VPS Hosting

Virtual Private Server (VPS) is a hosting solution that uses virtualisation technology to segment a physical server into multiple virtual machines (VMs). Each VPS runs its own operating system and has its own dedicated resources, including CPU, RAM, storage, and bandwidth. Therefore, customers can get dedicated resources and full root access.

Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) is an open-source virtualisation solution designed for Linux that enables VPS to act as a completely independent server. This technology makes more resources available, provides greater isolation, and increases customisability.

Hostinger offers self-managed VPS services using the KVM technology. With KVM VPS hosting services, you’ll be able to freely customise the OS, control panel, and software to match your needs. While you’re responsible for your virtual private servers, the web host will take care of physical servers to ensure speed, high uptime, and stability.

Linux VPS is a hosting environment that operates on Linux operating systems such as Ubuntu and Centos. Linux is widely known as the OS for web servers, offering an array of developer-created features and functions.

Being an open-source OS, Linux provides full root access to its source code for vulnerability fixes, ensuring top-notch security. Moreover, it offers enhanced processing power and capacity, resulting in faster load times and an improved user experience.

VPS services are excellent for tech-savvy users. With full root access, virtual private servers are perfect for creating complex projects such as resource-intensive websites, web apps, online gaming servers, and WordPress multisite. Unlike shared hosting, you don’t need to share CPU power, RAM, or disk space with other users.

Installing your own operating system and configuring a custom server environment to suit your requirements is now possible. Given its open-source nature, opting for a Linux VPS provides additional features and control.

When weighing options between virtual and dedicated servers, opting for more affordable VPS hosting enables you to redirect a larger portion of your budget towards development and marketing efforts, all while ensuring flexibility and durability of your hosting solution.

With the combination of Virtual Private Server (VPS) technology with Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) software, our virtual machine hosting offers unmatched virtualisation capabilities.

This advanced server setup provides improved resource capacity, virtual space isolation, and customisable server options. With Hostinger's VM hosting, you’ll be able to:

• Utilise cutting-edge kernels for top-notch performance.
• Install VPN software for secured connections.
• Simplify deployment with application containers like Docker and Kubernetes.

Hostinger KVM hosting leverages state-of-the-art HPE and DELL hardware, robust NVMe SSD storage, and advanced AMD EPYC processors. This powerful combination guarantees outstanding performance and responsiveness for your website or application.

Both are dedicated hosting services, but they allocate the server resources differently.

A VPS is one of several instances on a single physical server, while a virtual dedicated server (VDS) occupies the entire dedicated server.

VPS hosting provides an ideal balance between price and performance for medium-to-large projects. With ample resources and control, it offers a cost-effective alternative to VDS.

The support depends on the VPS hosting provider and service type, that is, whether you will be using self or fully-managed VPS hosting. As we offer self-managed VPS plans, you’ll be fully responsible for configuring and managing the virtual server.

Although our dashboard and templates make server management user-friendly, using the complete capabilities of our VPS hosting requires technical expertise. On the bright side, this grants you the freedom and flexibility to customise it according to your preferences.
