What you can build with Haven
Haven is an open-source personal blogging application built on Ruby on Rails for writers who are looking for a private space to share with friends and family, rather than the public internet. There is no self-signup, no ads, no trackers, and no algorithmic feed — only the people you create accounts for can read your posts.
Self-hosting Haven on your own VPS ensures your journal entries, photos, and subscriber list remain entirely under your control, along with a markdown editor, a built-in RSS reader, and image downscaling optimized for low-bandwidth reading.
Key features of Haven
Private by default
No self-signup means only invited readers can see your posts, photos, and comments — ideal for family blogs and personal journals.
Markdown editor
Write posts in markdown with live preview, embedded images, videos, and audio clips rendered directly inside the editor.
Built-in RSS reader
Follow other Haven blogs and public feeds from inside your own dashboard without a separate feed reader.
Private RSS feeds
Each invited reader receives a personal authenticated RSS URL so that they can subscribe in any feed reader without making your blog public.
Data-saving
Uploaded images are automatically downscaled and the interface ships without JavaScript frameworks, so pages stay fast on slow networks.

I'm incredibly happy with Hostinger's VPS hosting! Their uptime is consistently top-notch, keeping my site running smoothly. Whenever I've needed help, their technical support team has been quick, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful.
Everything is smooth and great with Hostinger, the AI chat bot + human chat, if AI can't resolve your question. Oh and them VPS is just fire, no ups and downs. Thank you dev team and everyone else involved. Keep it up 🚀
Finally a VPS hosting company that does it right! Well-priced. Excellent portal that respects their users' time. Seamless backups. Good support. Reliable. Feels rock-solid.
I reached out to Hostinger support after losing access to my self-hosted n8n instance, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Kodee and Mohammad from the support team were incredibly patient and thorough.
Many thanks to Carla for helping me with this N8N upgrade on my Hostinger VPS. Professional and knowledgeable, thank you again Carla.
Hostinger VPS is absolutely outstanding. It just always works. It is always fast and stable. Never down, never crashes.
The company is doing well, I am very happy with the specific services I use through them. Not as expensive as some places with really great VPS set ups and price plans.
