Ollama hosting
Your private LLM server — pull a model, get an API, keep every token on your own box.
Ollama hosting at AIHostBox means a dedicated, single-tenant Ollama 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 $16.99 per month and the admin account, the data and any API keys are yours.
Ollama turns open-weight models — Llama, Hermes, Qwen, Mistral, Gemma and hundreds more — into a one-line experience: ollama pull, and you have a private, OpenAI-compatible API. Nothing is metered, no prompt leaves the machine, and no provider decides what your model may answer.
Our plans run Ollama on dedicated CPU cores with NVMe storage for model files. To be straight with you: these are CPU plans. Quantized 7-8B models are genuinely usable for chat, RAG and automation glue at roughly 5-15 tokens per second; 13B works on the 12 GB plan for non-realtime jobs. If you need a 70B model or realtime latency you want GPU hardware, and we would rather say so here than after checkout.
Ollama hosting plans
Every plan is a dedicated single-tenant instance with NVMe storage, nightly off-box backups, TLS and managed patching. Quarterly, semi-annual and annual terms are discounted at checkout. Model tokens are not included — you bring your own key.
What people run Ollama for
Private chat + RAG
Pair with Open WebUI or AnythingLLM for a ChatGPT-style UI over your documents.
Automation backend
Give Activepieces or Node-RED a flat-cost local model for classification and extraction.
Dev & staging endpoint
A stable OpenAI-compatible endpoint for testing without burning paid tokens.
Compliance workloads
Keep prompts and outputs on hardware you control.
How Ollama hosting compares
| Option | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Elestio | from $30/mo | Managed Ollama; GPU only through a third-party add-on. |
| Cloud GPU instances | $400–1,000/mo + egress | The right answer for realtime or 70B work — and priced accordingly. |
| AIHostBox | from $16.99/mo | Dedicated single-tenant instance, managed updates and backups. |
We are the cheap end of this table on purpose: quantized 7-13B models on dedicated CPU cores. If you need GPU speed, one of the others is the better buy and we will tell you so.
Prices verified September 2026 and may have changed since.

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.

Is this a shared account or my own instance?
Do I have to know Docker?
What is included in the monthly price?
Can I move to a bigger plan later?
