Kali Linux VPS FAQs
What is Kali Linux hosting?
Kali Linux is a free and open-source operating system, specifically designed for penetration testing, ethical hacking, and security research. The biggest advantage of choosing the Kali Linux distribution is getting essential tools for your network analysis, vulnerability assessments, and other cyber security tasks.
Meanwhile, Kali Linux hosting refers to installing the operating system on your web host’s server. For this, we offer VPS hosting services so that you can get full root access to your VPS, scalable server resources, and built-in security measures, like automatic backups and a manual snapshot.
How to install Kali Linux on a VPS?
First, you have to secure a VPS hosting plan. We recommend beginning with our most popular plan – KVM 2. Starting at A$ 13.89/month, it offers dual-core processor, 8 GB of RAM, 100 GB of NVMe SSD disk space, and 8 TB bandwidth. If anything, you can update your dedicated resources effortlessly anytime with just a few clicks.
Once you have secured your plan, simply select the Kali Linux operating system during your onboarding, and it will be pre-installed on your server. Alternatively, install Kali Linux manually using the Terminal browser.
For more detailed instructions, follow our tutorial on how to install Kali Linux.
Can I install additional tools on my Kali Linux VPS?
Yes. Even though Kali Linux comes with over 600 tools for penetration testing and security audits, you are free to install other tools that you want. In fact, you can customize your Kali Linux server configuration for your cyber security projects as you want – thanks to full root access.
How to recover data using Kali Linux?
As all of our Kali Linux VPS hosting plans come with free automatic weekly backups, you just have to open your hPanel, navigate to the VPS dashboard, select Backups & Monitoring → Snapshots & Backups, and restore your VPS from the backup.
For more information, follow our short step-by-step guide on how to restore your VPS backup.
We also recommend taking full server snapshots before making any major changes to avoid having to restore a backup.
Can I migrate my existing server to Hostinger?
