MindsDB VPS Hosting

Order your VPS and it's online in 60 seconds. Then open the Apps tab in the ZapX panel, pick MindsDB and Coolify deploys it in one click; the app deploy takes a little extra time after that. You don't need to write a Docker Compose file. You also get full root access via SSH for logs, configs or extra tools. Learn more in the Help Center

• One-click deploy from the Apps tab via Coolify
• Full root and SSH access included

VPS Apps need at least 2 GB RAM, 2 CPU cores and 30 GB storage, the platform minimum for Coolify and apps. Your needs grow with the number of users, the data volume you query, large Knowledge Bases and local AI models. You can upgrade your package later without starting over.

• Minimum: 2 GB RAM, 2 CPU cores, 30 GB storage
• More RAM for large Knowledge Bases and local models

The MindsDB engine is open source, so the software itself costs nothing. You pay for the VPS it runs on: the price depends on the package and the term, a longer term lowers the monthly price, and at some locations a regional surcharge applies. If you use an external AI provider for models or agents, your AI provider bills API usage directly to you, separately from the server.

• Terms of 3, 30, 90, 180 or 365 days
• Local models such as Ollama cause no API costs

MindsHub and Minds Cloud are the vendor's hosted offerings: the vendor runs the infrastructure and handles operations. Self-hosted MindsDB runs the open-source engine on your VPS, so connection details, queries and Knowledge Base data stay on your server. You pay a fixed server price that doesn't depend on query volume, and you take care of updates yourself via the ZapX panel or Coolify.

• Your data stays on your own VPS
• Fixed server price instead of usage-based billing

Yes. You add a source with CREATE DATABASE and query it with SQL right away. According to the vendor, MindsDB connects to 200+ sources, including PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB and ClickHouse. The connection details stay on your VPS. For production databases, a dedicated read-only user is a good idea.

• Join tables across different databases
• Use read-only users for production data

In the ZapX panel, check the installed app for updates and apply an update with one click. Alternatively, you can redeploy the instance yourself in Coolify. Before a major version jump, read the official MindsDB upgrade notes. With the ZapX Pass you create your own Backup before updating and restore it yourself if needed.

• One-click update check in the ZapX panel
• Manual redeploy via Coolify as an alternative

Yes, with an optional subdomain managed by ZapX: a platform domain or your own domain in your ZAP account whose DNS ZapX can edit. ZapX creates the DNS records during installation, and Coolify issues the HTTPS certificate via Let's Encrypt automatically. Without a managed subdomain, MindsDB is only reachable via a default URL (http://<service>.<ip>.sslip.io) over HTTP without a certificate.

• No manual A or CNAME records for managed domains
• Manual DNS only for domains ZapX can't manage

Locations in Europe and America: FFM/Eygelshoven, Ashburn, Dallas and Los Angeles. Pick the location closest to your users and data sources; many North American teams start with Ashburn, Dallas or Los Angeles. Every location includes PletX DDoS protection, and your MindsDB data stays on the VPS at the location you choose.

• Locations in Europe and America
• PletX DDoS protection at every location

Yes. A daily automatic Backup of your VPS is included. With the ZapX Pass you create your own Backups and snapshots and restore earlier states yourself. VPS Backups in the Help Center

• Daily auto-backup included
• Own Backups & restore with ZapX Pass

Yes, cancel anytime. You choose a term of 3, 30, 90, 180 or 365 days, and a cancellation takes effect at the end of the current term. Your VPS keeps running until then, so you have time to export your MindsDB data. How cancellation works

• Cancellation takes effect at the end of the term
