The short answer
- 01WEBHOST2026 takes an extra 20% off new Hostinger KVM VPS orders, from KVM 1 to KVM 8.
- 02KVM 2 (2 vCPU, 8 GB RAM) is $7.99/mo on a 24-month term, about $6.39/mo with the coupon.
- 03Size a VPS by RAM, because memory runs out before CPU; KVM 2 comfortably runs an app, a database and a reverse proxy.
- 04Hostinger VPS is unmanaged: you get full root access and you run the operating system yourself.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| KVM 1 | 1 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 50 GB NVMe | $5.99/mo | $4.79/mo | $114.96 | One small app or API |
| KVM 2 | 2 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 100 GB NVMe | $7.99/mo | $6.39/mo | $153.36 | App plus database; the default pick |
| KVM 4 | 4 vCPU, 16 GB RAM, 200 GB NVMe | $13.99/mo | $11.19/mo | $268.56 | Several apps, Docker builds on the box |
| KVM 8 | 8 vCPU, 32 GB RAM, 400 GB NVMe | $26.99/mo | $21.59/mo | $518.16 | High-traffic production |
Sizing: pick by RAM
On a small server, memory is what runs out first. CPU spikes are brief; a full RAM budget means swapping, and swapping means a slow site. So size by RAM and treat CPU as a secondary check.
Node or Next.js, a database and a reverse proxy fit comfortably in KVM 2's 8 GB. KVM 1 is fine for one lightweight service such as a small API. Go to KVM 4 if you build Docker images on the server or run several apps side by side. KVM 8 is for real production traffic.
You can upgrade from hPanel later without reinstalling, and downgrades are more limited. That asymmetry is the argument for starting one size small.
24 or 48 months for a server?
On paper 48 months is cheaper: KVM 2 lists at $6.99/mo on 48 against $7.99/mo on 24. But a server's requirements change faster than a blog's. Two years in, you may want a different size, a different region or a different architecture.
That's why I default to 24 months for a VPS. You get most of the term discount, the up-front bill is about half ($153.36 with the code), and the end of the term is a natural point to resize. The cart I've seen offers VPS on 12 and 24 months anyway, so check what yours shows.
What comes with every plan
The resources change between plans; the platform doesn't:
- Full root access and a choice of Linux templates, including ones with Docker preinstalled.
- Dedicated KVM resources and NVMe storage, not shared with other customers.
- A dedicated IPv4 address and DDoS protection.
- Kodee, Hostinger's built-in AI assistant, for commands and troubleshooting.
- Snapshots and weekly backups.
Is a VPS the right product?
A Hostinger VPS is unmanaged. The operating system, updates, firewall and software are your job, with Kodee and support to help. If you want dedicated resources without any server work, cloud hosting is the managed alternative; which Hostinger plan walks through that choice.
After you buy
Lock the server down before you deploy anything. Then put your app on it. These cover the whole path from a blank server to HTTPS:
- Secure a new VPS: the first-hour checklist.
- Deploy a Next.js app on Hostinger VPS.
- Host a MERN stack app cheaply.
- Hostinger VPS vs DigitalOcean, if you're still deciding.
Questions people ask
Does the Hostinger coupon work on VPS plans?
Yes. WEBHOST2026 applies to new KVM 1, KVM 2, KVM 4 and KVM 8 orders on the terms the cart offers.
Can I upgrade a Hostinger VPS later?
Yes. Upgrades are done from hPanel and keep your data. Downgrades are more limited, which is a good reason to start small.
Is a Hostinger VPS managed?
No. You manage the operating system and software yourself, with help from Kodee and support. Cloud hosting is the managed option.
Which KVM plan should I buy for a Node.js app?
KVM 2 for most apps. Its 8 GB of RAM fits the app, a database and a reverse proxy; KVM 1 suits a single lightweight service.
Independent site, not Hostinger. Buy through my links and Hostinger pays me a referral fee; your price is the same or lower. How that works.
