Ubuntu VPS hosting

Ubuntu VPS is a virtual private server hosting that runs on Ubuntu. Built on the Linux operating system, this open-source OS is popular among beginners and developers, powering over 40 million users worldwide.

At Hostinger, we use KVM virtualization technology, making our Ubuntu VPS suitable for hosting high-traffic websites, email systems, applications, databases, and online projects that require more server resources.

It depends on your chosen hosting provider. At Hostinger, we offer powerful KVM VPS hosting plans with affordable prices:

• KVM 1 starting at ₹399.00/month
• KVM 2 starting at ₹549.00/month
• KVM 4 starting at ₹749.00/month
• KVM 8 starting at ₹1,499.00/month

Simply choose one that meets your needs and budget best. But no need to stress over it – we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee to ensure your investment is risk-free.

Our best-selling package, KVM 2, provides 2 vCPU cores, 8 GB of RAM, and 100 GB of NVMe SSD storage – perfect for medium-sized websites and apps.

Each plan also comes with weekly backups and a real-time snapshot to keep your data secure.

Once your project grows, you can easily scale to a higher plan via our VPS control panel.

First things first, you need to purchase one of our VPS hosting plans. After that, access your hPanel account and head to VPS at the top menu. Then, select your VPS plan and navigate to OS & Panel → Operating System.

Locate the Change Your Operating System section, select Applications, and install your preferred Ubuntu template. You can find the full list on our VPS operating system support page.

Yes. Ubuntu is easy to use and compatible with most programming languages, from Python to PHP. Combined with our KVM virtual server technology, you get a powerful and secure server environment suitable for resource-demanding projects.

We also offer other Linux distributions for VPS web hosting, including CentOS, Debian, and Rocky Linux – whatever you prefer.

After buying our Ubuntu hosting plan, install one of the available Ubuntu templates and connect to your VPS via a Secure Shell (SSH) client. Find your SSH details by accessing hPanel → VPS, choosing your server, and navigating to Overview → SSH Access.

Alternatively, you can use our Browser Terminal located on the VPS → Overview page. Log in to your server using the root user account and password you’ve set during onboarding. Once successful, start managing the web server.
