- What we install
- The playbook deploys the current Open WebUI wired to the Ollama beside it, HTTPS forced, signups locked to your people, document upload working for retrieval, and the service supervised.
- What managed covers
- Platform and server updates, daily snapshots plus optional Dual Backups of accounts and chat history, monitoring, and the managed firewall in front of the login.
- What it needs
- 2 GB RAM
Fits on SC-2GB, from $6.67/mo. Bigger sizes leave room for the apps you stack beside it.

Three ways to run Open WebUI.

The details
Open WebUI here, in plain words.
Straight answers to what people ask before they choose where to run it.
What does managed Open WebUI hosting include?
The interface installed, secured, and connected to your models, with history backed up and access limited to accounts you create. Your team gets the familiar chat experience; the transcript never leaves your server.
Is it actually like ChatGPT to use?
Close enough that nobody needs training: conversations, regenerate, system prompts, model switching mid-chat, and document upload for asking questions against files. The difference is invisible and structural: everything stays on hardware you rent under your name.
Can my whole team use it?
Yes, multi-user with roles is built in: create accounts, restrict models per group, and share the one Ollama underneath. A private company chatbot on a flat server bill, with seat pricing nowhere in sight.
What server does the pair need?
The Ollama underneath sets the requirement: 16 GB for comfortable 7B-class models, with Open WebUI itself adding little. The Private AI kit preselects both and the meter lands you on the right plan honestly.
FAQ
Open WebUI hosting, answered.
Still deciding? These are the questions we hear most.
How much RAM does Open WebUI need?
2 GB for the interface itself; the models behind it in Ollama carry the real requirement.
Can it chat with documents?
Yes, upload files and ask questions against them; the retrieval runs locally alongside the model, so the documents stay private too.
Can we keep it off the internet?
Yes: WireGuard from the catalog in front makes the whole AI stack VPN-only, which for client-confidential work is the recommended shape.
Does it need Ollama on the same server?
It pairs naturally with the Ollama app here (stack both, they wire over localhost), but it can also point at a remote Ollama or external APIs from settings.
Can multiple people use it with separate accounts?
Yes: sign-ups, roles and per-user chat history are built in, with the first account as admin. Registration can be closed once your people are in.
Is this Open WebUI on a VPS or on shared hosting?
A VPS. Open WebUI runs on your own private virtual server with dedicated, non-oversold resources and its own IP. You get real isolation and performance, with the setup, TLS and hardening handled for you.
Can I run other apps on the same server?
Yes. Add any other catalog app to this server from your client area, one click each, no per-app charge. How much fits is a question of RAM, and resizing is minutes.
Do you migrate my existing Open WebUI?
Yes, migration help is free. Open a ticket with access to the current setup and we move it, verify it, and hand it back running. Nothing switches until you approve.
Can I upgrade or downgrade the plan later?
Anytime. Plans resize from the client area in minutes, annual billing keeps its flat 17% discount at every size, and there is never a fee to change tiers.
Open WebUI runs. You sleep.
