As earlier I host n8n instance in AWS EC2 server and got the access to n8n which is perfect but when creating a webhook node in the workflow i got the localhost url which was not connecting with Meta for webhook and was also not connecting with my own custom backend or application server so does n8n on hostinger vps provide https webhook production and test url instead of http or localhost which causes error. So please Tell me if n8n with hostinger is perfect choice or not thanks
Hi @M_Faizan_Developer Welcome to the community!
Your idea of self hosting is really nice and is pretty economical, but it depends on your usecase if you are planning to scale up and want 100% control over your environment and you are planning to use n8n with a team of people, then you can consider using self hosted with hostinger or any other service, but if you are planning to use n8n with maybe 2-3 people and learn or basic automation tasks and want a very seamless integration and without any headache of upgrading to latest stable versions and want the best support, i recommend going with n8n cloud Pro plan i personally use Cloud Pro Plan and it is really awesome for all the tasks and it is much easier to setup and i do not really need to think for any updates or features n8n cloud does it for me, again it depends on your use case and number of people i use my cloud instance alone and i do my automation work so it is very idle choice for me.

Hello @M_Faizan_Developer ,
Actually, switching to Hostinger won’t automatically fix this. The issue is a missing environment variable, not the provider.
n8n shows localhost because it doesn’t know your public domain yet.
Set this environment variable in your Docker configuration (on AWS or Hostinger): WEBHOOK_URL=https://your-domain.com/
For Meta, you also need a real domain and SSL (HTTPS). Use a reverse proxy like Caddy or Traefik to handle that certificate generation automatically.
Stick with AWS if it’s running; just update the config.

As I am creating a workflow for my client who is running multiple business so I want the automation should replies to the whatsapp, insta dms and facebook comments automatically and for the knowledge based I have created a custom web app which stores that data so I want that the n8n workflow should fetch the data from my web app or by a webhook and then answers with that context. Also can you please tell me that as on pricing and other things what is most better n8n self hosted on hostinger or officially going to n8n cloud plan

@M_Faizan_Developer According to your use case, which is not as intensive but is going to be quite ruggedly used, going with Cloud Pro plan is really a better take here, as you are going to create that workflow for your client it is worth taking the cloud instance! Let me know if you need some help with that client flow. Cheers!
