Qdrant hosting

A fast vector database with real filtering, written in Rust.

Vector & dataApache-2.0from $5.99/mo
In short

Qdrant hosting at AIHostBox means a dedicated, single-tenant Qdrant 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 $5.99 per month and the admin account, the data and any API keys are yours.

Payload filteringQuantizationSnapshotsREST + gRPCHybrid search

Qdrant stores embeddings and finds the nearest ones quickly, with payload filtering that actually works at query time — so “similar documents, but only from this customer and only since March” is one request rather than a post-processing step. Quantization keeps memory use sane as collections grow.

Every instance here is private: your own API key, your own storage, snapshots included in the nightly backup. It sits behind whatever is generating the embeddings — an application plan, a local model, or a commercial embedding API.

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.

How we run Qdrant

The single official Qdrant container (Rust binary) serving REST on 6333 and gRPC on 6334, with collections in /qdrant/storage and snapshots in /qdrant/snapshots on persistent disk; no other services.

What we configure for you

  • QDRANT__SERVICE__API_KEY set before the port is reachable
  • QDRANT__SERVICE__READ_ONLY_API_KEY for query-only clients
  • QDRANT__SERVICE__JWT_RBAC when you want per-collection tokens
  • TLS in front of both REST and gRPC endpoints
  • Storage and snapshot directories included in the nightly off-box backup

Which plan fits

Starter (2 GB) holds a few hundred thousand 768-dimension vectors in memory, or more with scalar quantization and original vectors kept on disk. Plus (4 GB) takes around a million 768-dimension vectors with quantization; Pro (8 GB) holds that million unquantized with headroom, or several million quantized, larger dimensions and many indexed payload fields.

The honest limits

These are single-node instances, so Qdrant’s distributed mode with sharding and replication across machines is not available. Qdrant stores and searches vectors; you still need something to create the embeddings.

What people run Qdrant for

RAG backbone

The retrieval layer under AnythingLLM, Dify or your own code.

Recommendations

Similar-item lookup with business rules applied in the same query.

Deduplication

Questions

Qdrant hosting: your questions

How large a collection fits?
Rough guide: a million 768-dimension vectors need in the region of 3 GB before quantization, comfortably less with it. Tell us your vector count and dimension and we will size the plan honestly.
How do I back up or move a collection?
Qdrant snapshots are archives of a collection’s vectors, payloads and configuration. Create one with POST /collections/{name}/snapshots, download it, and restore elsewhere through the snapshots/recover or snapshots/upload endpoints. Our nightly backup copies the storage and snapshot directories off the instance.
Can I give an application read-only access?
Yes. Besides the admin key (QDRANT__SERVICE__API_KEY) Qdrant supports a separate read-only key, so a search front-end can query without being able to delete a collection. With JWT RBAC enabled you can also issue tokens restricted to particular collections.
Does it support hybrid keyword and vector search?
Yes. A collection can hold dense vectors alongside sparse vectors, such as BM25-style or SPLADE representations, and a single query can combine both and fuse the results. Payload filters apply on top, so hybrid search can still be restricted by tenant, date or tag.
Which clients and ports does it use?
REST on port 6333 and gRPC on 6334, with official clients for Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Rust, Go, Java and .NET. The built-in web dashboard at /dashboard lets you browse collections and run test queries without writing code.
