No more maintenance headaches!
Finaly, I can relax and not bother with maintenance. Each of the softwares that we run on DANIAN is automated and running stable for couple months already. They even assist us with modifying the DNS records. Once we needed to modify the config of Nextcloud so that we are able to upload higher than 5GB files and they assisted us fast. I also love their documentation!

Kevin Blackwell

Best managed service
I previously ran Peertube, Mastodon, Mattermost and Mirotalk on other providers before switching to DANIAN. I was tired of handling the updates and backups myself. Not only that the performance is "out of this world" fast, but their tech support is amazing. Since then I added 5-10 more Apps on my account. I also love how they add more softwares on their list constantly!

Love the personalized service!

n8n runs excellent

David Hartmann

Smooth experience
I needed a way to manage the projects and files for my company. This was the first time I learn about opensource. I asked their support and livechat and they assisted me immediately. I started with Openproject. Later I added Nextcloud. My team were able to get used to the apps fast.

Love the freedom
I wanted to use a crm for my startup. I signed up for the free trial. Tried out espocrm and dolibar and picked one. Their dashboard is very easy for a beginner. I recommend them and feel confident in choosing them.

Wow just wow
After discovering DANIAN, I wished I'd found them sooner — their solution is excellent and deserves wider recognition. Very good solution!

Tyler Hollander

Professional tech support!

Bastian Engel

Their support team is the best!
I had a problem with my card and the subscription could not be renewed in time. I notified their support and surprisingly, they showed much understanding. They basically left my apps run until I solved the card issue. Other providers would have deleted my data in a heartbeat. This is the way to build client-vendor trust!

George Adams

Fair price and fast
4 months ago I activated n8n, Uptime kuma, Vaultwarden and Paperlessngx. So far everything is perfect. The performance of all apps is excellent. I contacted their support team couple times for using custom subdomains for the apps and they were fast and kind. I'm constantly recommending them to my network!

Vaultwarden 10/10
I wanted to selfhost a passwords manager for my company but I didn't trust the mainstream providers. I tried out Vaultwarden for the free trial. I loved how their support team communicated with me professionally but still kind. I know that I can contact them whenever with whatever question I have. Recommended!

Everything just works!
My focus is on my business, not running servers. I love that I can lauch any app without having to think about the tech behind it. Everything just works!
Tony Roy

Awesome support team!

Filip

Very proactive!
Today couple of the videos on my Peertube got viral. Before I even noticed, their support have notified me via email that they proactively upgraded my app with more cpu & ram so that it continues to work without any downtime. They left the upgraded app with the added resources for couple days until the traffic stabilizes. After that I had the possiblity to stay on the same plan or keep the upgraded plan. Out of gratitude I stayed on the upgraded one.

Luke Hall

Win-win!
I run a web design biz. After I perform the work for my clients, they constantly ask me for more software solutions. So I partnered with DANIAN. Not only I provide the requested softwares for my clients and get the increased revenue boost by delegating all to DANIAN, but also for those clients that wish to order directly from DANIAN, I send them an affiliate link. Win-win on all sides!

Awesome customer service
I needed to add analytics on my website but I didn't know anything about DNS. Their team guided me at all phases and they performed the changes for me. Additionally they were transparent and notified me of every change applied and steps performed.

Gabriele Marino

Good admin dashboard
Not only that I got Chatwoot, I also have access to the management dashboard. I love that I can view my hourly/daily usage and perform manual backups and restorations if needed. I don't need the level of control but it feels good to know that I have it if I need it.

Great service!
I configure custom Matomo tracking for my clients as a monthly service. Many of my clients were asking if they can selfhost Matomo instead of using the Cloud service. My employee recommended DANIAN. Basically, I can activate as much Matomo's in any of 20+ countries the same day. Additionally the affiliate revenue is a nice bonus.

Jacob Turner

Smooth experience
I was listing through youtube tuts on how to install Bookstack myself. Then randomly, I found their video playlist exactly for Bookstack. Got curious and went at their website. For the same price (or higher) that I would pay for just the VPS, with them I'm getting a fully managed Bookstack. It's a no-brainer decision!

Mason Hayes

Its a great service
Its a great service. I love the performance of my Mastodon community. It keeps on growing and I don't have any worries about backups, secuirity, updates, etc.

Vinícius Rocha

Very intuitive solution!
I wanted to use a nocode software for my company. A friend recommended them so I tried both Baserow and NocoDB, couple days later picked one.

USE CASES
Three teams who run Yourls on DANIAN
These are representative team types we set up most often. Each starts with the same flat €9 plan.
8-PERSON MARKETING AGENCY
Replacing Bitly Growth after the free-plan ads broke a client campaign
One YOURLS instance per client (5 clients, 5 instances), pinned to a region close to each client's audience. Custom branded short domain per client (links.client-a.com). The agency bulk-imports campaign links via the YOURLS API at the start of each quarter, and runs click attribution through their existing Matomo instance via the Hide Referrer plugin.
SOLO NEWSLETTER PUBLISHER
45k subscribers, branded short domain, unlimited tracked links
Runs YOURLS on links.publisher.tld with Integrated QRCodes for the podcast-companion site. The branded domain matters: free-tier interstitial ads were getting flagged in subscriber spam folders. Daily click-roll-up to a Google Sheet via the YOURLS API. Cost: one €9/month line item replacing a Bitly Core plus a Rebrandly tier.
4-PERSON SAAS STARTUP
API access for programmatic short-link creation from their CRM
YOURLS hosted in us-east, integrated with HubSpot Workflows: every new campaign autogenerates a tracked short link via the YOURLS API and writes the short URL back to the contact record. Admin endpoint behind Cloudflare Turnstile. The move was triggered by an interstitial ad breaking a co-marketing campaign with a partner.
COMPARISON
Four ways to run Yourls
Most teams arrive at managed YOURLS after pricing out the alternatives. Below is the same workload — a branded short-link service with click tracking — costed four ways: stay on a proprietary SaaS, run it yourself on a VPS, run it on a home server, or run it on DANIAN.
| 1 USER / LOW VOLUME | 5 USERS / MID VOLUME | 10 USERS / HEAVY | OPERATIONAL TIME | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bitly (proprietary SaaS) | $10/mo Core, 100 links/mo, 1 custom domain | $29/mo Growth, 500 links/mo, 10 QR codes | $199/mo Premium, high-volume tier | ~0 hrs/mo. Free plan adds interstitial ads to your links since Feb 2025. |
| Self-host on a VPS | ~$44/mo $24 VPS + $5 backup + $15 monitoring | ~$44/mo same infra, add MariaDB tuning | ~$60/mo larger VPS for click-heavy workload | 5–10 hrs setup, 1–2 hrs/mo ongoing (PHP, MariaDB, plugins, TLS, bot filter). €60–240/mo in time at freelance rates. |
| Home server (mini-PC or NAS) | €18–55/mo hardware amortised over 36 mo | +€17–32/mo electricity at €0.30/kWh | +€40–80/mo business internet with static IP + €10 off-site backup | 2–4 hrs/mo ongoing. Effective total path: €210–667/mo with operational time. |
| DANIAN Managed Yourls | €9/mo | €9/mo | €9/mo | 0 hrs/mo. Backups, monitoring, patching, plugin tuning, bot filtering, TLS all included. |
Bitly pricing reflects the published tiers as of early 2026. VPS path uses a $24/month production-class instance with 2 vCPU and 4 GB RAM as the internal reference. Home-server path assumes a Synology DS923+ or equivalent business-grade mini-PC.

URL-shortener workloads vary more by industry than the tool category suggests. The configurations below reflect what we tune by default for each profile — and the kinds of decisions a generic shared host won't make for you.
