Hostinger Portainer VPS review
A self-managed VPS with Portainer, backups, monitoring and scalable KVM plans.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Hostinger Portainer VPS is a self-managed virtual private server offering for developers and teams that want Docker administration through Portainer CE. The control panel provides a Portainer template, while Portainer’s web dashboard handles containers, images, networks and volumes. It suits solo users, small businesses and mid-market teams comfortable managing a Linux VPS rather than seeking fully managed application hosting.
The published plans use annual billing, with terms paid upfront and renewing for two years. 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 per month with 2 vCPU cores, 8 GB RAM, 100 GB NVMe disk space and 8 TB bandwidth. KVM 4 costs $28.99 per month with 4 vCPU cores, 16 GB RAM, 200 GB NVMe disk space and 16 TB bandwidth. KVM 8 costs $49.99 per month with 8 vCPU cores, 32 GB RAM, 400 GB NVMe disk space and 32 TB bandwidth. Plans can be upgraded for additional resources.
For operations, the service combines one-click VPS application installation, weekly automatic backups, manual snapshots and container performance monitoring. A public VPS API supports programmatic administration, and deployment is available in cloud or self-hosted environments through web, Linux and API access. Hostinger lists 24/7 support through chat and documentation, a 30-day refund period, and ISO 27001, GDPR, PCI DSS and two-factor security provisions. Choose it if you want Portainer on a configurable VPS with backup and monitoring features. Consider another option if you require managed updates or a fully managed container platform.
