n8n is an open-source workflow automation tool — a self-hostable alternative to Zapier and Make — with 400+ integrations and native AI/LLM nodes. Self-hosting it on your own VPS means no per-execution pricing, no workflow limits, and full control over where your data and API credentials live. On an Internetport cloud VPS, that's a server in Sweden, under EU law.

Why self-host n8n with us

Your data stays in the EU

Workflows, credentials and the data they move all live on a server in Sweden — not a US cloud. Simpler GDPR story.

No per-execution fees

Run unlimited workflows and executions. You pay a flat monthly price for the VPS — not per run like n8n Cloud.

Full root access

Install community nodes, run it in Docker, add a queue worker — it's your server, with KVM full virtualisation.

Deployed in 60 seconds

Your VPS is provisioned in under a minute. Add CyberPanel or Plesk, or just SSH in and run Docker.

Frequently asked questions

n8n's Community Edition is free and open-source (fair-code licence) and includes unlimited workflows and executions. You only pay for the VPS it runs on. The paid n8n Enterprise features are optional and separate — the community edition covers the vast majority of use cases.

2 GB is enough for personal use and a handful of workflows. For a team with moderate automation — especially workflows that call AI/LLM nodes or move larger payloads — 4 GB is the sweet spot. For many concurrent workflows or n8n's queue mode with separate workers, choose 8 GB or more.

Yes. You can run your business's internal automations on a self-hosted n8n instance. (n8n's fair-code licence does restrict reselling n8n itself as a hosted service to third parties — but using it to automate your own operations is exactly what it's for.)

n8n stores workflows and credentials in its database (SQLite or Postgres) and a data volume. Snapshot that volume and dump the database on a schedule — push both to our S3-compatible object storage in Sweden for off-box backups with no egress fees.
