How SearXNG is hosted

Valebyte launches the application automatically in a managed container. You receive its URL and application access, but not root access to the host system.

info Overview

SearXNG is a free, open-source, privacy-respecting metasearch engine. Instead of running its own crawler, it queries more than 70 external search engines — Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Wikipedia and many more — then aggregates the results into a single clean page, without tracking you, storing your searches or building a profile.

Valebyte hosting model: SearXNG launches automatically as a managed application. Choose a region and resource plan; after checkout you receive the application URL and app-level access, normally within minutes. Valebyte maintains the host infrastructure. Root access to the host is not provided, and infrastructure backups are not enabled automatically.

quiz Frequently Asked Questions

Is SearXNG a good private, self-hosted Google alternative? expand_more

Yes. SearXNG gives you Google-style results by aggregating 70+ engines, but it is fully self-hosted with no tracking, no ads and no profiling, so it is one of the best privacy-focused Google alternatives you can run yourself.

How does SearXNG protect my privacy? expand_more

It does not track you, does not build a profile and does not store your search history. Because it is self-hosted, your queries stay on your own server and are never handed to a third-party search company.

Which search engines does it use? expand_more

SearXNG aggregates results from 70+ external engines — including Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo and Wikipedia — across categories like web, images, news, science, IT and maps. You can enable or disable engines to fit your needs.

Do I need to create an account? expand_more

No. SearXNG has no user accounts — you just open the URL and search. Because it is self-hosted, your queries stay private on your own server.

How long does deployment take? expand_more

About three minutes. Valebyte pulls the official image, configures it with a secret key and automatic HTTPS, and gives you a ready-to-use search URL — no command line required.

Can I set SearXNG as my browser's default search engine? expand_more

Yes. Once deployed on your own domain with HTTPS, you can add it as a search engine in your browser and even query it from your own apps through its API.
