Elasticsearch VPS hosting.

You pay a flat monthly price for the VPS package you pick, not per query, per GB indexed or per compute unit. The pricing section shows live prices for all packages. Deploying Elasticsearch from the One-Click Apps catalog costs nothing extra, so the VPS is your only cost. Need more headroom later? Move to a larger package with more RAM, CPU and storage.

• Flat monthly price per VPS package
• No usage-based billing for queries or storage

As a rule of thumb, give the JVM heap about 50% of the VPS RAM. Leave the rest to the operating system's file cache, which Elasticsearch relies on for fast searches. Small test setups run fine with a few GB of RAM. Production indices with steady queries, or Kibana on the same VPS, need noticeably more. Watch heap usage and move to a larger package if it stays high.

• Dev and test: 2–4 GB RAM, 1–2 GB heap
• Small production: 8 GB RAM or more, about 4 GB heap
• Running Kibana on the same VPS needs extra RAM

There is nothing to install by hand. Open the One-Click Apps tab in your dashboard, choose Elasticsearch or Elasticsearch with Kibana and start the deploy. Coolify pulls the Docker image, creates persistent storage and starts the service. Afterwards, the generated password and connection details are in Coolify. Learn more in the Help Center

Yes, self-hosting the Elasticsearch software costs nothing. Elastic publishes it under several licenses, including AGPLv3 since 2024, and the free Basic tier covers core search, Kibana and security features. At ZAP-Hosting you only pay for the VPS. Paid Elastic subscription features are a separate agreement with Elastic. Check the license terms if you plan to offer Elasticsearch itself as a hosted service to others.

• You only pay for the VPS
• Free Basic tier includes Kibana and security

Yes. When your index, query load or Kibana usage grows, switch to a larger VPS package with more RAM, CPU cores and storage. After the upgrade, raise the JVM heap to match the new RAM so Elasticsearch actually uses the extra memory.

• Scale RAM, CPU and storage
• Adjust the JVM heap after upgrading

Yes. You can cancel your Elasticsearch VPS anytime in the dashboard, and the cancellation takes effect at the end of your current term. If you want to keep your data, take a snapshot of your indices before the term ends. How cancellation works

• Cancel anytime in the dashboard
• Takes effect at the end of the term

ZAP-Hosting offers VPS locations in Europe and America. Pick the one closest to your application servers or users, because latency adds up on every search request. Many North American projects start with Ashburn, Dallas or Los Angeles, and you can choose any other available location the same way.

• Locations in Europe and America
• Choose the location closest to your app

Keep Elasticsearch security enabled with a strong password or API keys, and never expose the HTTP API (default port 9200) to the whole internet. Use the firewall to allow only your app servers' IPs. For Backups, register a snapshot repository and take snapshots with the snapshot API. Manual VPS Backups and restores in the dashboard come with the ZapX Pass. Set up your firewall

• Restrict the API to known IPs
• Use the snapshot API for index Backups
