To test your VPS network speed at Hostinger, install the official Speedtest CLI by Ookla on your VPS and run the speedtest command. The tool measures ping (latency), download speed, and upload speed directly from your server.
We recommend using the official Speedtest CLI instead of the older speedtest-cli Python script for more accurate and up-to-date results.
Install the official Speedtest CLI
Connect to your VPS via SSH or web console.
On Ubuntu / Debian:
curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/ookla/speedtest-cli/script.deb.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install speedtest -yOn AlmaLinux / CentOS / RHEL
curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/ookla/speedtest-cli/script.rpm.sh | sudo bash
sudo dnf install speedtest -yIf prompted, accept the license agreement.
Run the Speedtest
After installation, run:
speedtestThe tool will automatically select the closest server and display:
- Ping (latency)
- Download speed
- Upload speed
See How to check VPS resources usage at Hostinger for other details about checking CPU, RAM, disk, and traffic usage in the dashboard.
Your VPS network speed results now show ping, download, and upload speed from your server.
NOTES
- Speed test results may vary depending on server load and routing.
- Your VPS plan bandwidth limits still apply.
- For more reliable results, run multiple tests at different times.
