Advice Needed: Running n8n for Multiple Clients (Agency Setup)

Hey everyone 👋I’m running an automation agency and looking for advice from people who are already using n8n with real clients.

What I need:

Each client must have a fully isolated n8n instance (no shared workflows, credentials, or execution data)
Setup must be 100% compliant with n8n licensing
Ability to manage multiple client instances as an agency
Clients should only see their own automations
Access automations via a white-labeled subdomain (e.g. client1.ouragency.com, client2.ouragency.com)
Needs to scale from a few clients to 100+

What I’m trying to avoid:

Questions for those already doing this:

How are you hosting n8n for clients today?
Are you using one VPS per client, multiple instances per server, or something else?
How do you handle white-labeling and client access?
Any gotchas with licensing I should be aware of?
Any lessons learned or things you’d do differently?

Thanks in advance 🙌

Looking for real-world experience, not theory.Appreciate any insights 🙏
