Hostinger VPS tutorials

These are the Hostinger VPS tutorials I would hand to anyone getting their first server, in the order I would want them read. Start with a clean Ubuntu 24.04 machine, make it safe before it does anything public, ship one app, then automate the boring parts. Every guide runs on the entry KVM 1 plan, and each one assumes the steps before it are done.

Read them in this order

1. STAGE 01

   Before you buy

   Not sure a VPS is the right call, or which provider? Read the honest review and the price comparisons first, then claim the coupon on the plan you actually need.

   • Hostinger VPS coupon: extra 20% off KVM 1 through KVM 8
2. STAGE 02

   First server

   Do these once on every new VPS, before any app goes on it. Point the domain so certificates can be issued, then close the doors bots try within minutes of boot.

3. STAGE 03

   Ship an app

   Pick the guide for your stack. If you run several projects, the multi-site guide shows how to share one server; if you want a dashboard instead of config files, use Coolify.
