At a glance
Vaultwarden here, in four lines.
What it is, what we install, what management covers and what it needs. The rest of this page is detail.
- What it is
- Vaultwarden is the lightweight server for Bitwarden clients: the password manager your team already knows, with the vault on your hardware and the per-user pricing gone.
- What we install
- The playbook deploys the current Vaultwarden behind HTTPS with signups locked to your organization, the admin panel secured, mail through the MailChannels relay (when added) for invites and resets, and attachments on local NVMe.
- What managed covers
- Platform and server updates with snapshots first, daily snapshots plus optional Dual Backups of the encrypted vault, monitoring, and the managed firewall. The vault data is end-to-end encrypted; we cannot read it, and neither can anyone else.
- What it needs
- 1 GB RAM
Fits on SC-1GB, from $5/mo. Bigger sizes leave room for the apps you stack beside it.

The details
Vaultwarden here, in plain words.
Straight answers to what people ask before they choose where to run it.
What does managed Vaultwarden hosting include?
A hardened Vaultwarden compatible with every official Bitwarden client, covered by daily snapshots (twice offsite with Dual Backups), with working invite email and organization features (sharing, collections) that the hosted product gates by tier, at flat server pricing.
Is self-hosting passwords safe?
The vault is encrypted end-to-end on your devices before it ever reaches the server; the server stores ciphertext. What self-hosting changes is custody and availability, and both are handled: patched host, watched firewall, daily snapshots, plus two offsite destinations with Dual Backups.
Do the Bitwarden apps work with it?
All of them: browser extensions, iOS, Android, desktop, and CLI point at your server URL and work exactly as with the hosted service, autofill included.
Can we make it VPN-only?
Yes, and security-minded teams do: WireGuard from this catalog in front of Vaultwarden means the vault server is simply not on the public internet. Two apps, one server, materially smaller attack surface.
FAQ
Vaultwarden hosting, answered.
Still deciding? These are the questions we hear most.
How much RAM does Vaultwarden need?
1 GB is generous; Vaultwarden is famously light, a single Rust binary where the official server is a fleet.
What if the server has a problem?
Clients keep a synced local cache, so passwords remain available while we restore, and restores come from snapshots or, if you added them, Dual Backups.
Can we import from another manager?
Yes, the clients import from every mainstream manager's export format, and organization setup is part of onboarding.
Do the official Bitwarden apps really work?
Yes, all of them: browser extensions, mobile, desktop and CLI. Point them at your server URL and log in; the API is compatible by design.
What happens if my server is down, am I locked out?
No. Clients cache your vault locally, so read access survives an outage. Restore the server (snapshots, or Dual Backups offsite) and sync resumes.
Is this Vaultwarden on a VPS or on shared hosting?
A VPS. Vaultwarden 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 Vaultwarden?
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.
Vaultwarden runs. You sleep.
