SearXNG hosting

A private metasearch engine — and the search backend your agents need.

In short

SearXNG hosting at AIHostBox means a dedicated, single-tenant SearXNG 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.

No trackingJSON APIMany enginesAgent-ready

SearXNG queries dozens of search engines and returns aggregated results without profiling you, storing your queries or serving ads. As a personal search engine that is reason enough; as infrastructure it is more interesting still, because it gives your AI stack a search API that costs a flat monthly fee instead of per query.

Open WebUI, Perplexica, Dify and most agent frameworks can use a SearXNG instance for web search. Running your own means those searches leave from your instance rather than from a commercial API tied to your account.

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

SearXNG hosting: your questions

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.
