A virtual private server is a hosting type that provides an isolated environment with its own software, configuration, data and resources (CPU, RAM, storage and bandwidth). A VPS runs as a virtual machine on a physical host using virtualization, working like traditional web hosting but with full root access and much stronger isolation. Common uses: hosting websites and large online stores (PrestaShop, Magento, WordPress), hosting software applications, running game servers, workflow automation (for example n8n) and self-hosted large language models or AI agents. ### What is KVM, and what are its benefits? Kernel-based virtual machine (KVM) is a full virtualization solution that splits a physical server into completely independent, isolated virtual environments. Hostinger uses KVM on all VPS plans. It offers higher isolation, reliability and customizability than container-based virtualization: customers control the operating system, control panel and software, while Hostinger maintains the speed, uptime and stability of the physical hardware (HPE and Dell servers, NVMe SSD storage, AMD EPYC processors). ### When should I upgrade to a VPS? A VPS suits resource-intensive websites, web applications, game servers and WordPress multisite installations, and allows installing a custom operating system with dedicated CPU, RAM and disk resources. Upgrading makes sense once a managed web hosting plan no longer meets the project's needs and the customer is comfortable managing a server. Existing plans can be upgraded from the Hostinger account. ### Are KVM-based virtual private servers safe? Yes. VPS hosting is securely partitioned, and Hostinger applies DDoS counter-measures and an AI-powered firewall with integrated server defense. Every KVM VPS includes a dedicated IP address, allowing IP-specific firewall rules, plus a malware scanner that detects and removes malicious files. ### Can I install custom software on my VPS? Yes. Full root access allows installing and configuring any software — resource-intensive applications, APIs, Docker environments, automation workflows and local AI models. Hostinger Agent can perform many of these management tasks from natural-language prompts. Linux OS templates come preconfigured with popular software and control panels for one-click setup. ### How do I choose the right VPS plan? Plans range from KVM 1 to KVM 8. KVM 2 (2 vCPU cores, 8 GB RAM, 100 GB NVMe SSD) is enough for medium-scale applications such as the n8n automation tool. Customers can start with a smaller plan and upgrade whenever more resources are needed. ### How do I get started with VPS hosting? An onboarding flow helps choose a pre-installed operating system and software. The "Getting started with VPS hosting" and "I bought a VPS, now what?" tutorials cover the first steps. ### What operating systems are supported? A wide range of Linux distributions, optionally bundled with a control panel or an application. The full, current list is published in the Hostinger support article on available VPS operating systems. ### Will I get assistance with my VPS? Yes. Although VPS hosting is self-managed, Hostinger provides AI assistance through Hostinger Agent, a control panel with pre-made templates, tutorials and video courses, and a 24/7 Customer Success team for non-technical questions. ### What is the difference between VPS hosting and cloud hosting? Both suit resource-intensive websites that need availability, speed and security. Managed cloud hosting handles server security and maintenance (including automatic WordPress updates) but does not allow changing server settings. VPS hosting gives root access, API integration, freedom to install any operating system or software, and full configuration control, in exchange for requiring more technical knowledge. ### Does Hostinger VPS have a public API? Yes. The public API exposes a comprehensive set of endpoints for managing servers programmatically, and a Hostinger MCP server connects AI tools (for example Claude or Cursor) to that API. The public API is available on all VPS plans and is configured in hPanel. Documentation: . ## Other machine-readable pages - Web hosting:
