KVM VPS · $12.99/mo (16 GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 200 GB NVMe SSD, 16000 GB transfer)
Hostinger's KVM 4 at $12.99/mo intro is competitively priced on specs, but the renewal jump to $28.99/mo is severe. Several alternatives offer better long-term value with lower renewal penalties and comparable or superior hardware, especially if you prioritize stability over the lowest first-month cost.
Matches your 4 vCPU and 200GB NVMe at $8.36/mo intro with unmetered bandwidth and includes a $60 Amazon gift card, plus 99.99% SLA vs Hostinger's implied 99.9%.
Caveat: Renewal pricing also increases steeply (to $9.99-$15.99/mo range), and requires 36-month term for lowest intro price; free domain only first year.
Delivers 4 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 75GB NVMe at $8.50/mo with daily backups (vs Hostinger's weekly), 1 Gbps bandwidth, and 99.99% SLA; pricing is more stable long-term.
Caveat: Storage is smaller (75GB vs 200GB); IPv4 addresses billed separately; APAC outbound traffic loses free egress after mid-2026.
Offers 4 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 160GB NVMe SSD at $9.99/mo (3-year rate) or $5.99/mo (1-year promo) with 5TB transfer, 1 Gbps port, and DDoS protection included.
Caveat: Renewal rates jump 2-4x (to ~$11.99/mo); 1-year promo pricing ($5.99/mo) not fully reconciled with 3-year quote; free domain only first year.
Delivers 4 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 80GB SSD at $9.99/mo with 20TB transfer, 1 Gbps port, and 99.9% SLA; pricing has been more stable than competitors' recent hikes.
Caveat: Storage is smaller (80GB vs 200GB); traffic overages billed per GB beyond 20TB pool; recent large price increases on CPX/CCX lines (up to 2.75x in June 2026); VAT excluded from listed prices.
Matches 4 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 240GB NVMe at $11.50/mo with unlimited traffic (up to 1 Gbps) and 99.99% SLA; only 11% more than Hostinger intro but avoids the worst renewal trap.
Caveat: Intro pricing is a 3-month or 1-year promo on 1-year contract; renewal is 2-6x higher; extra IPv4 addresses cost $6/month each; outbound data beyond 2TB pooled allowance is metered.
