, no file to edit to get started.
To receive webhooks from Stripe, GitHub or Typeform, all that is left is to point a subdomain at your server and enable HTTPS. If you have never done it, support will guide you.
Your workflows handle customer data, OAuth tokens and API keys. On your VPS at the Phocea DC in Marseille, all of that stays on a machine whose location you know, with a European hosting provider. It is a simple answer to the GDPR question your own clients always end up asking.
Two vCore and 4 GB of RAM are enough for dozens of ordinary workflows: that is the Pulse plan at €7.90 per month. What pushes the requirements up is large volumes of data processed in a single execution, concurrent executions and the history that builds up. Enable automatic pruning of the history as soon as you install, and move up the range pro rata when the load calls for it.
Our n8n VPS run on Intel Xeon Gold 6132 processors, DDR4 ECC error-correcting memory and 100% NVMe storage, with DDoS protection included and support 7 days a week on all four plans, from €7.90 to €32.90 per month.
Syncing a CRM with invoicing, posting to social networks from a spreadsheet, feeding an AI agent with your own data, monitoring websites and alerting on Slack, processing the orders of an online shop: n8n covers all of it. Self-hosted, it does so without limits and without your credentials leaving your server.
An Intel Xeon Gold 6132 Linux VPS on which n8n is installed and started automatically during deployment. You receive the address of your instance and your SSH credentials: the interface is ready, and you keep control of the machine.
It is installed, configured and started before you receive your credentials. No command line is needed to create your first workflow. Root access stays available to add anything else on the server.
Two vCore and 4 GB are enough for dozens of ordinary workflows. What pushes consumption up: large volumes of data in a single execution, many concurrent executions, and the history that builds up. Enable automatic pruning of the history, it is the first setting to change.
Yes. Point a subdomain at the IP address of your VPS and enable HTTPS: most services require a secure address to send their webhooks. If you have never done it, open a ticket and we will guide you.
No. Self-hosted n8n has no counter and no ceiling. The only limit is the power of your server, and you can change plan whenever you want, pro rata.
Self-hosted n8n is free for your own use and your company's use, under its Sustainable Use licence. Offering it as a service to third parties or embedding it in a product you sell requires a licence from n8n.
Yes. Export your workflows and your credentials from your old instance, then import them on your VPS. If you would rather not touch it, open a ticket: our support team will handle it.
