Self-hosted n8n on your VPSnet VPS
Automate workflows on a VPS you control. VPSnet maintains the n8n recipe and gives you managed HTTPS, health, restart, and logs without requiring SSH for routine work.
- Managed one-click install
- HTTPS on *.vpsnet.cloud
- Generated owner sign-in
- DDoS protection included
n8n on a VPS you own — without Compose homework
Managed catalog install
Install from Applications or select n8n while ordering. Choose the access mode, set TIMEZONE under Additional settings when needed, and save the generated owner email and password once installation finishes.
Platform HTTPS
Open URL on a managed hostname when the certificate is active. Certificate pending is normal while DNS and SSL finish — not an install failure.
Your server, your workflows
Keep automations on a VPS you control. Use n8n credentials and workflows as usual; restart, logs, update, and uninstall stay in the Applications panel.
DDoS protection included
VPSnet network protection covers your VPS traffic. Pair it with managed HTTPS for a secure public UI without a separate edge stack.
API & MCP ready
Manage VPSnet services with API keys and vpsnet-mcp. For install and Open URL, the Applications panel remains the primary path.
Honest scope
Catalog n8n is a single managed install — not a SaaS plan grid, and not multi-node queue workers unless the product page lists them. Custom Compose remains an advanced option when enabled.
From order to first workflow in four steps
Order VPS with n8n
Pick Firecracker VPS or Cloud VPS that meets n8n sizing. Select n8n on the order form or install later from Applications.
Confirm install & TIMEZONE
Set TIMEZONE under Additional settings if offered and choose the access mode. If this recipe version offers a customer-editable password field, enter your own strong value or leave it empty for VPSnet to generate a random one. Confirm the runtime restart when asked.
Save the owner sign-in
Open Show generated credentials in Applications and copy ADMIN_EMAIL and ADMIN_PASSWORD to your password manager. The panel shows them once and does not send them by email.
Open URL & create a workflow
When the certificate is active, choose Open URL, build a small workflow, execute it once, then add an automatic trigger and publish it.
Pay for the VPS — n8n install is part of Managed Applications
There is no separate n8n SaaS tier on VPSnet. Choose a VPS or Cloud VPS that fits n8n resources, then install from Applications. Use the order CTAs below with n8n pre-selected, then follow the full install guide.
n8n hosting questions
01Is this n8n Cloud (SaaS) or self-hosted?
It is self-hosted on your VPSnet VPS. VPSnet provides the managed recipe, initial owner sign-in, HTTPS, health, and lifecycle controls. This is not an n8n SaaS subscription sold by VPSnet.
02Do I need Docker knowledge?
No. Use Applications to install n8n, save the generated owner sign-in, wait for HTTPS, and open it. Raw Compose remains an advanced alternative when enabled, not the default path.
03What about unlimited workflows vs n8n Cloud limits?
On your VPS, workflow capacity follows your server resources and n8n itself — not a VPSnet workflow quota. Size the VPS using the product page requirements.
04Is DDoS protection included?
Yes — VPSnet includes network DDoS protection for VPS traffic. See the DDoS protection advantage page for how filtering works.
05Where is the step-by-step with screenshots and variables?
