VPS hosting

A virtual private server (VPS) virtualizes an entire machine: its own kernel, network card, disk, and graphics adapter. It runs its own operating system and has its own dedicated resources, including CPU, RAM, storage, and bandwidth.

Hostinger offers self-managed VPS services with kernel-based virtual machine (KVM) technology. KVM is a full virtualization solution that turns your VPS into a completely independent server. This gives you more resources, provides more isolation, and increases customizability. It is a perfect option for web professionals who need flexibility and power for their projects.

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

With our KVM hosting, you’ll also 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.

Virtual private servers are ideal for building complex projects like resource-intensive websites, web apps, online gaming servers, and WordPress multisite. You can install your own operating system and set up a perfect server environment tailored to your needs.

Unlike traditional web hosting, you will get dedicated resources, such as CPU power, RAM, or disk space.

Consider upgrading to VPS solutions once your managed web hosting no longer meets your requirements and you know how to manage a virtual server. If it's your first time upgrading to a VPS platform, check out our tutorial on how to host a website on VPS to understand all the basics.

As our VPS solutions are self-managed, you will get full freedom to configure and manage the virtual server. To make server management and configuration easier, we provide:

• User-friendly dashboard with pre-made templates.

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 will get full control over your virtual private server. This means you can install any operating system and additional software as well as configure the settings. However, you need to have some IT knowledge to manage the server.
