Single-tenant n8n hosting — your instance is yours alone

No shared multi-tenant n8n instance, ever. Every customer on managed n8n hosting gets a fully isolated container, database and encryption key — a dedicated n8n instance per customer — so one compromised instance can never reach another.

How we run it — infrastructure patching, restores and migration, step by step

Three processes matter more than any feature list: how fast we harden and patch the infrastructure underneath n8n while flagging n8n's own advisories the moment they matter, how an n8n restore actually happens, and how migrating n8n cloud to self-hosted — or switching n8n hosting providers outright — works in practice, aiming for as close to a zero-downtime n8n migration as cutover allows.

Our advisory & infrastructure patch process

  • M
    Monitor n8n security advisories and the CISA KEV catalog continuously
  • M
    Assess severity and exposure across the fleet
  • M
    Notify affected customers directly, per the data-processing agreement, the moment a fix matters
  • M
    Harden and patch the infrastructure layer — server, OS, Docker — on a managed schedule, canary-tested first
  • M
    Applying the n8n update itself is on you — we point you to exactly what to do

What an n8n restore looks like

  • R
    Pull the latest off-site backup
  • R
    Verify the N8N_ENCRYPTION_KEY
  • R
    Restore the PostgreSQL database and credentials
  • R
    Validate that workflows run
  • R
    Confirm with you, and keep monitoring

Moving your existing n8n over

  • R
    Export your n8n workflows as JSON
  • R
    We stand up your dedicated n8n instance
  • R
    Re-enter credentials with you
  • R
    Verify, then cut over DNS
  • R
    We monitor for 48 hours after cutover

What's actually in your n8n backup — n8n backup best practices

An n8n backup that's never been restored isn't a backup — it's disaster-recovery theatre. Here's exactly what a real n8n disaster recovery plan captures, and the policy behind it: daily automated n8n backup on every plan, 30-day encrypted off-site retention on Business and above, and a real restore test run every month.

The PostgreSQL database

Your n8n database backup — every workflow and its execution history — captured daily.

The credentials store

Every credential your workflows use, backed up alongside the database.

Your N8N_ENCRYPTION_KEY

Stored separately and securely from the database backup — so an n8n encryption key lost to a bad backup process can't leave your credentials undecryptable, and "n8n credentials could not be decrypted" never happens on a restore.

Config and environment

Instance configuration and environment variables, versioned alongside your data.

Custom nodes and binary data

Any custom nodes and binary data your workflows depend on, included in every off-site n8n backup.

Recommended plan, and the full managed n8n hosting price spec

Most infrastructure buyers want the middle plan and want to see exactly what's in every tier before they compare n8n hosting providers. Whether you're weighing n8n cloud vs self-hosted, or looking for a genuine self-hosted n8n alternative you don't have to run yourself, the n8n hosting price spec below is the whole picture — both are here, no sales call required.

Annual billing on Business gets two months free and waives the one-time setup fee. Every plan carries a 30-day money-back guarantee, self-serve cancellation with full data export, and free managed migration for standard cases. Add-ons: an extra instance is +$29/month, 90-day backup retention is +$15/month. If you've been comparing n8n hosting cost and n8n hosting price across providers, this is the full, honest n8n monthly hosting cost — nothing held back for a sales call.

What we take off your plate

Everything below is included in every managed n8n hosting plan. Your workflow logic, your own third-party API keys and subscriptions, and applying n8n's own version updates and security patches stay yours — we'll tell you the moment one matters.

Server, OS and Docker

Provisioned, hardened and kept current, so you're never patching the box yourself.

n8n install and advisory monitoring

A prebuilt, dedicated n8n install, plus continuous monitoring of n8n's security advisories and the CISA KEV catalog — we flag anything urgent immediately.

n8n SSL setup and custom domain SSL

Issued and renewed automatically, so no expired certificate ever silently breaks your n8n webhook security.

Daily automated n8n backup

Encrypted, off-site n8n backup on Business and above — a tested backup restore n8n process, every month.

n8n uptime monitoring

Uptime, resource and n8n failed workflow alerts, plus a public status page.

Managed PostgreSQL — n8n database backup

A dedicated PostgreSQL instance per customer, backed up alongside your workflows.

Isolation and n8n hardening

n8n container isolation with resource limits, Cloudflare, and network egress rules on every instance.

Infrastructure uptime

Per-plan uptime targets, with a real support path behind them — not just a promise.

Security, in depth

In late 2025 and early 2026, n8n disclosed multiple critical n8n security vulnerabilities — including CVE-2026-21858, CVE-2026-21877 and CVE-2026-25049, several rated CVSS 10.0 and 9.9 in the unauthenticated n8n RCE class (one tracker nicknamed the cluster "Ni8mare"), plus several rated 9.4. One was added to CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog after active exploitation. A February 2026 exposed-instances scan found more than 24,700 unpatched n8n instances online. Most self-hosters never even watch for the advisory, let alone act on it.

Continuous n8n security advisory monitoring

We watch n8n security advisories and the CISA KEV catalog continuously — not on a monthly cron job.

Infrastructure hardening: canary tested first

Every infrastructure patch — server, OS, Docker — is tested on a canary instance before it ever touches production.

Cloudflare, WAF and DDoS protection

Every instance sits behind Cloudflare by default — proxy, WAF and DDoS mitigation included, how to secure n8n without you lifting a finger.

n8n container isolation and egress limits

CPU and memory caps plus network egress limits constrain exactly what a compromised instance could reach.

N8N_ENCRYPTION_KEY handling

Backed up separately and securely from the database, so a restore actually decrypts your credentials.

Who is responsible for n8n security patching

We own the infrastructure layer's security — server, OS, Docker, isolation, backups and advisory monitoring. You own n8n's own version updates and security patches, your workflow logic and your own API keys — written into the terms so it doesn't drift.

The failures we exist to prevent

These are specific, common and avoidable n8n hosting failures — not a scare story. It's the reason managed n8n hosting is worth paying for.

An unpatched n8n RCE vulnerability

The fix ships. Weeks pass. The instance never gets it.

A critical n8n remote code execution flaw is disclosed. On an unmanaged, self-hosted n8n instance, it can sit unpatched indefinitely.

A backup that never restored

It "ran" for a year. The first real restore attempt fails.

A missing N8N_ENCRYPTION_KEY turns a year of backups into nothing recoverable — an n8n data loss recovery that never actually works.

SSL expired on a webhook

A certificate lapses quietly.

Every inbound webhook starts failing silently, with nothing telling you why until a customer complains.

2 a.m. crash, 9 a.m. discovery

The box runs out of memory overnight.

Nobody is watching. Seven hours of n8n workflow runs are lost before anyone notices.

What the n8n backup policy actually is

Daily n8n backup on every plan, tested monthly.

Business and above keep 30-day off-site, encrypted retention. n8n RPO RTO: RPO up to roughly 24 hours; RTO targets under 4 hours, under 2 hours on Agency plans.

Frequently asked questions

Managed n8n hosting questions tend to be specific. Here are the ones we hear most.

How fast can n8n vulnerabilities be patched, and who is responsible for n8n security patching?

Infrastructure-layer fixes — server, OS, Docker — target a 24–72h window from the point a fix is available, tiered by plan, canary-tested first. That window is a stated target, not a historical guarantee. n8n's own version updates and security patches are applied by you: we monitor n8n's advisories and the CISA KEV catalog continuously and notify you the moment one matters, so it's never a surprise.

Is my n8n instance isolated from other customers?

Yes. Each customer gets their own container, their own PostgreSQL database, their own encryption key and their own resource limits. There is no shared multi-tenant n8n instance. A compromise of one instance cannot reach another.

How do I know my n8n backup actually works?

The database, the credentials store, the encryption key (stored separately), config and binary data. We run a real restore test every month — pulling the off-site backup, verifying the key, restoring, and validating that workflows run.

What's the RPO/RTO if my n8n instance fails?

With daily backups, RPO is up to roughly 24 hours of changes. RTO — time to get you running again — targets under 4 hours, and under 2 hours on Agency plans.

Do I get SSH access to my n8n server, or config access?

Config access is available. The exact level is being finalised, and this answer will state it precisely before launch.

What does a managed n8n hosting plan actually include, and what don't you cover?

Everything you'd expect is included by default: the server, OS, Docker, the n8n install, SSL, backups, monitoring and isolation. What's not included is your workflow logic, your own third-party API keys and subscriptions, and applying n8n's own version updates and security patches — we monitor and flag the advisories, but running the update is yours to do. Building or debugging workflows is available as separate paid work; it isn't part of hosting.

Can I leave my n8n hosting provider later?

Yes. You can export everything at any time. Being honest: leaving means re-migrating and re-entering credentials on the new host, because credentials don't export for security reasons. That's true of self-hosted n8n generally, not a lock-in we invented.
