n8n on Hostinger VPS

Hostinger VPS publishes its own guide for deploying n8n.

Open-source workflow automation tool deployed from an official Docker image, storing workflows, credentials and execution history that must survive redeploys.

01.

What n8n needs.

Every host claims to run n8n, so the claim on its own decides nothing. These are the things n8n actually requires from the platform underneath it, and what Hostinger VPS publishes about each. Hostinger VPS documents 3 of the 4.

Persistent storage

Supported

Unless it is pointed at an external database, n8n keeps workflows, credentials and execution history on local disk. Without a volume, everything you built disappears on the next deploy.

Persistent processes

Supported

Webhook triggers have to be reachable between runs, and a workflow can execute for minutes. Both need a process that stays up rather than one that starts per invocation.

Docker deployment

Supported

Every provider guide for n8n starts from the official Docker image. A platform that cannot run a container cannot run n8n.

Max request duration

Not documented

A workflow calling several slow APIs in sequence is a single HTTP request as far as the platform is concerned, so the request ceiling is what cuts it off mid-run.

The requirement and the reason it matters are ours. Every value beside them was read from Hostinger VPS's own pages — expand a source to see the sentence it came from.

What Hostinger VPS documents.

Hostinger VPS publishes its own guide for deploying n8n.

Install n8n on a Hostinger VPS using a template. Set up n8n in a few clicks using Hostinger's template. Since this method doesn't require executing commands, it's the safest, easiest, and most efficient.

What it costs to run there.

Entry paid plan
$11.99/month on renewal for KVM 1, on a two-year term. The advertised $6.49 is an introductory rate for the first term only.
Regions
Data centers in North America, Europe, Asia and South America. Hostinger names the continents on the VPS page rather than listing the locations.

Whether it suits you.

Running Docker applications on a cheap KVM server with root access, where 4 GB of RAM at the entry plan matters more than a managed control plane. The one-click catalog covers the usual self-hosted stack.

Consider something else if…

The advertised price is introductory. Compare the two-year renewal rate, and note that Hostinger publishes continents rather than data centre locations, so you cannot pick a specific region before buying.
