IronSize the workload

Ironserver buying guide
VPS checklist for self-hosting and n8n.
Self-hosted apps run best when the server is sized from real workload needs: memory headroom, storage, backups, ports, and user location.
Plan operations
Confirm persistent storage, backups, TLS, inbound ports, secrets handling, updates, abuse controls, and monitoring.
Pick the location
Choose a region based on user geography and measured latency, not only the nearest city name.
Prices, stock, setup times, and locations must match the current catalog at order time. Do not send funds until invoice amount, asset, network, and expiry details are checked.
