Apps / Invoice Ninja
Managed Invoice Ninja hosting.
One server, no app limits.
Invoicing, quotes, and payments for freelancers and agencies.
What it is
Invoice Ninja is invoicing done properly: quotes, recurring invoices, payments, expenses, and client portals, self-hosted so the fee per invoice is zero and the client list is yours.
Minimum RAM
2 GB
Fits on SC-2GB; SC-4GB is the comfortable pick with room to stack.
What we install
The playbook deploys the current Invoice Ninja v5 on PHP with a tuned MariaDB, HTTPS forced, queues and cron running, PDF generation working, and mail through the managed gateway so invoices reach clients, not spam folders.
What managed covers
Platform, PHP, and database updates with snapshots first; daily snapshots plus dual offsite backups of every invoice and client; monitoring, the managed firewall, and the deliverability your cash flow depends on.
The app is $0. The managed server is the only bill, and everything above is part of it.
What does managed Invoice Ninja hosting include?
The full self-hosted feature set (unlimited invoices and clients, portals, payments) running on infrastructure we keep healthy, with backups that treat your invoices like the business records they are, and email that lands.
Self-hosted versus the hosted plans?
Hosted plans meter clients and white-labeling by tier. Self-hosted is the whole product with your branding at the price of a server it can share with other apps, and your financial data never lives in someone else's multi-tenant database.
Do invoice emails actually deliver?
That is the make-or-break for invoicing software, and it is the part a random VPS gets wrong. Here every invoice leaves through the MailChannels gateway with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC set, so getting paid does not depend on a client checking spam.
Can it share a server with my other business apps?
Yes: an EspoCRM for the pipeline and Invoice Ninja for the billing on one managed server is a tidy small-business back office at one flat price.

Frequently asked questions
How much RAM does Invoice Ninja need?
2 GB with the database and PDF generation is comfortable for most businesses; it is not a heavy application.
Do payment gateways work?
Yes: Stripe, PayPal, and the other supported gateways connect with your own accounts, and webhooks reach the server over HTTPS.
Is our billing data backed up?
Daily snapshots plus dual offsite backups, database and documents both. A deleted invoice or a bad import is a restore request, not a loss.
