Managed n8n Hosting: We Run It, You Own It, from $20 a Month
A dedicated n8n instance set up, secured, updated, backed up and monitored by us, for $20 to $50 a month. You get the economics of self-hosting, no per-execution fees and no plan ceiling, without touching a server, and you keep ownership of the instance and the data. Compare that with n8n Cloud at €20 a month for 2,500 executions or €50 for 10,000, and with a bare VPS at $6.49 to $11.99 a month that you maintain yourself.
What you get
- Your own dedicated n8n instance on its own domain or subdomain.
- Full setup: SSL, security hardening, correct webhook configuration, Postgres database.
- n8n version updates applied and tested, with a rollback path.
- Daily backups and uptime monitoring with alerts to us and to you.
- Bug fixes when something breaks, and workflow build support when you need a hand.
- No execution limits, no per-step charges, no plan ceilings.
The honest comparison
| Option | Monthly cost | Execution limit | Who maintains it |
|---|---|---|---|
| OpsThrive managed instance | $20 to $50 | None (server capacity) | Us |
| n8n Cloud Starter | €20 billed annually | 2,500 executions | n8n |
| n8n Cloud Pro | €50 billed annually | 10,000 executions | n8n |
| Your own VPS (e.g. Hostinger KVM 1) | $6.49 intro, $11.99 renewal | None | You: updates, backups, SSL, monitoring |
If you have someone who enjoys running servers, a VPS is the cheapest option and we will happily set it up as a one-off project. If you do not, the managed instance is the VPS price plus the person. Every number above is from the vendors' own pages; see the self-hosted n8n cost guide.

Frequently asked questions
What does managed n8n hosting include?
Your own dedicated n8n instance, full setup with SSL and security hardening, version updates, backups, uptime monitoring, bug fixes when something breaks, and workflow build support. No VPS or server management on your side.
How much does it cost?
$20 to $50 a month depending on the size of the instance and the support you want. There are no execution limits; the server's capacity is the only ceiling. Setup is included.
n8n Cloud vs managed self-hosting: which is cheaper?
n8n Cloud is €20 a month billed annually for 2,500 executions and €50 for 10,000. Our managed instance is $20 to $50 with no execution cap. Under a couple of thousand executions a month, Cloud is simple and fairly priced; past 10,000 a month, managed self-hosting costs a fraction. The full comparison is in our cost guide.
Who owns the server and the data?
You do. The instance runs for you, in your name, and if you ever leave you keep everything: workflows, credentials, execution history. We never copy your workflows to our own systems.
Can you migrate my existing n8n Cloud or VPS instance?
Yes. We export your workflows and credentials, stand up the new instance, run both in parallel until outputs match, then switch over. Nothing goes dark.
What are n8n's server requirements?
n8n does not publish a minimum. Commercial n8n plans give a guide: 1 vCPU and 1 to 4 GB of RAM runs a typical small business instance comfortably. We size yours to your workflows and scale it when needed.
