Hostinger VPS review
Hostinger is one of the best value VPS choices when you want KVM isolation, NVMe storage, root access, hPanel guidance, and included backups without jumping straight into a full developer cloud. Main tradeoff: Renewal prices are materially higher than first-term promo prices.

Editor-selected alternatives
What to compare before choosing Hostinger
These providers are selected for a relevant tradeoff—not because they have similar traffic.
01
Hetzner
4.3/5 From $5.59/mo Primary alternative
Hetzner is the more technical cloud-style choice, with many more instance families in our data and a lower $5.59/mo entry price. Hostinger is the easier guided VPS choice, with hPanel, Kodee, included weekly backups and snapshots, and a simpler four-plan ladder. Pick Hetzner if you want raw cloud control; pick Hostinger if onboarding and management help are part of the value.
02
Contabo
4.7/5 From $4.32/mo
Contabo is the stronger pure-resource bargain in our current dataset: it starts at $4.32/mo and reaches $0.49/GB RAM. Hostinger costs more for raw RAM but gives a cleaner beginner experience, hPanel, Kodee, weekly backups, snapshots, and a more approachable product shape. Choose Contabo when density matters most; choose Hostinger when usability and support surface matter too.
Frequently asked questions
-
Hostinger VPS plans start at $6.49/mo (USD-normalized). It lists 4 plans.
-
Hostinger offers VPS in 8 locations: France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Lithuania, Malaysia, United Kingdom, United States.
-
Yes, Hostinger is a good VPS choice for buyers who want low first-term pricing, KVM virtualization, NVMe storage, root access, hPanel guidance, snapshots, backups, and AI-assisted management. It is weaker for buyers who need managed sysadmin support or stable renewal pricing.
-
Treat it as self-managed. Hostinger supports hardware, network, and hPanel functionality, while server-side software configuration and advanced troubleshooting remain your responsibility, with Kodee and docs available as guidance.
-
KVM 2 is the safest default for many real projects because our data shows 2 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 100 GB NVMe storage, and 8 TB/mo bandwidth at $8.99/mo. Use KVM 1 for lightweight projects and KVM 4 for heavier multi-service workloads.
-
No. Our live data tracks first-term prices from $6.49/mo to $25.99/mo, while Hostinger's public VPS page lists higher two-year renewal rates from $11.99/mo to $49.99/mo. Budget with renewal in mind.
-
Not as a simple move. Hostinger says VPS location is fixed after setup; changing data centers requires reinstalling the VPS, which can delete current data, backups, and snapshots unless you export what you need first.
