What a VPS is for (according to Hostinger)
Hostinger lists web hosting, software applications, game servers, n8n automation and your own language models or AI agents. What we do with ours is host websites and applications: we tell it in VPS for developers.
Limits that are not shown
The CPU, RAM, inode and disk limits do not appear in the questions section: Hostinger points to a separate article. The resources of each plan are in the price table: 1 vCPU and 4 GB (KVM 1), 2 and 8 (KVM 2), 4 and 16 (KVM 4), 8 and 32 (KVM 8). Which plan you need is in which KVM plan to choose.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need technical knowledge?
Yes, the basics of Linux. Start with what is a VPS and the first-day checklist.
How much does it cost?
From $6.49 to $25.99 a month with the 24-month offer (US prices from hostinger.com). They rise on renewal: the real price over the full term.
Can I use n8n?
Hostinger lists n8n among its VPS application templates. We haven't installed it ourselves, so we can't tell you how it goes in practice.
