Managed n8n Hosting
Run the full open-source n8n platform without ever touching a server. Managed n8n hosting on Flux gives you a dedicated, self-hosted instance that someone else provisions, secures and keeps online — so you get the freedom of self-hosting with none of the operations work.
What “managed” actually means here
Self-hosting n8n is powerful because your workflows, credentials and data live on your own instance, with no metered executions and no vendor holding the keys. The catch has always been the plumbing: a server to rent, a database to run, TLS and webhooks to configure, backups to schedule, and upgrades to babysit. Managed hosting removes that catch. You keep the dedicated, fully self-hosted instance; the deployment, database, networking and uptime become someone else’s job.
On Flux that job is handled across a decentralized network of independent nodes rather than a single provider’s data center, which is what keeps the setup free of vendor lock-in while still being completely hands-off for you.
What you get in every plan
Managed vs. self-hosting it yourself
Both give you a real, unrestricted n8n instance. The difference is who does the work — and who gets the pager.
Do-it-yourself
- •Rent and secure a VPS, then keep its OS patched
- •Write and maintain a Docker Compose stack with PostgreSQL
- •Configure TLS, a reverse proxy, webhooks and an encryption key
- •Set up backups, monitoring and version upgrades yourself
- •Own every outage at 3am
Managed on Flux
- Pick a plan and click deploy — live in about 30 seconds
- PostgreSQL, failover and the HTTPS endpoint come pre-wired
- Webhooks and triggers work on a real domain out of the box
- Backups and the node network are handled for you
- Your workflows, credentials and data stay entirely yours
What managed n8n hosting costs
Pricing is a flat rate for your instance’s resources, not a per-execution or per-task meter, so a busy automation costs the same whether it fires a hundred or a hundred thousand times. Plans start at $5.32/month with the first month free, billed monthly with no long-term contract. The tiers scale the memory of the n8n instance and its high-availability PostgreSQL database:
- Starter — 1GB n8n with a 1GB HA PostgreSQL cluster, for lighter or personal automations.
- Standard — 2GB n8n with a 1GB HA PostgreSQL cluster, for busier teams and more concurrent runs.
- Pro — 4GB n8n with a 2GB HA PostgreSQL cluster, for heavy AI-agent and high-volume pipelines.
Exact CPU, RAM, storage and prices are pulled live from the Flux Marketplace and shown on the pricing section of the homepage.
Deploy in about 30 seconds
There is no server to build. Choose a plan, deploy, and a dedicated n8n instance with its HA PostgreSQL database comes up on the Flux network in roughly half a minute, reachable on a secure HTTPS URL with webhooks already working. Bringing existing automations over is just as quick: n8n workflows are portable JSON, so you export them from any instance and import them into your new one, re-entering credentials for security.
Own your data, no lock-in, no caps
Managed does not mean surrendering control. Your credentials, workflows and execution data stay on your own dedicated instance, never a shared multi-tenant pool. There are no artificial execution or active-workflow limits — you are bounded only by the resources of your plan. And because everything runs on independent decentralized nodes as portable JSON, you can move off whenever you like. Nothing is held hostage.

Frequently asked questions
What is managed n8n hosting?
Managed n8n hosting gives you a dedicated, self-hosted n8n instance that a provider deploys, secures and keeps running for you. You get full control of your workflows and data without renting a server, writing Docker Compose, or maintaining a database. On Flux it is deployed and managed across a decentralized network of nodes.
How much does managed n8n hosting cost?
On Flux, managed n8n hosting starts at $5.32/month with the first month free, billed monthly with no long-term contract. Pricing is a flat rate for your instance resources rather than a per-execution charge, so high-volume automations don’t inflate the bill. Starter, Standard and Pro tiers scale the n8n and PostgreSQL memory.
Do I still own my data with managed hosting?
Yes. Your credentials, workflows and execution data live on your own dedicated instance, not in a shared multi-tenant pool. Because n8n workflows are portable JSON and your instance runs on independent decentralized nodes, you can export and move everything at any time with no vendor lock-in.
Are there execution limits on managed n8n hosting?
No. Unlike metered SaaS tiers, a managed self-hosted instance on Flux has no artificial execution or active-workflow caps. You get unlimited workflow runs and unlimited active workflows, bounded only by the CPU, RAM and storage of your chosen plan.
How fast can I deploy a managed n8n instance?
About 30 seconds. Pick a plan and deploy, and a dedicated n8n instance with a high-availability PostgreSQL database comes online on the Flux network on a secure HTTPS URL with webhooks already working. Existing workflows import as JSON in minutes.
