Verified changes
Each entry is a change that is actually in the price dataset: a first recording, a price that moved, or a check that was flagged. A check that finds the same number updates that plan's checked date in the table below and does not add a price-changed line.
There is no price history on this site before 2026-10-16. Nothing on this page is a reconstructed earlier price.

Zeabur's October 2026 security incident report (preliminary report, published October 19, 2026) tells n8n users on its shared cluster: "n8n: Replace the n8n encryption key and recreate all third-party credentials in n8n." /zeabur-n8n-migration/ no longer tells those readers to keep the same key. It now quotes the report and gives the order the official n8n command-line and encryption-key pages support for moving to a new key. Shutdown dates Zeabur has not announced stay TBA. No price in the price dataset was re-checked or changed for this entry.

This week's manual batch, read from each host's own pricing page on 2026-10-19. Hetzner now has a verified plan: Cloud CPX02, the smallest Regular Performance plan, at €6.49/mo excl. VAT with hourly billing capped at that monthly price. It had no verified price before, so this is a first recording, not a change. netcup's VPS Lite page says the vServer Lite tariffs have no price increases after the first year, so the VPS Lite 1 renewal is recorded at the same €5.86/mo incl. 19% VAT. Contabo and OVHcloud renewal prices are still not published on their pages and stay unverified.
€6.49/mo excl. VAT · First verified price. Previously listed as Cloud (smallest) with no verified price.
€5.86/mo incl. 19% VAT · First-term price unchanged. Renewal recorded for the first time; it was not verified before.

/hosts/railway/ now answers whether n8n stays running on Railway (#always-on): Railway sleeps a service only when Serverless is turned on, and a slept service wakes only on incoming traffic. The section quotes Railway's and n8n's docs and lists what we could not confirm, including how n8n schedules behave on a slept service (not tested). Railway's official per-unit rates (RAM $10/GB/month, CPU $20/vCPU/month, egress $0.05/GB, volume $0.15/GB/month) and per-service maxima (48 GB RAM, 48 vCPU, 5 GB volume) were added to the Railway row of the price dataset from docs.railway.com/pricing/plans, checked 2026-10-19. These are rates, not a plan allocation, so the RAM and vCPU count of the Hobby plan stay blank. The Hobby price is unchanged at $5/mo.

The quoted pricing-page text for Hostinger KVM 2 still showed $8.99/mo after the price changed to $8.79/mo on Oct 19, 2026. It now matches Hostinger's page read 2026-10-19: "Special offer • 64% off KVM 2 $24.49 $8.79 /mo ... Renews at $14.99/mo for 2 years." Hostinger labels it a special offer and gives no end date, so $8.79 may be a promotional price. The Hostinger KVM rows now cite https://www.hostinger.com/self-hosted-n8n, where the old /vps/n8n-hosting URL redirects. n8n Cloud Starter, n8n Cloud Pro and Elestio no longer carry the one-click n8n flag: n8n's pricing page says "Hosted by n8n" and Elestio's n8n page says "Deploy N8N as a fully managed service", so the host runs n8n and there is nothing to install, as already recorded for Hostinger Managed n8n. Sliplane Starter keeps the flag: its n8n page says "Deploy the n8n preset with just 1 click". Links to Hetzner are no longer marked sponsored, because its affiliate program ended June 15, 2026 and /go/hetzner carries no code. /hosts/hetzner/ no longer shows an affiliate disclosure. No price changed in this entry.

The netcup VPS Lite 1 renewal of €5.86/mo recorded in this week's batch was inferred from a general line on the VPS Lite page ("no hidden costs or price increases after the first year"). netcup's VPS Lite page and the VPS Lite 1 G12.5s product page, read 2026-10-19, do not state a renewal price, so the renewal is back to not verified. The first-term price of €5.86/mo incl. 19% VAT is unchanged. Hetzner Cloud CPX02 at €6.49/mo excl. VAT was re-checked on Hetzner's Regular Performance page, which loads the price from Hetzner's own price feed: CPX02 server €5.99 plus primary IPv4 €0.50. The price is unchanged; the price-feed URLs are now in the Hetzner row's note.
