How to Rename an n8n Cloud Instance

Understanding Instance Renaming in n8n

Currently, n8n does not allow you to rename an existing Cloud instance or change its subdomain after setup. If you need to correct a typo or change the instance name, you will need to create a new instance.

Steps to Create a New Instance

1. Navigate to n8n.io

2. Click on Get Started

3. Follow the registration process using a different email address from the one associated with your current instance. Check that all the information you enter is correct.

4. Choose a unique instance name for your new instance. If the desired subdomain (instance name) is unavailable, try a slightly different name.

5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup.

Transferring Workflows to the New Instance

Once your new instance is set up, you can transfer your workflows from the old instance:

1. Export your workflows from the current instance. Detailed instructions can be found in the n8n documentation.
   Note: To export all your workflows at once from your old instance, you can follow this FAQ article.

2. Import the workflows into your new instance.

3. Request the old instance deletion.
   

Additional Considerations

• Once the old instance is deleted, you can change your new account’s email address to your previous one. See How do I change my email? for instructions.

• If you encounter any issues or need further assistance, please contact n8n support.

• Any request that requires us to make changes to your n8n Cloud instance must come from the instance owner’s email address.

• Please make sure to cancel any ongoing subscription to avoid any undesired charges more information on how to do so here.
