AI workflows are becoming an essential part of modern businesses, helping teams automate repetitive tasks, connect their favorite tools and build intelligent agents that work around the clock. But running these workflows requires infrastructure that’s always available.
That’s why we’re excited to introduce Sim on Bluehost VPS.
With one-click deployment, full root access and Docker support, you can self-host Sim on a high-performance Bluehost VPS in minutes. Whether you’re building AI agents, automating business processes or running complex, multi-step workflows, Bluehost gives you the speed, flexibility and control to run Sim with confidence.
In this guide, we’ll show you what Sim is, why self-hosting matters and how to get started.
What is Sim?
Sim is an open-source AI workspace for building, deploying and managing intelligent agents. Instead of creating isolated automations, Sim lets you build complete workflows using natural language, a visual workflow builder or its API and SDK.
Each workspace can combine AI agents, workflows, knowledge bases, tables and more than 1,000 integrations into a single environment. Workflows can branch, loop, call external tools and trigger automatically through schedules, webhooks or table updates, making Sim well suited for complex, always-on automation.
Your AI workflows,
running around the clock.
Root access, NVMe storage, and unmetered bandwidth for Sim’s agents, routers, and knowledge bases — self-hosted on infrastructure you own.
Why self-host Sim?
For many technical teams, self-hosting isn’t just about where Sim runs, it’s about maintaining complete control over the entire AI workspace.
Running Sim on your own VPS means your workflows, documents, prompts, API keys and knowledge bases stay on infrastructure you own. It also gives you the flexibility to connect local AI models alongside cloud providers, configure your runtime to fit your workloads and avoid usage-based pricing as automation scales.
Most importantly, self-hosting ensures your workflows continue running even when your local machine is offline. Scheduled jobs, webhook listeners and table triggers stay active around the clock, so your automations never miss an event.
Why run Sim on Bluehost VPS?
Sim is designed to run continuously. It needs infrastructure that stays online, performs consistently and gives you complete control over the runtime.
Bluehost VPS provides everything required for a dependable self-hosted Sim deployment.
- Always-on performance
Keep Schedule, Webhook and Table triggers running 24/7 without relying on a local machine. Your workflows remain available whenever they’re needed.
- Docker-ready deployment
Sim’s recommended deployment uses Docker and Docker Compose. Bluehost VPS provides full root access, allowing you to install, configure and manage your environment without platform restrictions.
- Fast NVMe storage
Knowledge bases rely on frequent document ingestion, embedding generation and retrieval. High-performance NVMe storage helps keep these operations responsive, even as workflow activity grows.
- Built for growing workloads
As your workspace expands with additional workflows, integrations and teammates, you can scale your VPS resources without rebuilding your deployment. Persistent storage ensures your workflows, tables and knowledge bases remain intact across restarts.

FAQs
Yes. Sim supports both cloud-hosted and self-hosted AI models. You can connect providers like OpenAI, Anthropic and Google Gemini or run local models such as Ollama, depending on your workflow requirements.
Yes. A single SIM workspace can be shared across your team, allowing everyone to build, manage and monitor workflows, knowledge bases and integrations from one centralized environment.
Sim supports everything from simple automations to complex, multi-step workflows. You can create AI agents that branch based on conditions, execute tasks in parallel, interact with APIs, query knowledge bases and automate processes across connected applications.
If you’re already running a self-hosted Sim instance, you can migrate your deployment to Bluehost VPS by moving your Docker environment, persistent storage and configuration files. This allows you to continue using your existing workflows and knowledge bases on dedicated infrastructure.
The right plan depends on your workload. Smaller teams or developers testing workflows can start with an entry-level VPS plan, while production deployments with larger knowledge bases, multiple AI agents or concurrent workflows may benefit from plans with additional CPU, memory and storage. For a ready-to-use setup, see our guide to purchasing a Self-Managed VPS with Sim installation.
Yes. Self-hosting Sim on Bluehost VPS allows you to keep your workflows, documents, prompts, API keys and knowledge bases on infrastructure you control, making it a strong option for teams that prioritize privacy and infrastructure ownership.
