A VPS gives you your own slice of a server with root access, so you can run things shared hosting won't let you: n8n, AI agents, Docker apps, databases and bots. These are the Black Friday VPS deals I verified on each host's own site on 7 November 2026.
My pick: InMotion Hosting VPS
I hosted my sites on InMotion before I moved to Cloudways, and its support is the part I'd vouch for. On a self-managed VPS, that matters more than the last dollar, because you're the one running the server.
Its 4 vCPU plan gives you twice the vCPU of Hostinger's KVM 2 for the same 8GB of RAM, at $9.99 a month on a 24-month term. InMotion owns and runs its own data centers and has been founder-led since 2001.
InMotion's Black Friday sale opens on 9 November at 12:00 EST, and its deals page says up to 63% off VPS hosting. I'll update this box with the Black Friday prices when they go live. The InMotion Black Friday page has the full sale.
Lowest price: Hostinger VPS plans
All four plans are on a 24-month term, paid up front. Each one includes root access and one-click templates for n8n and Docker.

Prices as listed on each host's own site on Nov 7, 2026. Promo prices depend on the billing term, so check the term and the renewal price at checkout.
The 3-year cost is what you'll pay over 36 months: the promo price for as long as it lasts, then the renewal price. For the same 8GB of RAM, Hostinger KVM 2 is $390.84 over three years and InMotion's VPS is $443.64. InMotion gives you 4 vCPU instead of 2, plus its support, for that extra $52.80.
Managed or self-managed: what you're paying for
| Self-managed VPS (Hostinger, InMotion) | Managed cloud (Cloudways) | |
|---|---|---|
| Who runs the server | You: updates, security, backups | Cloudways |
| Root access | Yes | No: SSH and SFTP, not root |
| Good for | n8n, Docker, AI agents, custom apps | WordPress and PHP sites |
| Price after the promo | Lowest | Highest |
If you want to run n8n, AI agents or Docker containers, take a self-managed VPS. If you want fast WordPress sites and don't want to touch the server, Cloudways is the managed option, and it's what I host my own sites on.
Running n8n on a Black Friday VPS
n8n is self-hostable workflow automation, and a VPS is the cheapest way to run it without per-workflow limits. On Hostinger:
- Buy a VPS plan. KVM 2 is the safe size for n8n with AI steps.
- In hPanel, pick the one-click n8n template for the VPS. It installs n8n for you.
- Point a subdomain (for example
n8n.yoursite.com) at the VPS IP address so you reach n8n on your own domain. - Turn on automatic backups or snapshots before you build workflows you depend on.
How I checked these deals
I opened each host's VPS pricing page on 7 November 2026 and copied the specs, the promo price, the term and the renewal price as shown. I only list a host if I could see its price on its own site: Hosting.com advertises Black Friday VPS deals, but its page didn't show the prices, so it isn't in the table yet. Deals hide automatically when their end date passes.
Frequently asked questions
What is the cheapest Black Friday VPS deal in 2026?
Hostinger KVM 1 at $6.49 a month (67% off) on a 24-month term, which is $155.76 up front. It has 1 vCPU, 4GB RAM, 50GB NVMe storage and 4TB bandwidth, and renews at $11.99 a month. The sale runs until 14 December 2026.
Which VPS should I buy to self-host n8n?
Any VPS with 8GB of RAM gives n8n room for a database and AI steps. InMotion's 4 vCPU, 8GB VPS is $9.99 a month, with support to help when something breaks. Hostinger KVM 2 (2 vCPU, 8GB) is $8.79 a month and has a one-click n8n template.
Is a Black Friday VPS managed or unmanaged?
Hostinger and InMotion VPS plans are self-managed: you get root access and handle the software, updates and security. Cloudways is managed: it sets up and maintains the server for you, which is why it costs more after the promo.
Do Black Friday VPS prices renew at the same price?
No. Hostinger KVM 2 is $8.79 a month for 24 months, then $14.99. InMotion's 4 vCPU VPS is $9.99 for 24 months, then $16.99. Cloudways' 80% off lasts two months only.
Does InMotion Hosting have a Black Friday VPS deal?
Its Black Friday sale opens on 9 November 2026 at 12:00 EST. Before that, its VPS page showed the 4 vCPU, 8GB plan at $9.99 a month on a 24-month term. I'll update this page with the Black Friday prices when they go live.
