Hostinger VPS Pricing 2026: All Plans, Hidden Costs & Best Value

Hostinger offers four VPS tiers, all using KVM virtualization with NVMe SSD storage:

• KVM 1: $4.99/mo — 1 vCPU, 4GB RAM, 50GB NVMe, 1TB transfer
• KVM 2: $6.99/mo — 2 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 100GB NVMe, 2TB transfer
• KVM 4: $12.99/mo — 4 vCPU, 16GB RAM, 200GB NVMe, 4TB transfer
• KVM 8: $77.99/mo — 8 vCPU, 32GB RAM, 400GB NVMe, 8TB transfer

All plans include: dedicated IPv4, full root access, 1Gbps network, weekly backups, choice of 8 data centers, and the visual VPS management panel.

Hostinger's VPS pricing is straightforward, but there are add-ons to consider:

• Daily backups: Not included — weekly backups are free, daily backups cost extra (~$2/mo)
• Additional IPv4: Extra IPs cost ~$3/mo each
• Control panels: cPanel/WHM or Plesk licenses cost $15-45/mo. Use free alternatives like Webmin or HestiaCP instead.
• Bandwidth overage: Exceeding your transfer limit may result in throttling (not billing)
• No hourly billing: Even if you cancel day 2, you pay the full month

That said, the base prices are honest — no introductory bait-and-switch like shared hosting. The $4.99/mo price is what you pay month after month.

For most users: KVM 2 ($6.99/mo)

The jump from KVM 1 to KVM 2 costs just $2/mo but doubles your RAM (4→8GB), doubles your storage (50→100GB), adds a vCPU, and doubles bandwidth. That's the biggest value jump in the lineup.

For AI self-hosting: KVM 1 ($4.99/mo)

If you're running a single AI agent, Discord bot, or Docker container, 4GB RAM is sufficient. Start here and upgrade only if you hit limits.

For production workloads: KVM 4 ($12.99/mo)

4 vCPU and 16GB RAM handles serious workloads — multiple Docker containers, databases, and high-traffic sites simultaneously.

What you get for ~$5-7/mo across providers:

• Hostinger KVM 1 ($4.99): 1 vCPU, 4GB RAM, 50GB NVMe
• DigitalOcean ($6): 1 vCPU, 1GB RAM, 25GB SSD
• Vultr ($6): 1 vCPU, 1GB RAM, 25GB SSD
• Hetzner CX22 ($4.15): 2 vCPU, 4GB RAM, 40GB SSD
• Contabo ($6.99): 4 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 50GB SSD

Hostinger offers 4x the RAM of DigitalOcean and Vultr at a lower price. Only Contabo offers more specs, but with significantly slower I/O and less reliable support.
