Summary ⤵️ In this video, I show you how to self-host n8n so you can get unlimited executions, full control of your data, and lower costs as you scale — without relying on n8n Cloud. We walk through four different ways to run n8n, and I set everything up with you step by step so you can follow along without guessing. We cover: • n8n Cloud vs self-hosted vs local setups • Hosting n8n on Railway (fastest to get started) • Hosting n8n on DigitalOcean (most flexible) • Hosting n8n on Hostinger (easiest all-in-one option) • Running n8n locally with Docker (completely free) • Cost, setup difficulty, and trade-offs for each option I break everything down clearly so you understand why you’d choose one setup over another, not just how to click through the forms. You’ll see the full account setup, deployment process, and what actually matters when choosing a hosting provider. By the end of the video, you’ll know exactly which n8n self-hosting option fits your use case, and you’ll have everything you need to run n8n confidently — whether that’s on a VPS or locally on your own machine. ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 Self Hosting n8n 00:30 Cloud vs VPS vs Local Comparison 01:06 Why Self-Host n8n 02:11 Hosting Platforms Explained 02:55 Railway Setup 05:54 DigitalOcean Setup 08:46 Custom Domain 10:19 Hostinger Setup 12:17 VPS Final Thoughts 12:40 Free Local n8n (Docker) 15:21 Free Resources Thanks for watching!
