But running these workflows requires infrastructure that&#8217;s always available.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s why we&#8217;re excited to introduce Sim on Bluehost VPS.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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&#8217;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.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this guide, we&#8217;ll show you what Sim is, why self-hosting matters and how to get started.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-what-is-sim\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Sim?\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluehost.com\/help\/article\/bh-self-manged-what-is-sim-ai\">Sim<\/a> 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.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!-- Sim VPS Hosting at Bluehost \u2014 animated CTA banner, 1000x300 -->\n<!-- Bluehost brand colors: navy #071A33, blue #2C76DC, brandeis blue #0075FA, white -->\n<!-- Signature animation: a data packet moving through a Sim-style workflow graph\n     (Trigger -> Agent -> Router -> branches to API \/ Loop), echoing Sim's own\n     block-and-connection canvas rather than a generic uptime monitor. -->\n<style>\n  .simvps-cta {\n    --navy-1: #071A33;\n    --navy-2: #0C2748;\n    --line: #163457;\n    --text: #F3F7FC;\n    --text-dim: #9FB3CC;\n    --blue: #2C76DC;\n    --blue-bright: #0075FA;\n    --blue-soft: rgba(44,118,220,0.35);\n    font-family: 'Sora', 'Inter', -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, sans-serif;\n  }\n  .simvps-cta * { box-sizing: border-box;

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.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1787659286341\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What types of workflows can I build with Sim?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">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.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1787659294279\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Can I migrate my existing Sim deployment to Bluehost VPS?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">If you&#8217;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.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1787659302541\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Which Bluehost VPS plan is best for Sim?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">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.
