Hostinger

Platform

Products

name: KVM VPS; category: self_managed_full_root_kvm_virtual_machine; service model: Self-managed Linux VM with full root access, hPanel lifecycle controls, browser terminal, provider OS/application templates, Docker Manager and Kodee assistance. Hostinger operates the physical infrastructure; the customer remains responsible for the guest OS and applications.; hardware: AMD EPYC processors, NVMe storage, a 1 Gbit/s advertised network port and KVM full virtualization. The public plan does not promise an exact EPYC generation or host model.; plans: name: KVM 1; vcpu: 1; memory gib: 4; storage gb: 50; storage type: NVMe; transfer tb: 4; regular one month usd: 19.49; one month initial promotion usd: 9.99; regular twelve month renewal monthly usd: 12.99; twelve month initial promotion monthly usd: 6.99; regular twenty four month renewal monthly usd: 11.99; twenty four month initial promotion monthly usd: 6.49, name: KVM 2; vcpu: 2; memory gib: 8; storage gb: 100; storage type: NVMe; transfer tb: 8; regular one month usd: 24.49; one month initial promotion usd: 13.99; regular twelve month renewal monthly usd: 16.99; twelve month initial promotion monthly usd: 9.99; regular twenty four month renewal monthly usd: 14.99; twenty four month initial promotion monthly usd: 8.79, name: KVM 4; vcpu: 4; memory gib: 16; storage gb: 200; storage type: NVMe; transfer tb: 16; regular one month usd: 42.99; one month initial promotion usd: 25.99; regular twelve month renewal monthly usd: 30.99; twelve month initial promotion monthly usd: 14.99; regular twenty four month renewal monthly usd: 28.99; twenty four month initial promotion monthly usd: 12.99, name: KVM 8; vcpu: 8; memory gib: 32; storage gb: 400; storage type: NVMe; transfer tb: 32; regular one month usd: 73.99; one month initial promotion usd: 50.99; regular twelve month renewal monthly usd: 53.99; twelve month initial promotion monthly usd: 28.49; regular twenty four month renewal monthly usd: 49.99; twenty four month initial promotion monthly usd: 25.99; billing boundary: The live selector offers one-, twelve- and twenty-four-month terms paid in advance. The displayed monthly figure is total term price divided by months. Directory benchmarks use the non-promotional regular renewal price of the selectable one-month term, because it is a directly orderable no-commitment monthly price and outranks term commitments. All first-term promotions are retained above but excluded from comparison.; location boundary: The current product-specific location matrix controls: France, Germany, Lithuania, United Kingdom, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Phoenix, Boston and Brazil. Only EU-member-state and sovereign-Americas regions are retained. The same four plan sizes are marketed for every retained region, subject to capacity in hPanel at setup.

Operating systems

plain linux templates: AlmaLinux 8, AlmaLinux 9, AlmaLinux 10, Alpine Linux, Fedora Cloud 42, CentOS Stream 9, CentOS Stream 10, CloudLinux 8, CloudLinux 8 Solo, CloudLinux 9, Debian 11, Debian 12, Kali Linux, openSUSE Leap 15.6, Rocky Linux 8, Rocky Linux 9, Rocky Linux 10, Ubuntu 22.04, Ubuntu 24.04, Ubuntu 25.04; licensed boundary: CloudLinux and commercial control-panel templates can require a separate vendor license.; architecture: Current templates are 64-bit.; custom image: not_applicable — customer ISO or custom OS-image upload is explicitly unsupported.; windows catalog: not_found; reinstall boundary: Changing or reinstalling the template erases the current guest data and its manual snapshot; customers must back up first.

Virtualization

hypervisor: KVM; platform: Full virtual machine with its own kernel, virtual network adapter, disk and root-controlled Linux guest.; nested virtualization: not_applicable — Hostinger explicitly disables and does not support nested virtualization on its VPS plans.; custom os media: not_applicable — Hostinger explicitly does not permit customers to upload or install their own OS images.

CPU isolation

directory classification: shared; marketing boundary: Hostinger describes KVM resources as dedicated or separate, but its current CPU-steal documentation says the hypervisor redistributes CPU time among multiple VPS instances on the same physical server and treats contention as normal. The directory therefore does not classify the advertised vCPU count as dedicated or guaranteed physical cores.; contention signal: CPU steal of 1% to 10% is described as normal; nodes are automatically rebalanced daily.; sustained use policy: When high CPU use persists for more than 180 minutes, Hostinger may reduce available capacity by 25% each hour. A customer can reset the limit once per week; capacity is restored after use normalizes.; processor: AMD EPYC family; exact model and generation are not guaranteed in the current public plan catalog.

Features

• App installation methods: OS/application templates selected during setup or reinstall, Docker Manager one-click catalog, Docker Compose entered manually or imported by URL, Full-root manual installation, Post-install scripts through the public API; control panel templates: CyberPanel, cPanel, DirectAdmin, Plesk, Webmin, Webuzo, CloudPanel, HestiaCP, FASTPANEL, TinyCP; application template examples: Akaunting, Anaconda, Appwrite, ASP.NET, Bluesky, Chatwoot, Cloudron, ClusterControl, Coolify, Debian FreePBX, Debian MediaWiki, Django with OpenLiteSpeed, Docker, Dokku, Dokploy, Discourse, Easypanel, Flowise, Ghost, GitLab, Grafana, Home Assistant, Jellyfin, Jitsi Meet, Joomla with OpenLiteSpeed, KubeSphere, LAMP, Laravel, LEMP, Magento 2, MEAN, MERN, MEVN, Moodle, n8n, Nextcloud, Node.js with OpenLiteSpeed, Odoo, Ollama, OpenCart, OpenVPN, Owncast, Peppermint, Plex, PocketBase, Portainer, PrestaShop, Rails with OpenLiteSpeed, Redmine, Rocket.Chat, ServerAvatar Lite, Strapi, Supabase, TYPO3, Uptime Kuma, VS Code, Windmill, WooCommerce, WordPress, WordPress with OpenLiteSpeed, Zabbix; docker catalog: The current Docker Manager catalog organizes hundreds of self-hosted applications across AI/ML, analytics, automation, CMS, communication, databases, developer tools, ecommerce, finance, home, infrastructure, media, observability, productivity, security and storage categories.; management boundary: Templates and AI guidance simplify deployment but do not convert the VPS into a provider-managed guest; application maintenance remains the customer's responsibility.
  ✓
• Templates & images provider templates: Current Linux, control-panel and application templates; customer ISO upload is explicitly unavailable.; automatic backup: Weekly automatic VPS backups are enabled by default and can be disabled or restored from hPanel.; manual snapshot: One manual snapshot per VPS. Creating another overwrites it; it expires automatically after 20 days. Reinstalling the OS or restoring a backup removes it.; api: The public API lists templates and supports backups, backup restore, snapshot create/get/restore/delete, VM recreate and post-install scripts.
  ✓
• Network orchestration public connectivity: One dedicated public IP address per VPS, IPv4 and IPv6 controls, an advertised 1 Gbit/s port and plan-specific monthly transfer. Additional IPv4 or IPv6 addresses cannot currently be purchased or attached to the same VPS.; reverse dns: Self-service PTR records for the VPS IPv4 or IPv6 address.; ddos: Infrastructure DDoS protection is advertised separately from the managed firewall; Hostinger states that the firewall itself is not a substitute for volumetric DDoS protection.; private networking: not_found; floating or moveable ip: not_found; bandwidth policy: After the included monthly transfer is exhausted, service remains online but is throttled to 10 Mbit/s until the next monthly reset.; automation: hPanel plus a public bearer-token REST API. Current API operations include data centers, VM purchase/setup/details and power lifecycle, metrics, recovery, credentials, hostnames, SSH keys, post-install scripts, backups/snapshots, firewall groups/rules, PTR, nameservers, Monarx scanning and Docker projects/containers.; location change: A VPS location is fixed after initial setup; Hostinger documents backup and reinstall into another currently available region as the alternative. Availability remains capacity-dependent in hPanel.
  ✓
• Firewall type: Provider-managed cloud firewall evaluated before inbound traffic reaches the guest.; controls: Reusable firewall groups, accept/reject/drop actions, TCP/UDP ports or ranges, common applications, anywhere or custom sources, IPv4 and IPv6 filtering, and attach/detach across multiple VPS instances.; default policy: An activated empty ruleset blocks all traffic; customers add explicit accept rules. Existing connections are not interrupted by rule changes, and updates are documented to apply within two minutes.; protocol boundary: The cloud firewall covers ICMP, TCP, UDP and GRE but the guest OS firewall remains necessary for finer-grained handling.; api: Public endpoints create/list/delete firewalls, create/update/delete rules, activate/deactivate and synchronize a firewall with a VM.
  ✓
• Load balancer
  —
• DNS management vps dns manager: For externally registered domains, hPanel's VPS DNS Manager adds the domain and assigns Hostinger nameservers; domains registered at Hostinger use the account's domain DNS controls.; forward dns: Hostinger-managed zones support record retrieval/update/delete/reset/validation and DNS snapshot list/get/restore through the public DNS API.; reverse dns: PTR creation and deletion for a VPS IPv4 or IPv6 address is available in hPanel and the VPS API.; guest resolvers: hPanel can replace the two DNS resolvers written to the guest's resolv.conf.; custom authoritative nameserver boundary: Running custom authoritative nameservers requires customer configuration inside the VPS.
  ✓
• Git integrations docker manager: Compose from URL accepts GitHub, GitLab or another public URL to a docker-compose.yml file.; github actions: Hostinger publishes a Deploy to Hostinger VPS GitHub Action using a Hostinger API key and VM ID; a GitHub personal access token is optional for private repositories.; boundary: The Compose URL flow imports a file rather than linking an account for continuous synchronization. GitHub Actions provides CI/CD, while no comparable first-party Bitbucket integration was found.

• Container registry
