Self-hosted n8n · Set up by hand

Self-hosted n8n, set up and managed for you. On a server in your own account.

Our team installs, configures and looks after n8n by hand on a server in your own account. You rent the server from a provider you choose and pay them directly; our work has a fixed price, from $7.79 a month.

Ordered with a request: no self-serve deploy and no card. Our setup and management cost from $7.79 a month on 24 months or $14.29 month to month, and the server is billed separately by your provider. We confirm your order and how you pay in the dashboard.

On-demand delivery (24–48 hours): your instance is not built automatically — our team builds and configures it by hand on demand within 24–48h after confirming your order.

How self-hosted n8n works with us

n8n is a workflow automation tool: you connect apps, APIs and AI models in a visual editor, with code steps and webhooks where you need them. Its AI Agent node lets a workflow call a chat model that can use tools.

Our team sells it and sets it up by hand. You send an order, we confirm the order and how you pay, and then we install n8n on a server in your own account, with a hosting provider you choose. Nothing is deployed automatically, and n8n is not on the servers of our shared hosting platform: we never host it ourselves.

The server is yours and you pay your provider for it; our price covers the setup and management. You run n8n under its Sustainable Use License (fair-code): read the license and n8n’s license FAQ to see what applies to your use.

Your own server, with n8n set up and looked after for you

  • Set up and looked after by hand

    Our team installs and configures n8n, then updates it and helps you through the dashboard’s support inbox. You need no Docker and no terminal.

  • Your workflows, your data

    Workflows, credentials and execution history stay on your own server, and the n8n owner account is yours.

  • The license

    You run n8n under its Sustainable Use License (fair-code). Read the license and n8n’s license FAQ to see what applies to your use.

  • A fixed price for our work

    From $7.79 a month on 24 months or $14.29 month to month, the same price list as Hermes Agent and OpenClaw. The server is billed separately by your provider, and nothing is set up before we confirm your order.

  • One thread for everything

    Your order, our confirmation, updates and every question stay in the dashboard’s support inbox, with an email when we answer.

From order to n8n on your server in four steps

You talk to our team in the dashboard; we do the setup by hand.

  1. Send your orderCreate an account and send the prefilled order from the dashboard. Add the term, whether you already have a server, what you want to automate and how many people will use it.
  2. We confirm your order and paymentOur team answers in the dashboard with your term, the price and how you pay, and suggests a server to rent if you do not have one yet.
  3. We set it up by handOnce your order and payment are confirmed, you give our team access to your server and we install and configure n8n on it by hand. Nothing is deployed automatically.
  4. Build your workflowsYou set up your n8n owner account and start automating; our team looks after updates and answers your questions in the support inbox.

What it costs

One price for Hermes Agent, OpenClaw and n8n. For the agents it covers a separate instance that our team sets up by hand on demand (ready in 24–48h); for n8n it covers our setup and management, and your hosting provider bills the server in your own account. Model usage is not included: you use your own API key.

TermBilled up frontPer monthRenews at
24 months$186.96 for 24 months$7.79 / month$15.59 / month
12 months$124.68 for 12 months$10.39 / month$15.59 / month
Monthly$14.29 each month$14.29 / month$14.29 / month

US dollars, excluding VAT. A long term is billed up front, so its monthly figure is not a monthly charge. You order with a request in the dashboard, and we confirm your order, the term and how you pay (crypto or invoice) before our team builds your instance on demand within 24–48 hours.

Run n8n yourself, or have our team do it?

Either way n8n runs on a server you rent. What changes is who installs it and looks after it.

SpeedAs fast as you set it upNot instant: set up by hand after we confirm your order and payment

Good to know: this is not a self-serve product. There is no instant deploy and no checkout: our team sells and sets up every n8n installation by hand after we confirm your order and payment, so it takes longer than one click. The server is not included: you rent it in your own account and pay your provider for it.

Self-hosted n8n questions

What exactly do I order here?

Setup and management of n8n on a server in your own account. Our team installs, configures and looks after n8n by hand at a fixed monthly price; the server is yours, and you pay your provider for it. Nothing is deployed automatically.

Why do I order with a request?

Our team sells and sets up every n8n installation by hand, and paid checkout is not open yet, so we confirm each order and how you pay before we start.

Does n8n run on your hosting platform?

No, never. n8n runs on a server in your own account with a provider you choose, not on the servers of our shared hosting platform. We never host n8n on our servers.

Do I need a server already?

No. Say so in your order and we suggest what to rent. You rent the server in your own account, pay your provider for it and give our team access, and then we set up n8n.

Why does n8n run on my own server?

That is how we sell n8n: the server and the account with your provider are yours, and our team does the setup and upkeep by hand. We never host n8n ourselves.

What license does n8n use?

n8n is fair-code under the Sustainable Use License, and you run n8n under it. Read the license and n8n’s license FAQ to see what applies to your use.

What does it cost?

Our setup and management cost from $7.79 a month on 24 months, $10.39 a month on 12 months or $14.29 month to month, in US dollars excluding VAT. The 12- and 24-month terms renew at $15.59 a month when they end; month to month stays at $14.29 a month. The server is billed separately by your provider and is not included.

Can n8n run AI agents?

Yes, with n8n’s own AI Agent node and a chat model you connect with your own credentials. The model and its costs come from the model provider you choose.

How do I order?
