1,000+ APPS, NO PER-TASK FEES
SELF-HOSTED N8N
n8n is the fair-code workflow platform that connects 1,000+ apps, with a visual editor and real code when you need it. Self-host it on a NoBull Networks Performance VPS: no per-task fees, no execution caps, one flat server price. Your data and credentials stay on your own disk. Under it: AMD EPYC™ cores capped at 60% load, benchmarks published, and a credit-backed 99.9% network uptime SLA.

WHY RUN N8N ON NOBULL NETWORKS

Automation servers are small, busy, and always on. That is exactly the workload our hardware is tuned for.

Single-Core Speed First

Node.js runs one core hard
  • n8n executes on Node.js, so per-core clock speed sets the pace of every workflow run
  • AMD EPYC 4000 series hosts at 4.5 GHz, with benchmarks published on VPSBenchmarks
  • Nodes capped at 60% average CPU load, so your flows are not stuck behind a noisy neighbor

NVMe For Run History

Every execution hits the database
  • n8n logs each run to its database: SQLite out of the box, PostgreSQL when you scale
  • RAID NVMe storage keeps saves, retries, and execution history searches quick
  • One free off-node backup included on every VPS plan

Webhooks Need Uptime

Missed events are lost work
  • Your workflows fire when apps call your webhook URL, so the server has to answer
  • Credit-backed 99.9% network uptime SLA with redundant switching behind every node
  • Dedicated IPv4 included, with TB-scale monthly transfer on every plan
ONE SERVER, EVERY INTEGRATION

Triggers come in, n8n decides, actions go out. All of it runs inside a VPS you control, nothing routed through someone else's automation cloud.

Webhooks SaaS events land here Schedules cron jobs and intervals Apps and forms chat, email, spreadsheets YOUR NOBULL NETWORKS VPS n8n visual editor, executions, queue SQLite or Postgres on RAID NVMe 1,000+ integrations Slack, Sheets, GitHub, CRMs Any HTTP API REST, GraphQL, webhooks out AI models bring your provider API keys
Zapier-style platforms bill per task, so busy automations get expensive fast. Self-hosted n8n flips that: your flat monthly server price covers every execution your hardware can handle.

Your Automations, Your Box

Free To Self-Host, Honestly Priced To Run

n8n is fair-code software under its Sustainable Use License: the Community edition is free to self-host for your own internal use, with paid tiers only for features like SSO or embedding. The only bill you pay us is the server.

We are straight about what that means: this is an unmanaged deployment. You get full root and own the n8n install; our engineers keep the hardware, network, and uptime SLA honest around it, 24/7.

Credentials for every app you connect live in your n8n instance, on your disk, in our Seattle facility. Not in a third-party automation cloud.

  • No Per-Execution Fees flat server pricing, run all your hardware allows
  • Full Root Access install anything n8n needs, reboot any time
  • 4.5 GHz Single-Core Clocks benchmarks published on VPSBenchmarks
  • RAID NVMe Storage fast executions database, fast history
  • 1 Free Off-Node Backup included with every VPS plan
  • 99.9% Network Uptime SLA credit-backed, not marketing
FROM ORDER TO FIRST WORKFLOW

n8n's own Docker image does the heavy lifting. Most deployments are answering webhooks within the hour.

Order your VPS

Pick a plan and check out. Your server is online in under 3 minutes with full root access and a dedicated IPv4 address.

Install Docker

SSH in and install Docker Engine from the official repository for your distribution. One package, two minutes.

Start n8n

Launch the official image with docker run against docker.n8n.io/n8nio/n8n, then put your domain and a reverse proxy with TLS in front of port 5678.

Build your first workflow

Open the editor, connect your first app, and start from the official template library. Executions are yours from here.

n8n publishes excellent self-hosting docs at docs.n8n.io, including Docker Compose examples with PostgreSQL and queue mode when you outgrow the single container.
Frequently Asked Questions
Self-hosting n8n on a NoBull Networks VPS

Explore the knowledge base or open a ticket in the Console. An engineer answers.

Is self-hosted n8n actually free?
Yes. n8n is fair-code software distributed under its Sustainable Use License: the Community edition is free to self-host for your own internal business use, and the source is public. Paid n8n tiers exist for things like SSO and embedding n8n in your own product. For most teams the only cost is the server it runs on.
Which plan should I start with?
The P20 (2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM) is the sweet spot for most production n8n instances. If you are testing the waters with a handful of personal flows, the P10 handles it. Heavy schedules, large payloads, or AI-driven workflows deserve the P40 or above. Upgrading later is a support ticket, not a migration project.
Do you cap workflow executions?
No. There is no per-task or per-execution billing on a self-hosted instance; that is the whole point. Your limits are the plan's CPU, RAM, and monthly transfer allowance, all listed on the plan card, and nothing else.
Should I use SQLite or PostgreSQL?
n8n ships with SQLite, which is fine for getting started and stays quick on our NVMe storage. For production workloads, high execution volume, or queue mode, n8n recommends PostgreSQL, and it runs happily on the same VPS alongside n8n via Docker Compose.
Do you install or manage n8n for me?
No, and we would rather say that plainly than sell you a managed sticker. You deploy n8n with root access using n8n's official docs. Our engineers keep the node underneath it online 24/7 and answer server-level questions; application-level n8n help lives in the n8n docs and community forum.
Can I run AI workflows on a VPS?
Yes. n8n's AI nodes call hosted model APIs, so the heavy compute happens at your provider while your VPS orchestrates prompts, tools, and results. Bring your own API keys and the P20 or P40 handles it comfortably. Running large local models on a VPS is a different story; for that, talk to us about a custom deployment first.
