Dify hosting

A visual studio for building LLM apps, agents and RAG pipelines.

Agents & RAGApache-2.0 with additional conditionsfrom $18.99/mo
In short

Dify hosting at AIHostBox means a dedicated, single-tenant Dify instance on our infrastructure: we install it, pin it to a reviewed release, put it behind TLS on your domain, back it up nightly and keep it patched. Plans start at $18.99 per month and the admin account, the data and any API keys are yours.

Dify is the closest open-source equivalent to a full LLM application platform: a visual workflow builder, a prompt IDE, a RAG pipeline with document ingestion and retrieval settings, agent tools, datasets, and an API for every app you publish. Teams use it to go from an idea to a working internal assistant without writing a service around it.

The stack is substantial — API, worker, web, Postgres, Redis and a vector store — so plans start at 8 GB. Every instance is single-tenant, which is also what the upstream licence requires: Dify’s additional conditions forbid offering it as a multi-tenant service and require the Dify branding to stay in place. We comply with both.

How it works

Three steps, no Docker knowledge required

Pick the app and the size

Choose memory and storage from the plan table. Every plan is a single-tenant instance with its own volume, its own configuration and its own admin account.

We deploy and harden it

TLS on your domain or ours, firewall, a version pinned to a reviewed release, nightly off-box backups and isolated secrets.

You log in and build

The admin account is yours. Add your API keys, invite your team, export your data whenever you want. Patching stays with us.

Questions

Dify hosting: your questions

Is a self-hosted Dify allowed commercially?
Yes, with conditions. The upstream licence permits commercial use but forbids running a multi-tenant service on it and requires the Dify logo and branding to remain. Your instance is single-tenant and we leave the branding untouched, which keeps both conditions satisfied.
Which vector store does it use here?
The default embedded store is included in every plan. If you already run a Qdrant or Weaviate instance with us we can point Dify at it over the private network.
Is this a shared account or my own instance?
Your own. Every plan is a single-tenant instance with its own storage, its own configuration and its own admin account. Nobody else’s workload runs inside it, and nothing you store is pooled with other customers.
Do I have to know Docker?
No. We install the application, put it behind TLS on your domain or a subdomain of ours, and hand you the login. If you do want shell-level access to your data we provide SFTP; you are never required to use it.
What is included in the monthly price?
The instance, the storage, the bandwidth, nightly off-box backups, monitoring, security patching and human support. Model tokens are not included — you bring your own provider key, so there is no markup on usage.
Can I move to a bigger plan later?
Yes, resizing is an in-place upgrade and your data stays where it is. If you outgrow the catalogue entirely we will help you export everything.
