KVM VPS · $6.49/mo (4 GB RAM, 1 vCPU, 50 GB NVMe SSD, 4000 GB transfer)
Hostinger's KVM 1 at $6.49/mo intro is competitively priced on specs, but several alternatives offer better long-term value with lower renewal penalties, more vCPUs, or higher bandwidth. OVHcloud VPS-1 and Hetzner CX23 both match or exceed your RAM and storage while including daily backups and avoiding steep renewal multipliers.
Same 4GB RAM and 2 vCPU (vs Hostinger's 1 vCPU), 40GB NVMe, daily backups included, unlimited traffic, and renewal pricing is stable without the 2-4x jump Hostinger imposes.
Caveat: IPv4 address billed separately; Windows license adds $0.039/vCore/hour if needed.
Identical intro price but 2 vCPU (double Hostinger), 4GB RAM, 40GB SSD, 20TB transfer, and no steep renewal trap; renewal pricing is only 1.3-1.4x vs Hostinger's 1.85x.
Caveat: VAT excluded from listed price; traffic overage charged per GB outside EU regions; recent price increases on other product lines.
2 vCPU, 2GB RAM, 80GB NVMe, unlimited traffic, and lower intro price; renewal is 2-6x but still cheaper than Hostinger's renewal at $11.99/mo.
Caveat: Intro pricing is a 3-month or 1-year promo on a 1-year contract; additional IPv4 addresses cost $6/month each; outbound data beyond 2TB pooled is metered.
2 vCPU, 2GB RAM, 90GB NVMe (largest storage in this tier), unlimited traffic, and $1.49/mo cheaper than Hostinger intro.
Caveat: Intro pricing is a 3-month or 1-year promo on a 1-year contract; renewal pricing jumps 2-6x; additional IPv4 and metered overage apply.
Slightly cheaper intro, but specs are weaker (1 vCPU, 2GB RAM, only 20GB storage, 5TB transfer); useful only if you need minimal resources.
Caveat: Pricing is a calculator sample, not a fixed SKU; CPU burstable overage at $0.041/hour; powered-off servers still accrue charges; SLA is 99.95% not 99.99%.
