Does deploying Umami cost anything on top of the VPS?
No. One Click Apps is included with every OnetSolutions VPS from 2 vCPU, 2 GB of RAM and 30 GB of disk. There is no surcharge, no separate subscription and no billing per page view.

Measuring your audience without giving away your data
Umami is an open-source web analytics tool designed to give you the essentials — page views, traffic sources, devices, countries — without dropping a cookie or building a visitor profile.
That restraint has two practical consequences. The first is legal: with no cookie and no personal data, the consent banner question looks very different. The second is technical: the script is light and, served from your own domain, it escapes the block lists that quietly truncate the numbers of third-party tools.
Umami relies on a relational database. The one-click deployment provisions it and wires it to the application, which is usually the most tedious step of a manual install.

From order to first report
Three steps, no command line.
1
Order a VPS and tick Umami
Pick a Debian or Ubuntu image and a size of at least 2 vCPU, 2 GB of RAM and 30 GB of disk, then select Umami from the catalogue.
2
The deployment runs itself
The application and its database are installed, the credentials generated, and the dashboard published over HTTPS.
3
Add the script to your sites
Declare a site in Umami, paste the tracking tag into your pages, and the first visits show up immediately.
Manual install versus one click
What you would have done by hand on a bare server, and what is left for you here.
| By hand | One click | |
|---|---|---|
| Going live | SSH session, Docker and a database to install | One box ticked at order time |
| HTTPS | Reverse proxy and certificate to handle yourself | Issued and renewed automatically |
| Database | To create, secure, then declare in the configuration | Provisioned and wired up for you |
| Updates | Image to pull again and migrations to run | Flagged in the console, applied in one click |
| Backups | Script and remote storage to set up | Daily, 7-day retention, one-click restore |
What size of VPS for Umami
Umami asks for 1 GB of RAM. What weighs after that is the volume of events recorded and how much history you keep.
| Use case | Configuration | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| A few sites | 2 vCPU · 2 GB RAM · 30 GB NVMe | Brochure sites and blogs, up to a few tens of thousands of page views a month. |
| Agency or e-commerce | 2 vCPU · 4 GB RAM · 60 GB NVMe | Several client sites, custom events, history kept over several years. |
| High traffic | 4 vCPU · 8 GB RAM · 120 GB NVMe | Large event volumes and reporting queries over long periods. |
The database grows with traffic. Watch disk usage from the console and resize the VPS without reinstalling the day it becomes necessary.
What we do, what you do
Worth stating plainly: we deliver and run the server, the application stays yours.
On us
The VPS, the network, DDoS protection, the hypervisor, and the deployment platform that installs the application, issues the certificate and triggers the backups.
On you
Umami itself: its configuration, its updates, its data. Our support does not step into the application and provides neither maintenance nor monitoring for it.
Worth doing
Serve the tracking script from your own domain, and check with your own counsel what your exact setup means for informing your visitors.
Frequently asked questions about hosting Umami
What people ask us most before getting started.
Does Umami remove the need for a consent banner?
Umami is built to work without cookies and without personal data, which changes the terms of the question entirely. We cannot settle your particular case for you: the answer depends on your setup and your other trackers, and belongs with your own counsel.
How many sites can I track?
As many as you like. It is your server: there is no site quota, no page-view quota and no per-event billing.
Where are the statistics stored?
In your VPS database, in our datacenter in France. Daily backups are kept for 7 days and can be restored in one click from the console.
Do I keep SSH access to the server?
Yes. The VPS remains a full VPS with root access. One-click deployment saves you from needing SSH, it does not take it away.
