Apps / Matomo
Managed Matomo hosting.
One server, no app limits.
Google Analytics without Google: your visitors’ data on your server, GDPR-calm.
What it is
Matomo is web analytics you own: visits, sources, conversions, and heatmap-grade detail, with the raw data in your database instead of Google's, and no sampling deciding what you see.
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 Matomo on PHP with a tuned MariaDB, HTTPS forced, the archiving cron configured the way Matomo requires for real traffic, and the tracking snippet ready for your sites.
What managed covers
Platform, PHP, and database updates; daily snapshots plus dual offsite backups of all analytics history; monitoring including the archiver; the managed firewall.
The app is $0. The managed server is the only bill, and everything above is part of it.
What does managed Matomo hosting include?
Matomo with its database tuned and its archiving cron actually running (the classic self-host failure), history backed up twice offsite, at flat server pricing with no pageview meter. Analytics without a middleman.
Why self-host analytics?
Ownership and compliance. The data lives in your database under your jurisdiction, which simplifies GDPR conversations enormously, and features the SaaS analytics world sells by tier (unlimited sites, raw data access, no sampling) are just how Matomo works.
Does it replace Google Analytics?
For most sites, yes, and the importer can even pull your GA history. Real-time, campaigns, goals, ecommerce tracking, and funnels are all there, with the tracking script served from your own domain, which ad blockers treat far more kindly.
Can Matomo track sites on other servers?
Of course: one Matomo instance tracks every site you run anywhere, which is exactly how agencies use it. Stacked next to a WordPress here it shares the server; tracking client sites elsewhere just needs the snippet.

Frequently asked questions
How much RAM does Matomo need?
2 GB with its database suits small-to-mid traffic. High-traffic portfolios lean on the database, and the Dedicated CPU family keeps archiving fast.
Is the archiving cron handled?
Yes, configured and monitored. Broken archiving is why self-hosted Matomo gets a bad name; ours runs.
How long is data kept?
As long as you want, it is your database, and it is backed up daily to two offsite destinations either way.
