Leaving ChatGPT? Open WebUI, managed for you.
Honest switching guide · Open WebUI is open source · runs on the €9/mo plan
A private AI chat that never sends your prompts to a US cloud. Open WebUI is the open-source answer to ChatGPT — and on ezhost you get it without touching a server: one click, your own subdomain, TLS, daily encrypted backups.
Launch Open WebUI — free trial →Free trial — no credit card, cancel monthly.
What you give up (honestly)
- Frontier-model quality: local models (via Ollama, CPU inference) are clearly weaker than GPT-5-class models.
- Speed: CPU inference is slower than a GPU datacenter — we say that out loud.
What you gain
- Open WebUI + Ollama on your own instance: prompts and documents never leave your server.
- No per-token billing, no training on your data.
- Pairs with n8n for private AI automations.
How switching works
1. Launch Open WebUI on ezhost (about a minute). 2. Export your data from ChatGPT. 3. Import — most apps have direct importers; if you get stuck, email support@ezhost.app and a human helps. And because Open WebUI is standard open-source software, you can leave ezhost anytime with your data — that exit door is the point.
