Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about self-hosting n8n

Starter (€11.99/mo): Perfect for personal projects handling 5-10 workflows.

Professional (€19.99/mo): Great for freelancers with 15-25 workflows.

Yes! Unlike n8n Cloud which limits you to 2,500-40,000 executions/month, self-hosting means zero execution limits. You can run 100,000, 1 million, or unlimited workflows per month. The only limit is your server's resources (CPU/RAM), which you control by choosing the right tier.

n8n Cloud charges €9.60-€20 per 1,000 executions. With us, that cost is €0.00 — forever.
On n8n Cloud, exceeding your quota triggers overage charges of €4,000 per 300,000 extra executions. That's €13.33 per 1,000 executions!

With CloudCore VPS self-hosting, there are no overages, no surprises, no hidden fees. You pay one flat monthly rate for unlimited executions. Scale your automation without worrying about bills.
Very easy! We offer one-click n8n installation from our marketplace. Simply export your workflows from n8n Cloud (they provide a JSON export), and import them into your self-hosted instance. The entire process takes about 15 minutes.

We also offer free migration support — just contact us and we'll help you move over.
Not at all! We provide one-click installation from our marketplace — n8n is installed and configured automatically in under 5 minutes. If you can use n8n Cloud, you can use self-hosted n8n.

For advanced features like custom nodes, basic coding knowledge helps but isn't required. Plus, you can install VS Code Server for browser-based development.
n8n updates can be applied with a single command or automated. Our CloudCore VPS includes automatic security updates for the OS. You control when to update n8n itself — no forced updates that break your workflows.

We also offer managed services if you prefer completely hands-off maintenance.
Absolutely! With self-hosting, you can install VS Code Server or Code Server and use GitHub Copilot, Cursor AI, or any other AI coding assistant directly on your server.

This is impossible on n8n Cloud. Build custom nodes faster with AI-powered development, debug workflows at the code level, and version control everything with Git.
Yes! Self-hosting gives you full TypeScript development environment access. You can:

• Build proprietary nodes for internal APIs
• Create integrations not available in the marketplace
• Modify existing nodes to your needs
• Use npm packages without restrictions

On n8n Cloud, custom node development is limited and restricted.
With self-hosting, your data stays on YOUR server. It never leaves your control. This is crucial for:

• GDPR compliance — EU data stays in EU (Germany data center)
• HIPAA compliance — healthcare data under your control
• SOC 2 — you control the security policies
• Internal policies — no third-party access to sensitive data

On n8n Cloud, your data is stored on n8n's servers in Frankfurt, Germany — controlled by them, not you.
We have 9 global locations:

🇩🇪 Germany (EU) — GDPR compliant
🇺🇸 US Central, US East, US West
🇸🇬 Singapore
🇬🇧 United Kingdom
🇦🇺 Australia
🇯🇵 Japan
🇮🇳 India

All locations offer the same pricing. Deploy close to your users for faster webhook response times.
Yes! n8n supports unlimited users on all plans (even self-hosted). Your team can:

• Share workflows so others can edit, run, or review
• Share credentials securely
• Use role-based access control (RBAC)
• Work on shared projects together

Unlike n8n Cloud where shared projects are limited (1-6 depending on plan), self-hosting gives you unlimited shared projects.
All CloudCore VPS plans include:

• 24/7 infrastructure support for server issues
• Free migration assistance from n8n Cloud
• 99.9% uptime SLA guarantee
• Community forum access

For n8n-specific questions, you have access to the amazing n8n community with 45,000+ members. For dedicated n8n support with SLA, you'd still need n8n's Enterprise plan — but you'd be paying just for support, not for execution limits.
Absolutely! You can upgrade instantly to get more resources when you need them. Your data and configurations are preserved.

Downgrading is also possible at the end of your billing cycle. Unlike n8n Cloud's annual commitment with no pro-rata refunds, we offer flexible monthly billing with no lock-in.
Yes! Just like n8n Cloud, we offer 17% off with annual billing. That brings our prices down to:

• Starter: ~€9.95/mo (annual) vs €11.99/mo (monthly)
• Professional: ~€16.59/mo (annual) vs €19.99/mo (monthly)
• Business: ~€29.87/mo (annual) vs €35.99/mo (monthly)
• Enterprise: ~€49.79/mo (annual) vs €59.99/mo (monthly)

Combined with unlimited executions, the savings are massive.
We accept payments via Stripe:

• Credit/Debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex)
• Link (Stripe's fast checkout)
• Apple Pay
• Google Pay
• Local payment methods (varies by region via Stripe)

All prices are in EUR. No hidden fees, no surprise charges.
All CloudCore VPS plans include FREE manual snapshots — something n8n Cloud doesn't offer at any price. Create point-in-time backups anytime and restore instantly.

Optional automated backups with 10-day retention are available as an add-on. Pricing varies by VPS plan — see options during checkout.

Full server backups, not just workflow exports.
Absolutely! You have full root access to your server. Install anything you need:

• Databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, MongoDB
• Monitoring: Grafana, Prometheus, Uptime Kuma
• Development: VS Code Server, GitLab, Jenkins
• Other automation: Activepieces, Windmill, Temporal

It's YOUR server — use it however you want. This is impossible on n8n Cloud.
