Recommended for most

Hybrid Self Hosted Plan

Get the full benefits of the cloud while running traffic and SSL certificates strictly through your own infrastructure.

What to consider:

Sometimes you'd prefer all of the convenience and power of the cloud version, but you need to have traffic and SSL certificates running through your own infrastructure.

With the Hybrid version we're able to make full use of the existing cloud features, which means that we can maintain it more easily alongside the cloud version and offer this plan at a lower price than the Full Self Hosted plan, despite having more features.

For most organizations, this plan will likely satisfy regulatory requirements and organizational policies that can otherwise make running traffic and security certificates through a new third party provider a pain. With the Hybrid approach, often no additional effort is required to be compliant.

We recommend the Hybrid version for almost all self hosted scenarios, unless you require a local API and dashboard.

Bring the cloud to your own infrastructure.

  • As easy as the cloud version.
    You can use the Approximated cloud API and dashboard exactly as you would with the cloud version. Meanwhile your self hosted instances will automatically sync changes from the Approximated cloud.
  • All of the cloud features.
    The Hybrid Self Hosted version of Approximated is able to make full use of every feature that the cloud version has, as soon as they're released or updated. Make no sacrifices.
  • Simple setup and maintenance.
    We've created a very light weight container image which you can use to run as many instances as needed, on whatever infrastructure you want. For those running VPSes or bare metal server, we have install and run scripts to make it even easier.
  • Free white-glove onboarding.
    In fact it's so easy that we're happy to setup your self hosted installation for you free of charge. We'll book a call with you to go over your needs and to get the appropriate temporary access for installation.
  • Cluster across almost anything.
    Want to host instances across multiple regions and/or infrastructure providers? No problem. Hybrid Self Hosting will work with almost any configuration, so that you can mitigate down time from any single region or vendor as you see fit. You can also run it simultaneously with Approximated cloud.
  • Transparent and predictable pricing.
    $199/month base fee, plus $0.10/month per virtual host.

Completely independent

Full Self Hosted Plan

A self hosted installation that can operate entirely on it's own without using the Approximated cloud API.

What to consider:

In most cases we recommend the Hybrid Self Hosted plan, but for some organizations, the benefit of an installation that is completely independent from the cloud outweighs the additional costs and limitations.

The Full Self Hosted plan provides that with a fully independent self hosted installation for those that need complete detachment from the cloud. All certificates and traffic will strictly go through your infrastructure, like the Hybrid plan.

This is a streamlined version that also provides a local API and dashboard, which can be locked down to your liking on your own infrastructure and networks, and will replace the cloud API and dashboard for your usage.

Do note that newly released features seen in the cloud version may be delayed or never ported to the Full Self Hosted version, as some require cloud infrastructure that is difficult or impossible to reproduce in other environments. We have to develop and maintain this version separately from the cloud, which also raises the price, but provides a completely self-contained solution.

Get more control with full independence.

  • Lock down access as needed.
    This version comes with it's own local API and dashboard, which allows you to lock down access to those in any way you see fit.
  • Directly control your uptime.
    You'll no longer depend on Approximated for API and dashboard uptime. Instead, you're in complete control of your uptime on your own servers.
  • Simple setup and maintenance.
    We've created a streamlined, lightweight container image which you can on whatever infrastructure you'd like. For those running VPSes or bare metal server, we have install and run scripts to make it even easier.
  • Free white-glove onboarding.
    We're happy to setup your self hosted installation for you free of charge. We'll book a call with you to go over your needs and to get the appropriate temporary access for installation.
  • Complete data separation.
    While the Hybrid version stores very minimal data in the cloud, such as configuration data, the Full Self Hosted version only needs to store basic account and billing information in the cloud.
  • Simplified pricing at scale.
    Starting at $4,999/month. Custom SLAs available.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I still need to pay for bandwidth?
Approximated will not charge you for bandwidth from self hosted instances, but you may need to pay your infrastructure provider for bandwidth.
Are SSL certficates still provided?
Yes, the self hosted instances still take care of provisioning, monitoring, and renewing SSL certificates as needed.
Do you offer self hosted support?
Yes, our standard support terms apply to self hosted instances, with customizable SLAs available by request.
What are the resource requirements?
That will depend on the number of custom domains and the amount of traffic they'll receive, but we recommend a minimum of 2GB of RAM.
What does white-glove onboarding include?
It includes a discovery call and a one-time setup of as many instances as you need at that time (temporary access required).
Can I migrate from the cloud version?
Yes! We can help you migrate to either plan. DNS changes may be required for custom domains pointed directly at a cloud IP address.
