n8n Hosting on Your Own Server
Rent a server on the Flux decentralized cloud that comes with n8n already installed. You deploy it, you own it and you run n8n on it, without building the server, the database or the HTTPS setup first.
What you rent, and what you run
Self-hosting n8n is powerful because your workflows, credentials and data live on your own instance, with no metered executions and no vendor holding the keys. The catch has always been the plumbing: a server to rent, a database to run, TLS and webhooks to configure. A Flux server comes with that plumbing done. What you pay for is the server; n8n itself is free software from n8n GmbH, which you run under its Sustainable Use License.
The server runs on a decentralized network of independent nodes rather than a single provider’s data center. Flux keeps that network running; what runs inside your n8n is up to you.
What every plan comes with
A blank VPS vs. a Flux server for n8n
Both give you a real, unrestricted n8n instance that you run. The difference is how much of the server you have to build before you can open the editor.
A blank VPS
- •Rent and secure a VPS, then keep its OS patched
- •Write and maintain a Docker Compose stack with PostgreSQL
- •Configure TLS, a reverse proxy, webhooks and an encryption key
- •Build failover for the database yourself
A Flux server
- Pick a plan and click deploy: live in about 30 seconds
- n8n, PostgreSQL with failover and the HTTPS address come preinstalled
- Webhooks and triggers work on a real address out of the box
- The node network underneath is kept running by Flux
- n8n, its workflows, credentials and data are yours to run
What an n8n server costs
You pay the Flux network price for the server’s resources, with nothing added for n8n and no per-execution or per-task meter, so a busy automation costs the same whether it fires a hundred or a hundred thousand times. Plans start at $6.99/month with the first week free, billed monthly with no long-term contract. The tiers scale the memory of the n8n instance and its high-availability PostgreSQL database:
- Small: 1GB for n8n with a 1GB HA PostgreSQL cluster, for lighter or personal automations.
- Medium: 2GB for n8n with a 1GB HA PostgreSQL cluster, for busier teams and more concurrent runs.
- Large: 4GB for n8n with a 2GB HA PostgreSQL cluster, for heavy AI-agent and high-volume pipelines.
Exact CPU, RAM, storage and prices are pulled live from the Flux Marketplace and shown on the pricing section of the homepage.
Deploy in about 30 seconds
There is no server to build. Choose a plan, deploy, and a dedicated n8n instance with its HA PostgreSQL database comes up on the Flux network in roughly half a minute, reachable on a secure HTTPS URL with webhooks already working. Bringing existing automations over is just as quick: n8n workflows are portable JSON, so you export them from any instance and import them into your new one, re-entering credentials for security.
Own your data, no lock-in, no caps
It is your server. Your credentials, workflows and execution data stay on your own dedicated instance, never a shared multi-tenant pool. There are no artificial execution or active-workflow limits — you are bounded only by the resources of your plan. And because everything runs on independent decentralized nodes as portable JSON, you can move off whenever you like. Nothing is held hostage.

Frequently asked questions
What do I get when I host n8n on Flux?
Your own server on the Flux network with n8n preinstalled from its official Docker image, a 3-node HA PostgreSQL cluster and an HTTPS address. You deploy it and you own it; you run n8n on it under n8n GmbH's Sustainable Use License, and Flux keeps the infrastructure underneath running.
How much does an n8n server on Flux cost?
A Flux server for n8n starts at $6.99/month with the first week free, billed monthly with no long-term contract. You pay the network price for the server resources rather than a per-execution charge, so high-volume automations don’t inflate the bill. The Small, Medium and Large servers scale the n8n and PostgreSQL memory.
Do I own my data?
Yes. Your credentials, workflows and execution data live on your own dedicated instance, not in a shared multi-tenant pool. Because n8n workflows are portable JSON and your instance runs on independent decentralized nodes, you can export and move everything at any time with no vendor lock-in.
Are there execution limits?
No. Unlike metered SaaS tiers, a self-hosted instance on your own Flux server has no artificial execution or active-workflow caps. You get unlimited workflow runs and unlimited active workflows, bounded only by the CPU, RAM and storage of your chosen plan.
How fast can I deploy an n8n server?
About 30 seconds. Pick a plan and deploy, and a dedicated n8n instance with a high-availability PostgreSQL database comes online on the Flux network on a secure HTTPS URL with webhooks already working. Existing workflows import as JSON in minutes.
