Whisper hosting
Private speech-to-text with an OpenAI-compatible transcription API.
Whisper hosting at AIHostBox means a dedicated, single-tenant Whisper 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 $12.99 per month and the admin account, the data and any API keys are yours.
Whisper transcribes audio across dozens of languages, and the optimised CPU builds we deploy (faster-whisper) make that practical without a GPU. You get an API endpoint that accepts an audio file and returns text, timestamps and optional translation — the same shape as the commercial transcription APIs, at a flat monthly price.
This ladder buys cores rather than memory, because transcription is CPU-bound. On the Starter plan the base and small models run comfortably faster than real time; the Pro plan handles medium and large-v3-turbo for higher accuracy work.
Whisper 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 Whisper for

Recordings in, searchable text out, nothing sent to a vendor.

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.
