Getting Started with BearHost n8n Hosting

Your BearHost n8n hosting plan comes with n8n pre-installed and ready to use. This guide walks you through accessing your instance and creating your first workflow.

After Purchase

Once your n8n hosting plan is provisioned (usually within 2–5 minutes), you'll receive an email with:

• n8n URL — Your unique n8n editor URL (e.g. https://your-ip or https://yourdomain.com)
• Initial credentials — Your admin email and generated password
• Server credentials — SSH/root access details for advanced users

Accessing Your n8n Editor

1. Open the n8n URL from your welcome email in any browser
2. Log in with the credentials provided
3. You'll see the n8n workflow canvas — this is where you build automations

Creating Your First Workflow

1. Click "Add workflow" in the top right
2. Click the + button on the canvas to add your first node
3. Search for a trigger — for example, "Schedule Trigger" to run on a timer
4. Add an action node — for example, "HTTP Request" to call an API
5. Connect the nodes by dragging from one to another
6. Click "Test workflow" to run it manually
7. Toggle the workflow Active to enable automatic execution

Key Concepts

• Nodes: Each step in your workflow (triggers, actions, logic)
• Triggers: Start a workflow (webhooks, schedules, app events)
• Credentials: Securely stored API keys and login details for connected services
• Executions: Each time a workflow runs
