Mautic hosting on Selfhost.dev puts Mautic, MySQL 8.4, a cron container and a queue worker on a dedicated server we provision, secure and run. Mautic installs itself at deploy with the admin email and password you set in the deploy form, then cron and the worker start on their own, so segments and campaigns update without a crontab to write.
Four containers on one server. You bring the email sender; the schedule is already there.
Mautic is open source marketing automation: email campaigns, segments, landing pages and lead scoring. Mautic hosting is the server and setup it needs to run, because the project sells no hosted version.
Marketing teams leaving contact-priced tools and agencies that want each client's list on a server of its own.
When you want Mautic's schedule and queue working from day one without running the server yourself. If you want someone to run Mautic itself, a hosting partner fits better.
To self host Mautic by hand you install PHP, a web server and MySQL, then add cron jobs and a queue worker before any campaign moves. Guides warn that a missed cron line stops segments and campaigns silently. This template installs Mautic at deploy and runs cron and the worker as their own containers.
Until Mautic's install has run there is nothing to schedule, so the cron and worker containers wait instead of crash-looping. The install runs at deploy with your admin login; once it is written, both start on their own and the 15-minute cycle begins.
Mautic writes its site URL, the address the console shows, into its configuration when it installs. When you add your own domain later, change the site URL in Mautic's configuration too. Otherwise links in emails keep the old address.

| Write a crontab for segments and campaigns | A cron container runs them every 15 minutes |
| Run a queue consumer under a supervisor | A worker container processes Mautic's queue |
| Keep config, logs and media on persistent disk | Four app volumes shared by web, cron and worker, plus a separate MySQL data volume |
| Put a proxy and a certificate in front | TLS per hostname, renewed for you |
Mautic hosting requirements here come from running four containers, not one PHP site. The web app, cron, the queue worker and MySQL share one server, so 8 GB is the size we recommend and the console defaults to it. Guides quoting 2 GB describe a single LAMP install without the worker.

The Launch button opens this exact template in the console. Set the admin email and a password of 8 or more characters, pick one of six locations and submit; the template deploys in about eight minutes.
Open Mautic on the address the console shows and sign in with the admin email and password from the deploy form. Mautic installed itself with them before its first page was served, so there is no setup wizard and nothing for a first visitor to claim.
Add your domain, then set it as the site URL in Mautic's configuration. Connect the provider you send email through. Cron and the worker are already running, so campaigns move as soon as you build them.
Mautic pricing here is the server and nothing else. Mautic is free software and the template adds no fee. A European 8 GB server runs the whole stack at $0.03/hr, about $23 a month, billed by the hour against prepaid credits. Contacts, emails and users never change that number.
| Item | Cost |
|---|---|
| Mautic and MySQL | $0 |
| Contacts, emails and users | $0 at any number |
| Bandwidth | $0, traffic is included in the server price |
| Optional daily backups | +20% of the server price |

With a card on file or a past top-up, Mautic keeps running for 5 days after your balance reaches zero. Then it is stopped and kept for 24 hours before it is deleted; a top-up in that time restarts it. After the delete, a copy of the server is kept for 14 days and you can restore the project from the Projects page. We email you when the balance reaches zero and again when it stops. Welcome-credit-only servers are deleted at zero, with a 3-day copy if the project went live.

There is no official Mautic cloud. The project sells no hosting and sends people to partners, whose managed Mautic plans run the application for you and cap contacts and sends. Hosting it yourself means Mautic on a server of your own, where the bill is the server.

If you want sending, deliverability and Mautic upgrades handled by someone else, a partner plan does that work. Here you get the server and the schedule; the campaigns and the sender reputation stay yours.
The console estimates about eight minutes for the Mautic template after the server is ready; first-time server provisioning adds time.

Launch MauticMautic backup works at two levels here. The server can take an optional daily image of everything on it, MySQL and the media volumes included. Inside Mautic, contacts export to a file you keep anywhere. A full MySQL dump needs container access over SSH, granted on request.
| Method | What it covers | Where it lives |
|---|---|---|
| Daily server backup (optional, +20%) | Mautic, MySQL, config and media; the last 7 kept | With the server; deleted with it |
| Contact export in Mautic | Contacts and their fields | Wherever you save it |
| MySQL dump | Campaigns, emails, segments and contacts | Taken with container access over SSH, granted on request |

Mautic needs PHP, a web server, MySQL, scheduled cron jobs and a queue worker. You can install those on a server yourself or deploy this template, which runs all four parts as containers. Here Mautic installs itself at deploy with the admin email and password you set, so you sign in and connect an email sender before the first campaign.
Yes. Without cron, segments stop rebuilding and campaigns stop moving contacts on. Here a cron container runs segment updates, campaign updates and campaign triggers every 15 minutes, starting once the deploy-time install finishes. A separate worker processes the queue, so there is no crontab or supervisor to configure.
Yes, as two deployments. Run Mautic from this template and WordPress from ours. They can share a project server when it has capacity, with a separate address for each app. Mautic's WordPress plugin then adds the tracking script and forms to your site. Contacts and campaigns stay in Mautic; pages and posts stay in WordPress.
Selfhost.dev's MCP server lets an AI assistant work on the server that runs Mautic: add a domain, read the server's status and check its metrics. It does not reach inside Mautic, so contacts, segments and campaigns stay in Mautic's own interface and API.
Managed server, your Mautic. We provision, secure and monitor the server, renew its certificate and keep cron and the worker running as containers. Inside Mautic you own the setup: the email sender, contacts, campaigns and when to move to a newer version. For hands-off Mautic, see the partner comparison above.
Selfhost.dev is a managed self hosting platform for developers and small teams. Open source apps and databases on dedicated servers you control, billed by the hour, in six locations across three continents.
Best for: Mautic, Chatwoot, Twenty, n8n and managed MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, ClickHouse, OpenSearch and Kafka.
