About

About and methodology

HostFit publishes sourced comparisons of what a self-hosted app needs, and what public VPS or vendor-cloud prices look like on a given date.

How we research

  1. Open the official documentation for the app (install guides, sizing notes, “choose how to use” pages).
  2. Open official public pricing pages for the vendors we mention.
  3. Write only numbers and limits that appear on those pages, with the URL next to the figure and the date we opened the page (America/Buenos_Aires).
  4. If a third-party blog or forum quotes a number we cannot find on an official page, we say so. We do not repeat it as fact.
  5. If a page has a dropdown, toggle, or prepaid term, we say what was selected or visible, and we distinguish promo prices from renewal prices.

What we do not do

  • We do not invent hands-on speed, uptime, or “it felt snappy” tests we did not run.
  • We do not convert currencies unless a vendor publishes the conversion. EUR stays EUR; USD stays USD.
  • We do not hide a cheaper official option because it has no affiliate program.
  • We do not rank products by commission.
  • We do not give tax, legal, or financial advice. VAT, local stock, and your own workload can change the math.

How we handle affiliate links

Some “get this plan” links are reserved for affiliate programs (DigitalOcean via CJ, Hostinger, and others described in the plan). Until those accounts are connected, the links on this site are ordinary links to the vendor’s official page, with no tracking parameters. When a link becomes an affiliate link, it will be marked and the affiliate disclosure will still apply.

Updates

Every guide shows an Updated date. Vendor prices and docs move. We intend to revisit the n8n VPS guide around February 2027, or sooner if a vendor changes a plan we cited.

Who publishes this

HostFit is a small editorial site about self-hosting specific apps. It is not affiliated with n8n, DigitalOcean, Hetzner, Hostinger, or Cloudflare. “HostFit” is an independent name; hostfit.com is already registered by someone else, which is why this preview lives on a pages.dev subdomain.
