Hostinger MariaDB VPS review
A configurable MariaDB VPS for users who want direct control without managed database features.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Hostinger MariaDB VPS is a paid virtual private server offering for deploying MariaDB with dedicated VPS resources. It is aimed at developers, businesses, creators and other users who want direct control over database configuration and tuning rather than a managed database platform. MariaDB is available through one-click installation, while Docker management, NVMe SSD storage, weekly VPS backups, a built-in firewall and DDoS protection support the wider hosting environment.
The published plans show four monthly-equivalent options, paid upfront for a two-year term. KVM 1 costs $11.99 per month and includes 1 vCPU core, 4 GB RAM, 50 GB NVMe disk space and 4 TB bandwidth. KVM 2 costs $14.99 for 2 vCPU cores, 8 GB RAM, 100 GB NVMe disk space and 8 TB bandwidth. KVM 4 costs $28.99 for 4 vCPU cores, 16 GB RAM, 200 GB NVMe disk space and 16 TB bandwidth. KVM 8 costs $49.99 for 8 vCPU cores, 32 GB RAM, 400 GB NVMe disk space and 32 TB bandwidth. Each tier increases CPU, memory, storage and bandwidth, giving buyers a clear path to larger VPS resources.
This offering fits users who can manage their own MariaDB environment and value VPS-level control, Docker, API access and regional data-center selection. Automatic weekly VPS backups add a recovery layer, but the product does not provide verified high availability or database-level recovery. Buyers seeking those capabilities should consider an alternative with more specialized managed database operations. Hostinger MariaDB VPS is therefore better suited to configurable application hosting than to teams that want database administration abstracted away.
