About this Gig
n8n Cloud costs $20$50/month and caps your executions costs rise with usage. A $5 VPS runs n8n with unlimited executions, and your data never leaves your server.
But self-hosting means wrestling with Docker, reverse proxies, SSL, databases, backups, and security. One wrong step and your automations are down or exposed.
I install production-ready n8n on your VPS: Dockerized, on your domain with HTTPS, backed up daily, hardened. You get the login, the docs, zero server headaches.
What you get:
- n8n on your domain over HTTPS
- Postgres (Standard+) no data loss at scale
- Daily automatic backups
- Firewall + server hardening
- Plain-English handover document
How it works: you provide a fresh Ubuntu VPS and point a domain at it; you create a temporary sudo user for me (never your password revoked when done); I install and test the full stack; you get the owner login and confirmation my access is gone.
For freelancers, teams, and agencies paying per execution who'd rather own their stack. Fixed prices, no surprises and I never ask for passwords.
Message me with your VPS provider and I'll tell you in one reply if this fits and which package you need.

FAQ
Do you need my passwords?
No — never. You create a temporary sudo user on the VPS for the install, and you delete it when I hand over. I never see your passwords.
Which VPS providers work?
Any with Ubuntu 22.04 or 24.04 — Hetzner, DigitalOcean, Hostinger, Contabo, Linode, Vultr all fine. You need at least 2 GB RAM (1 GB works for Basic but I recommend 2 GB).
I don't have a domain yet. Can I still order?
You need a domain or subdomain pointed at the server for HTTPS. If you don't have one, grab any cheap domain first — or message me and I'll explain the 5-minute DNS step.
What happens to your access after handover?
Deleted, and I send you confirmation. The handover doc lists everything running on the server so you (or any future admin) know exactly what's there.
Will my workflows survive n8n updates?
Standard and Premium include a one-command update script, and backups run before every update. Premium also includes a tested backup restore — proof, not promises.
Can you migrate my existing n8n Cloud workflows?
Yes — Premium includes a guided export/import walkthrough. Your credentials stay yours; you re-enter them yourself.
