Open-source workflow automation tool deployed from an official Docker image, storing workflows, credentials and execution history that must survive redeploys.
Where you can deploy it.
Ordered by how the provider documents it — a dedicated guide first, a generic path second. There is no score: the ordering is the evidence.
| Provider | Category | Documented fit for n8n | Entry paid plan | Free tier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hostinger VPS | VPS & cloud | Dedicated guide | $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. | No |
| Railway | App platforms | Dedicated guide | $5 / month (Hobby) | Yes |
| Render | App platforms | Dedicated guide | Not documented | Yes |
