Deploy Remark42 in one click installation.
Privacy-focused open-source commenting engine for blogs and websites — a lightweight self-hosted alternative to Disqus.
What you can build with Remark42
Remark42 is a lightweight, open-source commenting engine for blogs and websites, designed as a privacy-respecting alternative to Disqus, Facebook Comments, and other commercial comment platforms. Written in Go for low memory footprint and high concurrency, it embeds via a single JavaScript snippet on any website — static HTML, Hugo, Jekyll, WordPress, Next.js, or any other framework — to add threaded discussions without tracking visitors or showing ads.
Self-hosting Remark42 on your VPS keeps every reader comment, vote, and account inside your infrastructure rather than being mined by a third-party SaaS for advertising data. The compact stack runs in a single container with embedded BoltDB storage — no separate database or cache required.
Key features of Remark42
Easy embed
Drop a single JavaScript snippet into any website to add threaded comments — works with static sites, blogs, and any framework that allows custom HTML.
Multi-provider OAuth
Visitors sign in with Google, GitHub, Facebook, Twitter, Microsoft, Yandex, Patreon, or via anonymous or email-link authentication.
Privacy-first
No tracking pixels, no third-party cookies, no behavioral profiling — Remark42 only stores what is needed to display comments and notifications.
Markdown and threading
Full Markdown support including code blocks, nested replies, voting, and edit/delete with configurable time windows.
Moderation tools
Built-in admin tools for bulk moderation, IP blocking, profanity filtering, comment search, and email/Telegram notifications on new comments.
Backup and export
Compact BoltDB storage with automatic daily backups, importer for Disqus and WordPress comments, and JSON export for migration.

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.
