Self-host n8n on a real VPS
Run your own n8n automation server with a one-click install, full root, and no per-execution fees. Unlimited workflows on a dedicated NVMe box, from $6.49/mo.
n8n is at its best when you own it: no execution limits, no per-workflow pricing, and your data never leaves your server. Self-hosting it on a VPS gives you a dedicated machine with its own IP — the right home for workflows that touch private APIs, internal databases, and credentials you'd rather not hand to a SaaS.
Nxeon deploys n8n for you in one click, running and reachable on first boot, so you skip the Node, database, and reverse-proxy setup and go straight to building automations. Everything runs on enterprise NVMe over a self-healing ZFS mirror, so busy schedules and webhook bursts stay responsive.
Because you have full root, you can put n8n behind your own domain and SSL, pin it to a version you trust, connect it to a Postgres database for durable execution history, and snapshot before every upgrade. It's your automation hub, on infrastructure you control.
Built for n8n
One-click n8n install
Choose the n8n image and your server boots with n8n installed and running — no Node, database, or proxy wrangling before your first workflow.
No execution limits
Self-hosted means no per-execution billing and no workflow caps. Run as many automations and steps as your server can handle.
Your data stays yours
Credentials, payloads, and execution history live on your own VPS behind your firewall — not in someone else's multi-tenant cloud.
Full root + dedicated IP
SSH in to add a domain and SSL, set environment variables, or wire n8n to a Postgres database. A dedicated IPv4 makes webhooks and allow-lists reliable.
Snapshots before upgrades
Take an instant snapshot before bumping n8n to a new version — if a node changes behaviour, roll back in seconds.
DDoS protection + backups
Always-on DDoS mitigation, a managed firewall, and automatic daily backups keep your automation server online and recoverable.

Pick n8n + a plan
Select the one-click n8n image and a plan (Starter is plenty to begin), then deploy — n8n is live in under a minute.
- 3
Add a domain + SSL
Point a domain at your dedicated IP and issue SSL so your editor and webhook URLs run over HTTPS.

Build your first workflow
Open the n8n editor, connect your apps and credentials, and start automating. Full root is there whenever you want to tune it.
Pick your size
n8n runs comfortably on a 2 GB Starter for personal and small-team automation. Move up to Standard (4 GB) if you run many concurrent workflows, heavy data transforms, or a bundled Postgres database — and resize any time without a rebuild.

Questions, answered
Is n8n really one-click here?+
Yes. Pick the one-click n8n image and your VPS boots with n8n installed and running. Point a domain at it, add SSL, and you're building workflows — no manual Node or database setup.
Do I pay per execution or per workflow?+
No. This is self-hosted n8n on your own VPS, so there are no per-execution fees and no workflow limits. You pay a flat monthly price for the server and run as much as it can handle.
Which plan should I start with?+
A 2 GB Starter is fine for personal and small-team automation. Choose Standard (4 GB) for many concurrent workflows, heavy data transforms, or a bundled Postgres database. You can resize any time — no rebuild.
Can I use my own domain and keep it private?+
Yes. With full root and a dedicated IPv4 you can put n8n behind your own domain and SSL, restrict access with the managed firewall, and keep all credentials and data on your server.
How do I upgrade n8n safely?+
Take an instant snapshot first, then upgrade from the shell. If a new version changes a node's behaviour, roll back to the snapshot in seconds. Automatic daily backups add another safety net.
