A virtual private server (VPS) is a type of hosting that provides an isolated environment with its own software, configuration, data, and resources, including CPU, RAM, storage, and bandwidth.

Unlike a dedicated server, a VPS operates as a virtual machine running on top of a physical host using virtualization technology. It works like traditional web hosting but with full root access and a significantly higher level of isolation, which provides better flexibility and reliability.

Combining the best of both worlds, a VPS is ideal for web professionals who want a high-performance hosting solution without the hassle of managing a physical server. It also caters to a vast range of user needs, such as, but not limited to:

• Website hosting. Host different types of websites, including large online stores built on platforms like PrestaShop, Magento, or WordPress.
• Software application hosting. Use a control panel, containerization software, or a framework to deploy various applications, such as databases, analytics platforms, customer relationship management apps, and more.
• Game server. Launch a private multiplayer server for online games like Minecraft or Counter-Strike.
• Workflow automation. Deploy n8n to connect various applications and create a custom workflow for automatic data processing, all on a centralized dashboard
• Personal large language models or AI agents. Run and tune personal large language models with Ollama, or host custom ChatGPT to assist you with specific tasks.

AI-managed VPS is a new type of VPS hosting that combines full server control with real, built-in AI management. It’s a self-managed VPS enhanced with AI that can actually perform server operations for you, rather than just providing suggestions.

Powered by the Model Context Protocol (MCP), Hostinger’s AI connects directly to your VPS infrastructure and control panel. You can simply describe what you want in natural language, and the AI will help troubleshoot issues, manage Docker containers, monitor resources, configure security settings, and more – all without commands or advanced system administration knowledge.

AI-managed VPS provides the power and flexibility of a VPS, with the simplicity of AI-assisted server management, at no extra cost.

Kernel-based virtual machine (KVM) is a full virtualization solution that divides a physical server into completely independent and isolated virtual environments. We at Hostinger use this technology on all of our VPS plans.

Unlike other virtualization technologies, KVM gives you a higher level of isolation, reliability, and customizability – ideal if your development projects demand plenty of power and flexibility.

With KVM VPS hosting services, you’ll be in complete control – freely customize the OS, control panel, and software to suit your needs. While you’ll be responsible for your virtual private servers, we’ll take care of the speed, uptime, and stability of our physical servers.

With our KVM hosting, you’ll get cutting-edge HPE and Dell hardware, lightning-fast NVMe SSD storage, and the robust power of AMD EPYC processors. This winning combination ensures exceptional performance and responsiveness for your website or application.

VPS hosting is ideal for growing or complex projects, such as resource-intensive websites, web applications, gaming servers, APIs, and WordPress multisite. It provides dedicated CPU, RAM, and storage, along with complete control over your operating system and server configuration.

Unlike traditional web hosting, a VPS delivers better performance, scalability, and flexibility as your project grows.

With AI-managed VPS, you get the power of a self-managed VPS combined with AI that can handle real server tasks for you. You can use natural language to troubleshoot issues, manage Docker containers, monitor resources, and configure your server – without needing advanced system administration skills.

You should consider upgrading to a VPS when shared or managed web hosting no longer meets your needs, or when you want more control without added complexity. If it’s your first VPS, an AI-managed VPS helps simplify everyday server management while keeping you fully in control.

Yes. Our VPS web hosting is securely partitioned to ensure top-notch protection. We also use advanced DDoS counter-measures and an AI-powered firewall with an integrated server defense to safeguard our infrastructure.

Furthermore, every KVM VPS client gets a dedicated IP address. This lets you implement stronger security measures, such as setting firewall rules specific to your IP address.

Finally, you will get a malware scanner that can automatically detect and remove any malicious files.

Yes. With full root access, you can install and configure any custom software on your VPS – from resource-intensive applications and APIs to Docker environments, automation workflows, and even local AI models.

With AI-managed VPS, you keep complete control while using AI to simplify everyday server management. You can ask the AI to help troubleshoot issues, manage Docker containers, monitor resources, or adjust server settings – without manually running commands.

You can also manage your server using industry-leading control panels such as cPanel, Plesk, CyberPanel, and DirectAdmin, all supported on our VPS plans.

To get started faster, our Linux-based OS templates come preconfigured with popular software and control panels and install in just one click, providing a ready-to-use server environment in minutes.

Our KVM VPS hosting plans range from $6.49–$25.99/month:

• KVM 1 – $6.49/month
• KVM 2 – $8.99/month
• KVM 4 – $12.99/month
• KVM 8 – $25.99/month

When choosing a package, consider your needs first. For instance, the KVM 2 plan comes with two virtual CPU cores, 8 GB of RAM, and 100 GB of NVMe SSD storage – enough power to host medium-scale applications, like the n8n automation tool.

There’s no need to worry about picking the wrong VPS hosting plan. You can always start small and upgrade to higher-tier plans whenever you need more resources.

Both our VPS hosting and cloud hosting plans are suitable for resource-intensive websites that require high availability, top speed, and security.

The main difference lies in their management. As we offer managed cloud hosting services, we take care of your server security. Besides 24/7 Customer Success support, our cloud hosting comes with various features, such as automatic WordPress updates. That said, you won’t be able to play with server settings.

On the other hand, you’ll get full control over your virtual private server – this includes root access and seamless integration with your favorite tools via Hostinger API. This means you can install any operating system or additional software, configure any of the system settings, and automate repetitive tasks on your server.

You’ll need some IT knowledge to manage your server. That said, our AI assistant, Kodee, can handle many server management tasks for you.

Yes, Hostinger VPS provides a public API that lets you interact with your server effortlessly via code. Through a comprehensive set of endpoints, you can easily manage various aspects of your server without needing to access its interface.

Want to go further? Set up the Hostinger MCP server to connect AI tools like Claude or Cursor with your VPS using our public API. This integration offers a streamlined, vibe coding-style approach to system administration, allowing you to manage your server like never before.

Here are the key benefits of Hostinger’s VPS API:

• Seamless integration – expand your VPS capability with any platform you wish, whether a custom control panel or deployment tools, to build the ideal hosting infrastructure for your needs.
• Effortless automation – set up an automation workflow for repetitive tasks like backing up, and our API will handle the rest.
