Deploy PrivateBin in one click installation.
Zero-knowledge encrypted pastebin where the server never sees your content — all encryption and decryption happens entirely in the browser.
What you can build with PrivateBin
PrivateBin is a minimalist open-source pastebin where content is encrypted with 256-bit AES-GCM directly in the browser before it ever reaches the server. The decryption key lives only in the URL fragment, which browsers never send to the server — meaning not even the server operator can read what you share. With over 8,000 GitHub stars, it is one of the most trusted zero-knowledge sharing tools available.
Self-hosting PrivateBin on your VPS keeps your sharing infrastructure entirely private — no third-party service sees your pastes — and the lightweight Alpine container requires minimal resources while giving you full control over retention policies, file size limits, and access.
Key features of PrivateBin
Zero-Knowledge Encryption
256-bit AES-GCM encryption runs entirely in the browser so the server stores only ciphertext and can never access your plain-text content.
Burn After Reading
One-time pastes are deleted automatically after the first view, making them ideal for sharing passwords, tokens, or any secret that should not persist.
Password Protection
Add an optional password on top of the URL-based key for a second layer of access control on particularly sensitive pastes.
Syntax Highlighting
Over 200 programming language themes make it easy to share and review code snippets with readable formatting and color-coded syntax.
No Accounts Required
Anyone with the link can read a paste instantly — no sign-up, no tracking, and no user data collected or stored by the server.

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.
