Hey there! 👋 Are you interested in automating your workflows with n8n but don’t want to break the bank? Well, you’re in luck! I’m excited to share three ways to run n8n completely free or at a very low cost.
In this post, I’ll walk you through three different methods to get started with n8n without spending a fortune. Whether you’re new to n8n or already using it, this is a great resource to help you save money and focus on what matters – automating your workflows.
## Local Hosting: Run n8n on Your Machine
The first method is local hosting. This involves running n8n right on your machine, which means you don’t need to pay for any hosting or server costs. This is perfect for testing and building workflows fast. You can experiment with different automation scenarios without worrying about the cost.
## Ngrok Setup: Expose Your Local n8n Instance Securely
The second method is setting up Ngrok. This allows you to expose your local n8n instance to the internet securely. This is ideal if you want your automations to connect with external services without needing a full server. You can have your automations running 24/7 without breaking the bank.
## Hostinger Walkthrough: Deploy n8n to the Cloud
The third method is deploying n8n to the cloud using Hostinger. This is a budget-friendly and flexible option that allows you to keep your automations running 24/7. I’ll show you the setup process step-by-step so you can get started right away.
If you’re new to n8n, this is a great starting point. And if you’re already using it, I’d love to hear how you’re hosting your own instance. What’s your preferred setup?
