VPS Hosting

Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting is a perfect option for web professionals who need flexibility and power for their projects. It divides a physical server into several virtual machines, powering each user with dedicated resources and root access to the server.

With virtual private servers, you’ll be in complete control – freely customize the operating system, control panel, and software to match your needs. While you’re responsible for the virtual server, the web host will take care of physical servers to ensure speed, high uptime, and stability.

Hostinger offers unmanaged VPS services using the Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) technology. It’s an open-source virtualization module for Linux that helps create many separate, secure virtual servers inside a physical server.

Linux VPS is a hosting solution that runs on the Linux operating system (OS), including Ubuntu and Centos. Linux is the most popular OS for web servers, with plenty of developer-made features and functions.

As an open-source OS, Linux enables users to access the source code and repair its vulnerabilities, ensuring the highest level of security. This OS also provides more processing power and capacity, which means a faster load time and a better user experience.

Virtual private servers are ideal for building complex projects like resource-intensive websites, web apps, online gaming servers, and WordPress multisite. Unlike web hosting, you don’t share CPU power, RAM, or disk space with other users.

You can install your own operating system and set up a perfect server environment tailored to your needs. Renting a Linux VPS grants you even more features and control since it’s an open-source operating system.

For these reasons, VPS hosting is an ideal choice for tech-savvy users.

Our KVM VPS hosting plans range from RM 27.99–RM 99.99/month:

• KVM 1 – RM 27.99/month
• KVM 2 – RM 35.99/month
• KVM 4 – RM 49.99/month
• KVM 8 – RM 99.99/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 for small to medium businesses and eCommerce stores.

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.

Our VPS hosting combines Virtual Private Server (VPS) technology with Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) software for unbeatable virtualization capabilities.

This advanced setup offers enhanced resource availability, virtual space isolation, and server customizability. With Hostinger's KVM hosting, you can:

• Use the latest kernels for optimal performance.
• Install VPN software to secure your connections.
• Enable application containers like Docker and Kubernetes for efficient deployment.
• Adjust network interface parameters, both IPv4 and IPv6, to suit your specific needs.

Hostinger's KVM hosting harnesses cutting-edge HPE and DELL hardware, powerful NVMe SSD storage, and AMD EPYC processors. This combination ensures exceptional performance and responsiveness for your website or application.

While both are dedicated hosting services, they offer reserved server resources differently.

A VPS is one of the multiple instances on a single physical server. Meanwhile, a VDS (virtual dedicated server) takes up the entirety of the dedicated server.

VPS hosting is the perfect price-to-performance option for medium-to-large projects. Besides offering plenty of resources and control, it is more affordable than a VDS.

It depends on your VPS hosting provider and services – whether self or fully-managed VPS hosting. As our Linux VPS solutions are self-managed, you’re fully responsible for configuring and managing the virtual server.

Although we provide a user-friendly dashboard with pre-made templates that simplifies server management, you still need technical expertise to take full advantage of our VPS hosting features. On the bright side, this gives you the freedom and flexibility to run it as you like.
