Plausible Analytics Hosting - Own Your Website Stats Offshore
Plausible Analytics is an open-source, privacy-respecting web analytics tool that gives you real traffic insights without tracking cookies, fingerprinting, or sending data to Google. Self-hosting on an AnubizHost offshore VPS means your analytics data never leaves your server, your visitors' privacy is fully protected, and you need no cookie consent banner.

Plausible vs Google Analytics for Privacy
Google Analytics sends visitor data to US servers, requires cookie consent under GDPR, and feeds Google's advertising profile system. Plausible collects only aggregate, cookieless metrics - page views, referrers, countries, and devices - without any personally identifiable information. Self-hosting takes this further: your aggregate data stays entirely on your AnubizHost VPS, in a jurisdiction of your choosing, with no third-party service receiving even anonymized data. Website operators in the EU can confidently run Plausible without a cookie banner because no personal data is processed. The lightweight script (less than 1 KB) also improves page speed compared to Google's bloated tag.
Deploying Plausible with Docker Compose
Plausible uses ClickHouse for analytics storage and PostgreSQL for app data. The official Docker Compose file handles the full stack:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/plausible/community-edition.git plausible
cd plausible
cp plausible-conf.env.example plausible-conf.env
# Edit plausible-conf.env: set BASE_URL, SECRET_KEY_BASE
docker compose up -d
```
On an AnubizHost VPS with 2 GB RAM and 2 CPU cores, Plausible handles millions of monthly pageviews comfortably. NVMe SSD storage ensures ClickHouse query performance stays fast even with large datasets. The reverse proxy configuration takes 5 minutes with Caddy's automatic HTTPS.
Multi-Site Analytics and Data Ownership
A self-hosted Plausible instance can track unlimited websites from a single deployment - ideal for agencies, freelancers, or businesses managing multiple properties. All historical data belongs to you forever with no retention limits or export fees. AnubizHost VPS plans give you full root access to schedule daily ClickHouse backups to any S3-compatible endpoint. Paying for the server with cryptocurrency keeps your analytics infrastructure entirely separate from the data it processes. For businesses subject to GDPR, hosting in Iceland (EEA member via EEA Agreement) satisfies data residency requirements without the need for Standard Contractual Clauses.
