n8n Hosting: Self-Host n8n Without Managing Servers
Self host n8n with xCloud in a few clicks. Build smart automations with 500+ app integrations, pre-built workflows, and AI nodes without coding.
- One-click n8n deployment, no terminal
- Unlimited workflows, never priced per task
- Free SSL, automated backups and monitoring
One Click To Live
Pick n8n from the One Click Apps catalogue, name the site, and go.
Your Data, Your Box
A dedicated instance on your own server, with SSH and database access.
Flat Monthly Price
You pay for the server, not per execution. A busy workflow costs the same.
Patched And Watched
Security updates, backups and process monitoring run without you scheduling them.
Managed hosting
The Server Is Ours To Run. The Instance Is Yours To Use
Self-hosting n8n normally means owning a Linux box, a Node runtime, a process manager, a proxy and a backup story. Every one of those is provisioned, configured and maintained here, and you still get root on the machine.
Provisioned For You
Launch a managed server in 30+ locations, or connect a VPS you already run. n8n installs the same way on both.
Proxy Already Wired
NGINX sits in front of the n8n process on the port chosen at create time, so nothing is exposed that should not be.
Node Version You Choose
n8n needs Node.js 20 or later. Set it from Node Configuration on the server and change it later without a rebuild.
Process Supervision
The instance runs under PM2 and restarts itself if it falls over. Its log is in the Monitoring tab when you need it.
Backups On A Schedule
Automated local and remote backups of the site and its data, restorable in a few clicks when something goes wrong.
Patched Automatically
Operating system security updates are applied on the servers we manage, so the box under n8n does not drift.
Everything The n8n Dashboard Needs, Wired From xCloud
The parts of running n8n that live outside n8n itself, moved into one control panel instead of six config files.
500+ Integrations
Connect the apps you already pay for, drop in AI nodes, and start from a pre-built workflow rather than an empty canvas.
Unlimited Workflows
Run as many workflows and executions as your server has room for. There is no per-task meter on a self-hosted instance.
Environment Editor
Edit the n8n environment variables straight from the dashboard, no SSH session. Available on PRO plans.
Timezone Control
Set the instance timezone at create time so scheduled and cron-triggered workflows fire on your clock, not the server's.
Custom & Test Domains
Start on a free demo subdomain, then attach your own domain, plus any additional domains you need.
Webhooks On HTTPS
Your instance answers on a real domain with a valid certificate, which is what most services require before they will call a webhook.
Deployment
From Catalogue To First Workflow In Four Steps
This is the actual flow in the dashboard, not a simplified version of it. NGINX is the recommended web server for n8n, and the app wants at least 4 GB of RAM and 2 CPU cores.
Pick n8n
From your dashboard choose New Site, select your server, then open One Click Apps and pick n8n from the catalogue.
Name the site
Add a site title and tags, then choose Go Live for production or Demo Site to try first. Promoting a demo is one-way.
Set the domain
A demo gets a temporary subdomain; a live site takes your own. Set the timezone your scheduled workflows should follow.
Register and build
Open the site, create the owner account n8n asks for, and build your first workflow. SSL is issued once DNS resolves.
Security
An Automation Server Holds Every Credential You Own
n8n stores the API keys to everything it touches, which makes the box it runs on one of the more sensitive servers you will operate. These defaults are on before your first workflow runs.
Free SSL, Auto-Renewed
A certificate is issued once your domain resolves and renewed before it expires, so webhook callers never hit a lapsed HTTPS endpoint.
Fail2Ban By Default
Brute-force protection is enabled on every xCloud server, guarding the SSH port without you configuring it.
Firewall You Control
Per-server firewall rules from the dashboard, so the only ports open are the ones you decided to open.
Isolated Site User
Each site runs under its own system user, so a compromise in one app on the server does not walk into the next.
Automated Patching
Operating system security updates are applied for you on managed servers rather than waiting for someone to remember.
Restorable Backups
Local and remote backups on a schedule, with one-click restore, so a bad workflow edit is an inconvenience and not an incident.
Run n8n On A Server We Manage
Launch a managed server in 30+ locations and we handle the operating system, security patching, backups and monitoring. n8n wants at least 4 GB of RAM and 2 CPU cores, and you can host as many sites on the server as it has room for.

The alternative
Self-Hosting n8n By Hand vs Self-Hosting It On xCloud
A VPS and the install docs is a perfectly good way to run n8n. It is just a list of jobs, and this is that list. Everything on the right comes with the panel, on your server or ours.
Scroll the table sideways to compare.
| By hand on a bare VPS | With xCloud |
|---|---|
| Install Node, a process manager and a reverse proxy before n8n starts once. | Pick n8n from the catalogue. Node, PM2 and NGINX are configured during the install. |
| Work out why it returns 502 after a reboot and nothing restarted it. | The process is supervised and restarts itself, with its log in the Monitoring tab. |
| Issue certificates yourself, then notice the month renewal silently failed. | SSL is issued and renewed automatically on your own domain. |
| Edit environment variables over SSH and restart the service by hand. | Edit the n8n environment from the dashboard on a PRO plan and apply it there. |
| Remember to back up, and find out during an incident whether restore works. | Scheduled local and remote backups with one-click restore. |
| Stand up somewhere to test before you point a real domain at it. | Deploy on a free demo subdomain first, then attach your own domain. |
Who it is for
Built For Teams Whose Automation Has Become Infrastructure
There is a point where an automation platform stops being a convenience and starts carrying real business process. These are the four ways teams reach it.
Teams Watching The Task Meter
Your automation bill now scales with how well the business is doing. A flat server price does not.
Anyone Handling Customer Data
Records that cannot leave your infrastructure, on a server in a region you picked, with a database you can read.
Builders Wiring Up AI
AI nodes calling your own model keys, next to the OpenClaw or Hermes agent already running on your account.
Agencies Running Client Ops
One instance per client, each on its own domain and its own system user, all in the same dashboard.
Hear what people are saying about us
See why agencies, developers, startups, and growing businesses choose xCloud to power their projects.
xCloud works really well, I am surprised by its performance being this the release version, I have tried many paid platforms such as runcloud, cloudpages or serveravatar, as well as free platforms such as CyberPanel, CloudPanel or Hestia Control Panel and direct competitors such as SpinupWP and FlyWP. Of all those that I have tried, the platform that works best for WordPress is SpinupWP and I believe that xCloud can reach and surpass that development, its roadmap is promising. Congratulations to the xCloud team, I hope they become the leading platform in the segment, it has all the potential to achieve it!
Brian GeovannyI've been with runcloud for the last 3 years. However, after trying xcloud for the last month, I'm switching over. They are on a roll with their setup.
Kevin PinedaI'm moving my servers to xCloud, a cloud control panel by M Asif Rahman and the WPDeveloper team. Their roadmap looks interesting and no, there are no team mates nor API limits with xCloud! #xCloud #wordpress #hosting
Leo KooHow Cloud Nine Web Elevated Client Experience While Streamlining Hosting Operations using xCloud
Ed EllinghamxCloud is like having an expert server team on call — without the big agency costs. It's given me back my time and given my clients peace of mind. Highly recommended for freelancers and small teams who want reliable performance and security.
Dumitru ButucelxCloud isn't just a solution. It's like one of that friend who got your back when you screw things up pretty bad.
Waqar AhmedTrust me when I say, once people explore the potential of xCloud they gonna switch from other panels, just keep delivering the best tech, lots of love for the team 😍😍
Rahul SinghSo far my experience has been smooth like silk. I didn't imagine that configuring and managing a VPS would be so easy. As of today, I have deployed 8 sites. The support is good, and they treat users with respect, even if they ask stupid questions (myself included). For the future, I hope for greater flexibility in scheduled backups and more comprehensive and consistent documentation. I'm sure that within a few months, xCloud will become the leader in its segment. This community is amazing, and the Staff here is super helpful.
Massimo VillaCame from cloudways then to runcloud then to xcloud. Looks like I'm staying here.
Gerson ElI've recently taken all of my Vultr-hosted sites and gotten rid of cPanel for them to substitute it with xCloud. I have to say, I'm really impressed with xCloud so far! The interface is definitely the standout feature for me.
Tony LewisI came from Cloudways and won't go back. Highly impressed with xCloud. Glad I gave them a chance.
Jared McDowellI like xCloud better than RunCloud, but one thing I'll point out is that some years ago RunCloud was hungry for business, the support was outstanding, and the community was active and helped each other. Maybe it was sold, there was a change in management, or they stopped being hungry, but the quality of the RunCloud offering declined and it hasn't been moving forward quickly. My point is that currently the xCloud team has the edge and it is theirs to keep or lose
David McCanHow Kevin Heinrichs Cut Hosting Costs by 84% While Running WooCommerce & Node.js Sites Efficiently
Kevin HeinrichsI had 150 sites on cloudways and am in the process of moving them to xcloud. Much faster and better priced.
Dan SpinozaDear xCloud Team, I have been using xCloud for some time now and am genuinely impressed with its capabilities and the flexibility it offers by allowing users to bring their own VPS for management. It's a fantastic service, and my experience so far has been very positive. Successful migrated 5 sites on a single server. Xcloud migration tool worked great. There were few hiccups with security plugin like MalCare but disabling the plugin prior to migration worked just fine.
Rahil MaknojiaCame from runcloud. Tried xcloud and never came back.
Karl FanegaHow Advanced Web Strategies Saved Over $2,000 & Recovered 56 Hours per Month Managing 70+ Client Websites
Gary MoodyxCloud gave me what no other hosting platform could: the flexibility of a VPS with the convenience of managed WordPress. As a solo founder running an entire business on one server, that combination is an important unfair advantage.
Jorge de los Reyes MartínezI use Server Avatar and xCloud and I'll sooner use xCloud than Server Avatar personally.

John ApertureI went from Cloudways to xCloud. No intention on switching in the foreseeable future.
Blaine MooreFrequently Asked Questions
The runtime, the server size, the free plan, domains and what happens when it stops responding.
Is n8n on xCloud running in Docker?
No. The one-click app installs n8n as a Node process supervised by PM2 behind an NGINX reverse proxy, which is why you choose a Node version rather than an image tag. If you would rather run n8n's official Docker image, xCloud deploys Docker applications from a Git repository or a Compose file as a separate route, with the same SSL, domains, backups and monitoring around it.
Do I get a dedicated n8n installation?
Yes. It is your own instance on your own server, not a tenant on a shared one. You have full access to the n8n administration panel with no feature held back, plus SSH to the machine underneath.
What size server does n8n need?
At least 4 GB of RAM and 2 CPU cores. NGINX is the recommended web server for n8n; OpenLiteSpeed works but is less reliable for this app. You can resize a managed server later from the dashboard if your workflows outgrow it.
Is there a free plan for n8n on xCloud?
n8n is available on every plan, including the free one. The Environment editor, which lets you change n8n's environment variables from the dashboard, requires a PRO plan.
Can I use my own domain name?
Yes. A demo deployment gets a temporary subdomain from xCloud, and a live one takes your own domain with SSL issued automatically once it resolves. You can add additional domains from the Domain tab at any time. Note that promoting a demo site to live is one-way, so the demo subdomain is not available afterwards.
How are updates handled?
xCloud keeps the server underneath current: operating system security updates are applied automatically on managed servers, and you choose the Node version from Node Configuration. n8n's own version stays under your control from inside the instance, so an update never lands mid-workflow without you.
What happens if n8n stops responding?
PM2 supervises the process and restarts it if it exits. If you are seeing a 503, the usual cause is a Node version below 20; the PM2 log in the Monitoring tab shows crashes and restarts, and there is a documented fix.
Can I run n8n on a server I already own?
Yes. Connect a VPS from DigitalOcean, Vultr, Linode, AWS, Hetzner or your own hardware and deploy n8n on it with the same one-click flow. The panel features are identical; what changes is who owns the machine and who patches the operating system.
n8n Automates The Plumbing. These Two Do The Thinking
Most people who self-host n8n end up wanting an agent beside it. Both deploy from the same dashboard, on their own pricing.
