What you can build with eLabFTW
eLabFTW is a free and open-source electronic lab notebook (ELN) built specifically for research laboratories. It replaces paper notebooks and scattered spreadsheets with a structured, searchable workspace where scientists log experiments, manage samples and reagents, store protocols, and collaborate on shared resources across teams.
Self-hosting eLabFTW on your own VPS keeps sensitive research data, intellectual property, and unpublished results entirely under institutional control — no third-party cloud, no per-seat pricing, and no risk of vendor lock-in. The full PDF/ZIP export, timestamping, and S3-compatible storage make it suitable for regulated environments that require audit trails and long-term archiving.
Key features of eLabFTW
Experiment notebook
Rich-text and Markdown editor with LaTeX, code highlighting, file attachments, and version history for every experiment entry.
Sample database
Track reagents, equipment, antibodies, and cell lines with custom item types, metadata, and inventory locations across the lab.
Team collaboration
Share experiments and resources across teams with granular per-item and per-user access control and a shared template library.
Reusable protocols
Build a versioned protocol library that any team member can clone into a new experiment, keeping methods consistent and reproducible.
Trusted timestamps
Cryptographically timestamp experiment entries through RFC 3161 authorities to prove when data was recorded for IP and audit needs.

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.
