What this handles
- Mautic + MySQL — core marketing CRM

- Sending campaigns up to 50,000 emails/month (via SMTP relay)
- Light n8n usage (a few automations running occasionally)
- SSL certificates for up to 3 subdomains
For a freelancer or consultant just getting started, a 2 vCPU / 4 GB RAM VPS is the most cost-effective choice. Hostinger offers VPS plans in this range — use code GOLDCOUPON for 20% off.
Services that fit comfortably
- Mautic (always)
- Cal.com booking (lightweight)
- PocketBase (very lightweight)
Avoid running n8n with heavy AI workflows on this tier.
Estimated monthly VPS cost
3–8 EUR/month depending on provider and region. Combined with your 149 MAD ServicePlus license, your total monthly cost is well under 300 MAD — compared to 1,500–3,000 MAD for an equivalent SaaS stack.
