Why self-host n8n

n8n’s cloud plans bill by the execution. Self-hosted, the community edition is free and the only cost is the server it runs on — so a workflow that fires a thousand times a day costs exactly the same as one that fires twice.

The second reason is the data. Automations tend to touch everything: invoices, customer records, API keys for half your stack. Self-hosted, all of that stays on a machine you hold the root password to.

What you need to run it

  • A VPS with at least 2 GB of RAM — n8n plus a Postgres database fits comfortably in the entry plan
  • Docker, which is the way n8n is normally deployed, or Node.js if you prefer
  • A domain or subdomain pointed at the server, so the editor and webhooks have a stable address
  • An SSL certificate, which Let’s Encrypt issues free once the domain resolves

All of that is a clean Ubuntu install and about twenty minutes. Nothing here needs a control panel, though you can add one at checkout if you would rather not work in a terminal.

Sizing the server

Just you, or a small team

The entry VPS is enough for a single instance with a handful of users: 2 vCPU and 4 GB of RAM run most of these applications comfortably alongside a database.

A busy team or several apps

Step up a plan when you are running more than one service on the same box, or when the database grows past a few gigabytes. Memory is usually what runs out first, not CPU.

Heavy or production use

The larger plans carry enough cores and memory for production workloads, CI runners and analytics. You can move up a plan at any time without rebuilding the server.

Unmanaged by default, managed if you want it

Every VPS is unmanaged unless you say otherwise, which is what keeps the price where it is: you have root, you choose the stack, and you patch it on your schedule.

If you would rather not, add Managed at checkout and our team handles operating-system updates, monitoring and the routine problems. You can also add backup storage by the terabyte and an additional IPv4 address from the same screen.

What every n8n VPS includes

  • KVM virtualisation

    Guaranteed vCPU and memory, not shared out when a neighbour gets busy.

  • Full root access

    Install any version, any dependency, any service the application needs.

  • DDoS protection

    Attack traffic is filtered before it reaches your server, at no extra cost.

  • Help when you need it

    Support by ticket and live chat, and a managed option if you want one.

n8n VPS Hosting: frequently asked questions

Is self-hosted n8n free?

The community edition is, under n8n’s fair-code license. You pay for the server, not per workflow or per execution. Their enterprise features are a separate commercial license from n8n itself.

Will my webhooks work?

Yes. Your VPS has its own dedicated IPv4 address, so webhooks from any service reach it directly once you point a domain at the server and issue a certificate.

How much does a VPS for n8n cost in Kenya?

Plans start at Ksh 1,480. Every plan above shows its cores, memory and storage with prices in Kenyan shillings, and you can switch between monthly and yearly billing.

Do you install n8n for me?

The VPS is unmanaged by default, so n8n is yours to install — it takes a few minutes on a clean server. If you would rather we did it, add the managed option at checkout or open a ticket and our team will set it up.

Which operating system should I choose?

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is the safest default and has the most documentation. Debian 11, AlmaLinux 9 and Rocky Linux 9 are there too, and all of them are selected at checkout at no extra cost.

Do I get root access?

Yes, full root. The machine is yours: install what you like, tune what you like.

Can I back it up?

Yes. Backup storage is a checkout option, priced by the terabyte, and you can add it later from the client area. Nothing is backed up automatically unless you add it.

Where are your VPS servers located?

In international data centres. There is no Kenya-located VPS and no Kenyan IP address; if your workload has to sit in a particular country we will say so plainly rather than sell you something that does not.
