VPS Hosting

The hosting I actually put clients on.

Four Hostinger VPS tiers I trust for small sites, growing sites, and the odd side project. Pick the one that fits, or ask me which one and I'll tell you.

These are affiliate links. If you sign up through one of them Hostinger pays me a small commission at no extra cost to you. I only recommend the plans I use myself or put clients on.

Prices below are the intro yearly rate. They renew at the standard rate after the first term, which is normal for VPS hosts.

Not sure which one?

If it's one WordPress site or a static marketing page, KVM 1 is plenty. If you're planning to grow into it, or you want a little headroom, KVM 2 is the sweet spot and what most of my clients end up on.

Running a real app, or planning to? KVM 4 or KVM 8. Email me before you buy either of those and I'll help you size it right.

Affiliate disclosure: I earn a commission when you sign up through the links above. Your price is the same. I use Hostinger VPS for my own infrastructure.

Why I picked this hosting

The hosting I recommend to clients is the exact hosting I run my own agency site on. That is not sponsorship talking, I pay for it out of my own pocket, and I have moved 40+ small business sites onto it over the last three years. Here is what actually matters:

How to pick a plan

Most brochure sites (10–30 pages, a contact form, and light monthly traffic) fit comfortably on KVM 1. Restaurants, small e-commerce, and busier local businesses tend to feel snappier on KVM 2 because Node/PHP background processes need the extra RAM. If you are running WooCommerce with more than a few hundred SKUs, or you are hosting a portal alongside a marketing site, jump to KVM 4. KVM 8 is for agencies hosting multiple client sites on one plan, that is what I use for the WSG cluster.

Migration + setup

If you are with a shared host today (Bluehost, HostGator, GoDaddy shared, SiteGround, etc.), the migration is straightforward: I move the site over, verify email and DNS still work, and you point your domain to the new server. Downtime is typically under 15 minutes. If you want me to handle it, drop me a note on the contact page, I do not charge for basic migrations for hosting clients.

Frequently asked questions

Do you resell this? Yes, but the discount codes above route through my affiliate link. The pricing is the same as booking direct; the small kickback helps fund the free audits and blog posts. You are welcome to book direct without the link if you prefer.

Can I get help configuring the server? If you sign up through the links above and let me know, I will set up nginx, PHP, and SSL on the first site for free.

What about WordPress plans? Managed WordPress plans exist and are fine for pure WP sites, but the KVM plans above give you more flexibility if you want a custom site, a static site (Astro/Hugo/11ty), or a headless setup.

Refund policy? Standard 30-day money-back guarantee through Hostinger. No fine print.
