VPS Hosting

Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting divides a physical server into multiple virtual machines, granting each user dedicated resources and root access to the server. It’s excellent for web developers and designers seeking more power and control for their projects.

With VPS hosting solutions, you can install your own operating system, control panel, and software based on your needs. While you have full control over the virtual server configurations, the web host will still maintain the physical servers to guarantee speed, high uptime, and stability.

Hostinger provides unmanaged VPS services utilising Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) technology. This open-source virtualisation module for Linux enables the creation of several virtual instances within a physical server.

Linux VPS is a hosting service running on the Linux operating system (OS), with distributions like Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, and more. It’s a particularly popular hosting solution for websites, web applications, and various online services.

Linux is an open-source OS for web servers known for its high processing power, capacity, and flexibility. Users can easily access the source code to install software, configure the OS, and implement additional security measures to protect their VPS servers.

Select VPS solutions if you don’t want to share computing power with other users. Unlike regular web hosting, VPS hosting provides dedicated CPU power, RAM, and disk space. This ensures consistent performance, even when running resource-demanding projects.

In addition, virtual private servers give you complete control over the hosting environment and server settings. You can build complex websites and web apps or transform your virtual space into gaming and streaming servers.

All in all, VPS hosting is perfect for advanced users seeking more power and control.

Our KVM VPS plans are available at Rs.1,429–Rs.6,269/month:

• KVM 1 – Rs.1,429/month
• KVM 2 – Rs.1,999/month
• KVM 4 – Rs.3,139/month
• KVM 8 – Rs.6,269/month

Before selecting a hosting solution, assess your specific requirements first. For example, the KVM 2 plan provides two virtual CPU cores, 8 GB of RAM, and 100 GB of NVMe SSD storage. This configuration is well-suited for medium-sized businesses and online shops.

You can begin with a smaller plan and seamlessly upgrade to a higher-tier VPS service whenever your project demands more VPS features and resources.

Our VPS hosting blends Virtual Private Server (VPS) technology with Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) software, resulting in exceptional virtualisation capabilities.

Each virtual server is isolated from others. In other words, your resources are dedicated solely to your projects. Other notable VPS hosting features include:

• The latest kernels to maximise server performance.
• VPS software to enhance security and privacy for your connections.
• Docker and Kubernetes containers to deploy complex applications.
• IPv4 and IPv6 network interface parameters adjustable to your needs.

Hostinger's KVM hosting is equipped with AMD EPYC processors running on HPE and DELL hardware. This perfect combination ensures exceptional performance and responsiveness. We also use NVMe SSD storage to deliver fast data access and loading times.

Both are dedicated hosting services, but they allocate resources in a distinct manner.

In VPS hosting, multiple instances or virtual servers exist on a single physical server. It strikes a balance between resources and cost, making it suitable for medium-to-large projects.

In contrast, a virtual dedicated server (VDS) occupies the entire server, reserving all server resources to a single user or client. It’s typically more expensive than VPS.

The level of assistance you get depends on your chosen VPS hosting provider and type of service. Some hosting providers offer fully-managed hosting, while other VPS hosts – like Hostinger – provide unmanaged solutions.

With our self-managed VPS hosting, you’re fully responsible for configuring and managing your virtual server. While this gives you greater control and flexibility over your server environment, it also requires some technical expertise.

Luckily, we provide a user-friendly dashboard with pre-made templates to simplify server management. Our AI Assistant is also ready 24/7 to answer VPS-related questions and guide you through various tasks. As for self-help, check out Hostinger Tutorials for in-depth guides on website and server management.

Yes, each VPS is isolated from others, minimising the risk of interference or unauthorised access. We also employ an AI-powered firewall and advanced DDoS countermeasures to keep malicious bots and hackers at bay.

Moreover, our VPS plans come with a dedicated IP address. This allows you to implement stronger security measures tailored to your specific needs.

Absolutely. VPS is an excellent choice for hosting WordPress websites. Offering more resources than regular web hosting, VPS hosting will keep your WordPress site running smoothly even during traffic spikes.

If you don’t possess the technical know-how, we offer WordPress VPS templates based on the OpenLiteSpeed server. They come with a pre-configured operating system, web framework, and security settings, making the server setup fast and effortless.

In short, yes. Whether setting up a virtual private network (VPN), hosting a website, managing email services, or running a game server, you can install custom software and transform your VPS environment accordingly.

Hostinger’s VPS hosting also comes with industry-leading control panels such as cPanel, Plesk, and DirectAdmin. They streamline the management of your own virtual server – easily monitor server performance, manage resources, and run different applications.

When your online project has outgrown the resource limitations of shared hosting, it's a sign that you should upgrade to a VPS solution.

Before migrating, make sure you’re comfortable with tasks like server monitoring, software installation, and security management. If you're not, you can check out our tutorial on how to host a website on VPS.
