Host n8n on a VPS. Pre-installed, with unlimited executions.
Log in to a running n8n editor with PostgreSQL and automatic SSL already set up. Build unlimited workflows and run them as often as you like. The only meter on this server is uptime.
Pre-installed with PostgreSQL
Unlimited executions
Full root access
100% data ownership
Running on first login. Nothing to configure.
Run n8n from day one.
Every plan includes n8n installation, unmetered bandwidth, and full root access.
Length of Subscription
Automate anythingwithout execution limits
Private AI Agents and LLM Workflows
Chain n8n AI Agent nodes with any model you choose, or run Ollama on the same server so prompts and data never leave it.
Sync Thousands of Leads Without Paying Per Task
Webhook triggers catch every form fill and push it to your CRM. Your 10,000th sync this month costs the same as your first.
Proprietary Data Ops and Secure Sync
Move sensitive records between internal APIs and databases. Credentials sit in your n8n vault on your server, nowhere else.
Automated Media and Content Pipelines
Draft newsletters, process images, and schedule posts. Unmetered bandwidth means media-heavy runs never add a line to your bill.
Privacy-First Marketing and Analytics
Pipe events into your own PostgreSQL and alert on what matters. Every row stays on hardware you control.
24/7 Personal Support AI Assistants
Run WhatsApp or Telegram support agents around the clock, and install any community node they need with root access.
Production-grade from the first login
PostgreSQL from day one
n8n installs with SQLite by default. Your server starts on PostgreSQL, the database n8n recommends for production, so heavy workflows have a real database behind them.
HTTPS without the homework
Launch with your domain and SSL configures itself through a Caddy reverse proxy. No certificates to chase, no proxy configs to debug.
Updates on your schedule
n8n ships new releases constantly. Run n8n-update when you are ready and skip it when you are not. Nobody upgrades your production instance behind your back.
One-command backups
n8n-backup snapshots your workflow database whenever you want a restore point before an update or a big change.
Any community node, all 11,000+
Install community nodes straight from npm, including ones that need system packages like ffmpeg or Python. Root access means there is no approval list.
Room for AI
Every plan starts at 4GB of RAM, the community bar for production n8n, with headroom to run local models through Ollama.
Stop budgeting in executions
A workflow that checks something every five minutes runs 8,640 times a month — more than three times what n8n Cloud's entry plan includes. On your VPS, nothing is counting. Meters run out mid-month; servers don't.
per month on n8n Cloud Starter, which includes 2,500 executions a month
per month for your first 3 months on Stack 4, with unlimited executions and unmetered bandwidth
n8n Cloud publishes pricing in EUR (€20/mo billed annually at n8n.io/pricing, July 2026); amounts shown in other currencies are approximate conversions. An execution is one full workflow run. Self-hosted n8n Community Edition applies no execution quota; capacity depends on your plan resources.
Other VPS hosts meter your bandwidth. We don’t.
Most providers hand you a transfer allowance, then bill you per gigabyte the moment you exceed it — so a traffic spike becomes a surprise invoice. DreamHost doesn’t meter bandwidth at all.
is what 10 TB of monthly transfer costs on AWS Lightsail. On a DreamHost Self-Managed VPS, the same 10 TB costs $0.
| Provider | Bandwidth | Overage rate | Cost at 10 TB/mo | Cost at 50 TB/mo |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DreamHost | Unmetered | No overage | $0 | $0 |
| AWS Lightsail | Metered | $0.09/GB | $810 | $4,410 |
| DigitalOcean | Metered | $0.01/GB | $90 | $490 |
| Vultr | Metered | $0.01/GB | $75 | $475 |
| Linode / Akamai | Metered | $0.005/GB | $45 | $245 |
No transfer caps, no overage fees, no surprise invoice when your traffic spikes — fair use applies.
Competitor figures are each provider's publicly listed overage rates as of June 2026, for outbound transfer beyond each provider's included transfer allowance (plan plus any account-level free-transfer grant). Providers publish these rates in USD; amounts shown in other currencies are approximate conversions. DreamHost Self-Managed VPS includes unmetered bandwidth with no per-GB or per-TB overage charges, subject to terms.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. The n8n Community Edition is free to self-host for your own business or personal use. You pay for the server it runs on, and nothing per execution — at any volume.
- The server is the whole bill. Stack 4 starts at $8.99/mo for the first three months, then $15.99/mo, and includes pre-installed n8n, PostgreSQL, unmetered bandwidth, and as many executions as your hardware can handle.
- n8n Cloud is n8n's hosted service, priced in execution tiers — the entry plan includes 2,500 executions a month. Self-hosting the free Community Edition on your own VPS removes the meter entirely and lets you install any community node.
- Yes, all of them. More than 11,000 community node packages on npm install into a self-hosted instance, including nodes that need system packages like ffmpeg or Python. Full root access means there is no approval list.
- You do, with one command. Your server ships with an n8n-update helper that pulls the latest release and restarts your instance when you choose, so production automations never change behind your back.
- Yes. Export your workflows as JSON from any n8n instance and import them into your new editor. Credentials cannot be exported from n8n, so plan a few minutes to re-enter them.
- DreamHost support is available 24/7. Hardware, network, and connectivity are all supported by our team. You can also reach us via live chat or email through the panel at any time.
