What is Hostinger VPS KVM 1?
KVM 1 is Hostinger's entry VPS: a virtual private server with 1 vCPU core, 4 GB of RAM and 50 GB of NVMe storage, plus full root access. Unlike shared or cloud hosting, you get a real server environment to configure yourself.
That freedom is the reason to buy it. You can run Node.js, Python, Docker containers, a custom Nginx setup, a database server or a small game server. The trade-off is responsibility: security updates, firewalls and backups are your job, although Hostinger's OS templates make the first setup quicker.
What's included
- Full root access
- OS and app templates to start from
- Choice of data center location
- 30-day money-back guarantee
VPS KVM 1 price for every term

| Term | List price | List total | With 1RAHUL891 | Per month with code | You save |

Renewals are charged at Hostinger's regular rate, which is higher than these intro prices, and the referral discount applies to the first purchase only.
Who VPS KVM 1 is for
Good fit
- Full root access at the lowest VPS price
- 4 GB RAM is generous for a single-core plan
- Referral discount from a 1-month term, so testing is cheap
- Upgrade to a bigger KVM plan from Hostinger's panel later
Skip it if
- You only want a WordPress site without server work (Premium is simpler and cheaper)
- Your workload is CPU-heavy; one vCPU is the bottleneck
- You're not comfortable with SSH and Linux basics yet
What VPS KVM 1 can realistically handle
One vCPU and 4 GB RAM handle a personal project, a staging server, an API with modest traffic, a VPN, a chat bot, or a single WordPress site behind a good cache.
It struggles with several busy processes at once, such as a database plus a heavy app server under load. If you plan to run Docker, leave some RAM for the operating system and container overhead.
