SillyTavern hosting in the EU
Run your own SillyTavern, an alternative to Character.AI and Janitor AI. One-click install, HTTPS, servers in the EU. Free plan, no card.
SillyTavern: chat and write stories with AI characters you create, through the AI provider you choose. On blitz.cloud you install it from the App Store in one click. It gets its own address with HTTPS, 1 GB of storage, and it runs on servers in the EU. You can run it on the free plan, without a credit card.
A self-hosted alternative to Character.AI, Janitor AI and ChatGPT
SillyTavern does the job of Character.AI, Janitor AI or ChatGPT, but it is your own copy: your data sits in your app, not in somebody else's account, and nobody changes the price or the rules on you. Self-hosting usually means renting a server and keeping it patched. Here the App Store sets it up and keeps it running.

Install it
- Create a free account and open the App Store in the dashboard.
- Search for SillyTavern, or for Character.AI, and pick a name. It becomes the address, like
sillytavern.yourname.blitz.cloud. - Click Put it online. The last step lists everything that gets created and how much of your plan it uses.
- Open the app's address and sign in as admin with this password.
- Under API Connections, pick your AI provider and paste its API key.
Good to know
It runs no AI model itself, so you need an API key from a provider.
Questions
Can I host SillyTavern for free?
Yes. The free plan runs it without a card and without an end date. The app sleeps after 30 minutes without visitors, and the next visit wakes it.
Where is my SillyTavern data stored?
On blitz.cloud's servers in the EU, run by BlitzWorks, a company in Germany. Once signed in, you can download the data processing agreement as a PDF.
Can I use my own domain for SillyTavern?
Yes, on Pro, or on the free plan by making this one app a Pro app. HTTPS for the domain is set up for you.
Is SillyTavern backed up?
On Pro its files are copied every night and kept for 30 nights, and you can put them back from the app's page. On the free plan they are not copied, so keep an export of what matters.
How does SillyTavern get updates?
With automatic updates on, it gets new versions of its version line overnight. If a new version doesn't start, the one before it keeps running.
