Start on Orbit
Our n8n guide recommends Orbit (2 vCPU, 4 GB) for Docker, Postgres and n8n together. It points to Comet for heavy workflows, large files or queue mode.

Overview
Give your automations a place to run.
A Linux VPS, Docker and the official n8n Compose guide. You run the application, its credentials and its updates. We provide the server, the network and the included tools.
Webhooks need an address
A public webhook needs a stable HTTPS URL. Point a domain you control at the server, then set the webhook URL as the n8n guide describes.
State lives in two places
Persist the n8n data directory and protect its encryption key. Back up PostgreSQL too if you use it. Test that credentials restore.
Size from executions
Memory follows payloads, binary files and overlapping runs. On a 2 GB Flare, n8n with Postgres idled at about 389 MiB, before any workflow ran.
Workflow
From an idea to a working workflow.
Bring your integrations. Build and test on a server you manage.
Deploy with Compose
Install Docker on a supported Linux release. Follow the official n8n Compose guide for persistence, DNS and HTTPS. First start of n8n with Postgres took about 21 seconds in our 2 GB test.
Test a real run
Use representative payloads and concurrency. Check webhook delivery, failure handling and a restore before you rely on it.
Deployment checklist
The server is one part of the setup. Give webhooks a stable HTTPS address and plan recovery from day one.
Public entrypoint
Point a domain at the server. Configure HTTPS and the public webhook URL with the official deployment guide.
Persistent application
Keep n8n configuration and data on persistent storage. With PostgreSQL, back up the database and the encryption key.
Day-to-day operation
Pin a tested version. Back up before updating. Watch failed executions, memory and disk. External API costs and software licences are separate.

Orbit is a starting point for a small evaluation. Comet offers 8 GB rather than 4 GB of RAM. Choose from measured payloads and concurrency, not a fixed workflow count.

Answers
A few things to know.
Is this managed n8n or one click?+
No. It is a self-managed VPS. You install, secure and update n8n. We do not offer managed application support or one-click provisioning.
How much memory does n8n need?+
It depends on payloads, binary data and overlapping runs. Our guide recommends Orbit with 4 GB, and Comet with 8 GB for heavy workflows or queue mode. Measure, then resize.
Do I need a domain?+
Yes, for public webhooks over HTTPS. Set DNS, TLS and the public webhook URL before connecting services that call into n8n.
Are n8n licences and API charges included?+
No. The price is for VPS hosting. Check n8n’s licence terms for your use. External services and API usage can carry their own charges.
Are server backups enough?+
They help, but also back up application state and the encryption key, with a consistent database backup if you use PostgreSQL. Test a restore before you need one.
