Deploy Mastodon in one click installation.
Self-hosted, federated microblogging platform that connects to a global network of independently owned servers.
What you can build with Mastodon
Mastodon is the leading open-source federated social network — the largest project in the ActivityPub fediverse, with thousands of independently operated instances and tens of millions of users worldwide. It looks and feels like a familiar microblogging platform, but every server is owned, moderated, and operated by someone different, and users on any server can follow and converse with users on any other server.
Running your own Mastodon instance on a VPS gives you a permanent home in the fediverse — one you fully control. You set the rules, choose who can sign up, decide who federates with whom, and own the data, with no advertising, no algorithmic timeline, and no third-party platform that can change the terms tomorrow.
Key features of Mastodon
ActivityPub federation
Speaks the W3C ActivityPub standard, so your instance interoperates with every other Mastodon server, Pleroma, Misskey, and the wider fediverse.
Chronological timeline
Posts appear in the order they were sent — no algorithmic ranking, no recommended ads, no reshuffled feed competing for engagement.
Server-level moderation
Owner-defined community rules, content warnings, and instance-level blocks let you cultivate a community with the tone you want.
Rich post composer
Up to 500 characters per post (configurable), polls, media attachments, content warnings, alt text, and customizable visibility per post.
Open API and clients
Mature REST and streaming APIs power a wide ecosystem of mobile and desktop clients including the official Mastodon apps for iOS and Android.

Docker VPS hosting you can rely on
I'm incredibly happy with Hostinger's VPS hosting! Their uptime is consistently top-notch, keeping my site running smoothly. Whenever I've needed help, their technical support team has been quick, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful.
Everything is smooth and great with Hostinger, the AI chat bot + human chat, if AI can't resolve your question. Oh and them VPS is just fire, no ups and downs. Thank you dev team and everyone else involved. Keep it up 🚀
Finally a VPS hosting company that does it right! Well-priced. Excellent portal that respects their users' time. Seamless backups. Good support. Reliable. Feels rock-solid.
I reached out to Hostinger support after losing access to my self-hosted n8n instance, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Hostinger Agent and Mohammad from the support team were incredibly patient and thorough.
Many thanks to Carla for helping me with this N8N upgrade on my Hostinger VPS. Professional and knowledgeable, thank you again Carla.
Hostinger VPS is absolutely outstanding. It just always works. It is always fast and stable. Never down, never crashes.
The company is doing well, I am very happy with the specific services I use through them. Not as expensive as some places with really great VPS set ups and price plans.
