A cheap self-managed plan, or a managed server.
Hostinger is low-cost shared and VPS hosting with attractive intro pricing, but the VPS plans are self-managed and renewal prices climb well above the entry rate. RemarkableCloud is a dedicated fully managed VPS with a 500% SLA and one flat price that never jumps. Choose Hostinger if you want the cheapest entry price and will run the server yourself. Choose RemarkableCloud if you want the server managed for you.
Hostinger is low-cost hosting built around an aggressive entry price.
Hostinger is a fast-growing global host known for some of the lowest advertised prices in the market. It offers shared hosting, a custom hPanel control panel, and VPS plans with competitive specs, and it has built a strong brand on affordability and a polished signup experience. For a first site or a cost-sensitive project, Hostinger's entry pricing is genuinely hard to beat.
But Hostinger's low prices come with two patterns worth knowing. The headline rate is an introductory price tied to a long term, and renewal lands well above it. The VPS plans, while inexpensive, are self-managed: there is no proactive monitoring, no incident response team, and no real uptime SLA backing the server. You get cheap infrastructure and a tidy dashboard, but the work of running the server, and the risk when it goes down, stays with you.
A cheap self-managed plan, or a managed server.
Hostinger and RemarkableCloud both sell a VPS, but the entry price buys very different things. Two differences matter most.
Hostinger's VPS plans are self-managed.
Hostinger gives you a tidy dashboard and a cheap VPS, but OS patching, monitoring, security, and incident response stay with you. The low price buys infrastructure, not a team to run it.
RemarkableCloud is a dedicated managed server.
Our team handles OS patching, security hardening, monitoring, incident response, firewall, mail gateway, and backups proactively, before issues reach you. You deploy code, we run the server.
Hostinger's price is an intro rate.
The headline price is tied to a long term, then renews well above it. The uptime guarantee allows hours of downtime a year before any credit, and credits require a claim.
RemarkableCloud is one flat price with a 500% SLA.
One flat monthly rate that never jumps at renewal. 1 hour down equals 5 hours credited, from minute one, automatically, with no threshold and no claim to file.
What you actually get for the same money.
Hostinger advertises a VPS from a low intro rate, but the headline price is tied to a long term and renews well above it, and the plan is self-managed. RemarkableCloud's Basic Cloud Cube is $8 per month with annual billing, a dedicated fully managed VPS with full root access, a 500% SLA, and one flat price that never jumps. The Shared CPU 8 GB tier at $36 is the step up when your site grows.
2 vCPU · 8 GB RAM · 100 GB NVMe · 8 TB transfer
Self-managed VPS. No proactive monitoring. No incident response team. No real uptime SLA. Renewal well above the intro rate.
per month, intro rate before renewal
- Self-managed, you are the sysadmin
- No proactive monitoring or incident response
- Renewal well above the intro price
- No real uptime SLA backing the server
- No enterprise mail relay included
The low number is an intro rate tied to a long term. At renewal the real monthly cost is significantly higher, and running the server stays your responsibility.

Performance, side by side.
Hostinger's VPS plans use AMD EPYC processors with NVMe storage and competitive raw specs, but they are self-managed and the network and resource allocation depend on the plan tier. Every RemarkableCloud Cloud Cube runs on current-generation enterprise Intel and AMD processors at 3 GHz or higher, with 100% NVMe storage, dedicated resources, and a 50 Gbps DDoS-protected network on every plan, including the $8/month Basic tier.
Hostinger infrastructure
AMD EPYC CPUs with NVMe on VPS plans
Hostinger's KVM VPS plans run on AMD EPYC processors with NVMe storage. The raw hardware on the VPS line is genuinely competitive for the price, one of Hostinger's real strengths.
Self-managed, the server is your job
Hostinger VPS plans give root access but no management. OS patching, monitoring, security hardening, and incident response are all the customer's responsibility once the server is live.
Network and protection vary by plan
Network throughput and DDoS protection on Hostinger VPS depend on the tier and data center. There is no high-capacity scrubbed network included as a baseline across every plan.
hPanel dashboard, polished interface
Hostinger's custom hPanel is a clean, well-designed control panel. For provisioning and basic management it is genuinely pleasant to use, one of Hostinger's strongest points.
RemarkableCloud infrastructure
Current-generation enterprise CPUs at 3 GHz+
Every Cloud Cube runs on modern Intel Xeon and AMD EPYC server-grade processors at 3 GHz or higher. Consistent clock speeds, the same caliber of hardware used in demanding data center workloads, with no mixed-generation fleet.
100% NVMe on every plan, no premium tier
NVMe storage is included on every Cloud Cube, from the $8/month Basic 2 GB plan to the 128 GB Dedicated CPU tier. NVMe delivers 5 to 7× faster read and write speeds than standard SSD, benefiting WordPress database reads and any disk-heavy workload immediately.
50 Gbps DDoS-protected network, all plans
Every Cloud Cube plan runs on a 50 Gbps network with built-in DDoS scrubbing at the infrastructure level. Attack mitigation is on by default. No add-on, no premium tier, no separate firewall service to configure.
Non-oversold, allocation guaranteed
Cloud Cubes are never oversold. Your allocated CPU and RAM are consistently yours, never shared or throttled by neighboring tenant activity. No burst credits, no noisy-neighbor risk on any plan.

Three steps to leave Hostinger.
RemarkableCloud handles the full migration from any Hostinger account at no cost. Most migrations complete in 2 to 24 hours with no downtime planned. You stay on Hostinger until we confirm the new server is verified and ready.
Order your Cloud Cube
Pick a Cloud Cube plan and complete the order. We provision the new server and send migration credentials within minutes. Your Hostinger account stays running and serving traffic. No reconfiguration on the Hostinger side.
We migrate your full stack
Our team copies files, databases, mail accounts, DNS records, and SSL certificates from your Hostinger account to the new Cloud Cube. We test everything on a staging URL before cutover. You review and approve. No surprises, no rushed migrations.
Coordinated cutover, then go live
When you approve, we point your domain DNS to the Cloud Cube during a coordinated window. Final database sync, DNS propagation, post-migration verification, then you cancel the Hostinger account. You are fully live on RemarkableCloud.
Four reasons teams move from Hostinger to RemarkableCloud.
Teams running a real workload on a Hostinger VPS move to RemarkableCloud for four consistent reasons: they want the server managed instead of being the sysadmin, they want flat pricing with no renewal jump, they want a real uptime SLA, and they want backups, mail, and monitoring included rather than assembled by hand.
The server managed, not your second job.
Hostinger gives you a cheap VPS and a tidy dashboard, but OS patching, monitoring, security, and incident response stay with you. On RemarkableCloud, our team runs the server around the clock and resolves issues before they reach your users. Most problems are fixed before a single user-facing impact, with no on-call rotation on your side.
No renewal shock, flat pricing.
Hostinger's headline price is an intro rate tied to a long term, then renews well above it. RemarkableCloud charges one flat monthly price that stays the same every month, with no intro rate and no jump at renewal. The price you see is the bill you pay, this month and next year.
A real 500% SLA, not a gamble.
Hostinger VPS plans carry no meaningful uptime SLA. When something goes wrong there is no automatic compensation and no accountability. RemarkableCloud's 500% SLA credits 5 hours for every hour of downtime, automatically, from the first minute, with no threshold and no claim. The guarantee is real and it pays out.
Backups, mail, and monitoring included.
On a Hostinger VPS you assemble everything yourself: backups have limited retention, there is no enterprise mail gateway, and monitoring is your own to configure. RemarkableCloud includes daily snapshots with free offsite S3 storage, the MailChannels SMTP relay with Rspamd antispam, and proactive monitoring, all on every Cloud Cube at one flat price.
When Hostinger is the right choice. When RemarkableCloud is.
Hostinger is the wrong answer for some buyers and the right answer for others. Same for RemarkableCloud. The honest version of this page is which one matches the shape of your team and your workload. Here is the test.
Choose Hostinger when
- You want the lowest possible entry price and the intro rate fits your budget.
- You have the skills to run a server yourself and want only raw infrastructure.
- You value the polished hPanel dashboard and a smooth signup experience.
- You are building a first site or a low-stakes project where downtime is not critical.
- You are comfortable assembling backups, monitoring, and mail yourself.
- You are comfortable with a renewal price well above the intro rate.
Choose RemarkableCloud when
- You want the server fully managed instead of becoming the sysadmin yourself.
- You want one flat price that stays the same, with no renewal jump.
- You want a real 500% SLA with automatic credits, not an uptime gamble.
- You want daily backups, an enterprise mail gateway, and proactive monitoring included.
- You want a 50 Gbps DDoS-protected network on every plan as a baseline.
- You want a team that handles incidents before they reach you, around the clock.
RemarkableCloud vs Hostinger, your questions answered.
Is Hostinger's VPS the same as fully managed hosting?
No. Hostinger's VPS plans are self-managed: you get root access and a tidy hPanel dashboard, but OS patching, monitoring, security hardening, and incident response are all your responsibility once the server is live. RemarkableCloud is genuinely fully managed: our team handles OS patching, security hardening, monitoring, incident response, firewall, mail gateway, and backups proactively, before issues reach you. The low Hostinger price buys infrastructure, not a team to run it.
Can I migrate from Hostinger to RemarkableCloud for free?
Yes. RemarkableCloud includes free migration from Hostinger on every Cloud Cube plan, with no engineering work required on your side. Our team copies your files, databases, mail accounts, DNS records, and SSL certificates from your Hostinger account to your new Cloud Cube, tests everything on a staging URL, then coordinates a cutover window with you. Most migrations complete in 2 to 24 hours with no planned downtime, and you stay on Hostinger until we confirm the new server is verified.
Why does Hostinger cost more at renewal than the advertised price?
The low price Hostinger advertises is an introductory rate tied to a long term, often several years paid upfront. At renewal, the monthly cost rises well above that intro rate, and many customers are surprised by the difference. RemarkableCloud charges one flat monthly price with annual billing that stays the same every month, with no intro rate and no jump at renewal. The Basic Cloud Cube is $8 per month, a dedicated fully managed VPS, and it is $8 next year too.
Does Hostinger offer an uptime SLA on its VPS?
Hostinger VPS plans do not carry a meaningful uptime SLA. If your server goes down, there is no automatic compensation and no contractual accountability. RemarkableCloud's 500% SLA credits you automatically from minute one of any downtime: one hour down means five hours of service credited back to your account. There is no threshold to breach, no claim form to file, and no support ticket required. For a production workload, that difference matters.
Is Hostinger a good choice if I want the cheapest option?
On entry price alone, Hostinger is genuinely hard to beat, and if you have the skills to run a server yourself and your project is low-stakes, it is a reasonable choice. RemarkableCloud is built for the opposite case: teams that would rather not run the server at all. Once you account for the cost of your own time spent on patching, monitoring, and incident response, plus the renewal jump, RemarkableCloud's flat $8 per month for a fully managed VPS is the lower total cost for most teams running anything that matters.
