Pricing at Matched Sizes: Hostinger Wins Even After Renewal

The two sell a VPS (server privato virtuale) in different ways. Hostinger offers four fixed KVM plans, pagato in anticipo 1, 12 o 24 mesi. Kamatera lets you pick vCPUs, RAM and disk one by one, then bills by the month or by the hour.

So we rebuilt each Hostinger plan in Kamatera's calculator. We used Type A, Kamatera's cheapest CPU type, which its FAQ describes as a non-dedicated CPU thread with no resources guaranteed. Kamatera's dedicated-thread Type B costs more: Dollaro statunitense 33 a month at the KVM 1 taglia.

Hostinger's renewal lifts the bill 1.67x to 2.23x, a seconda del piano. On KVM 1 it's 1.85x. It still doesn't catch Kamatera. Al rinnovo, KVM 2 costa USD 14.99, while Kamatera charges USD 36 per lo stesso 2 vCPU e 8 GB, 2.4 volte tanto.

Over four years the gap widens with size. We took the cheapest way to pay at each provider: Hostinger's 24-month prepay plus its 24-month renewal, and Kamatera's monthly rate.

At the smallest size, Kamatera costs 1.73 times Hostinger's four-year total. At the KVM 8 size it costs 4.47 volte tanto.

Hostinger raised KVM 1 da USD 4.99 a USD 6.49 un mese tra 18 Febbraio e 7 marzo 2026. Hostinger gave no date, so that range comes from Common Crawl copies of its VPS page. The renewal rose from USD 9.99 a USD 11.99 in the same step, so four years now cost USD 443.52 invece di USD 359.52.

Hostinger's Black Friday sale, on from 19 October until 14 dicembre 2026, cuts KVM 2 a USD 8.79 un mese dopo 24 mesi. KVM 1 stays at USD 6.49, the price it showed on 9 settembre. Kamatera ran no Black Friday offer in 2024 o 2025: its archived homepages from both Novembers show only the free trial.

Where does Kamatera win on price? Short jobs. Its KVM 1-sized server costs USD 0.022 un'ora, so a 48-hour test comes to about USD 1.06. Over nine months it costs USD 144, still under Hostinger's USD 155.76 pagamento anticipato di due anni.

Hostinger's month-to-month option renews at USD 19.49 dopo il primo mese, Dollaro statunitense 3.49 above Kamatera's monthly rate. During the sale, its 12-month term costs USD 83.88 per KVM 1, which beats Kamatera from the sixth month.

Vincitore: Hostinger, at every size and on any commitment of a year or more. Kamatera wins only when the server lives for months, not years.

Data Centers and Latency: Kamatera Reaches Further

Kamatera's calculator offers 21 città. Nine are in North America, seven in Europe, and the rest are Tel Aviv, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Singapore e Sydney. Kamatera announced Bucharest on 8 agosto 2026 as its "25th location worldwide", yet only 21 can be picked.

Hostinger's VPS cart offers 10 città, and two of its labels name only the country. Its cart data lists "Regno Unito" as Manchester and "Germania" as Düsseldorf. Francoforte, Singapore and São Paulo appear there as inactive, and the Brazilian site is Campinas.

Each has gaps the other fills. Kamatera has nothing in India, Sud America o Africa. Hostinger has nothing in Australia, Giappone, Canada or on the US West Coast.

Does that show up in practice? We measured it on 21 ottobre 2026 using Globalping, whose free test probes are run by volunteers. Ten probes sat on home internet connections in nine countries. Each opened 10 TCP connections to port 443 sopra 21 test hosts: tutti 10 Hostinger VPS cities and the 11 Kamatera cities nearest the probes.

We used TCP because Kamatera's test hosts ignore most pings. For Hostinger, we used the hosts its own cart contacts to show "best latency". The table lists each probe's fastest city at each provider, in millisecondi (più basso è meglio).

Kamatera answered faster from six of the 10 probes. The biggest gaps run both ways. From Brisbane, Hostinger's fastest site was Phoenix, a 171.2 SM. From Cotia, near São Paulo, Kamatera's best was Atlanta at 134.9 SM. Kamatera publishes no test host in Miami, so that site went unmeasured.

A few connections needed a retry, which adds a fixed one or two seconds. That happened in 5 di 210 coppie. We counted those attempts as lost, like dropped pings, and averaged the rest.

Keep the limits in mind. This shows how quickly each network answers from one home connection per city, on one day. It isn't a page-speed test, and we didn't host a site on either provider.

Traffic differs by city too. Kamatera include 5 TBC al mese, but its FAQ cuts that to 1 TBC al mese a Hong Kong, Sydney, Tokio e Singapore. Its plan cards still show 5 TB for all 21 città. KVM di Hostinger 1 card lists 4 TB.

Vincitore: Kamatera for North America, il Regno Unito, Singapore e Australia. Hostinger for India, Brasile, France and Germany.

Pannelli di controllo, Windows and the Work You Take On

Both sell self-managed KVM servers, meaning you get root access and do the upkeep yourself. Kamatera's FAQ confirms KVM, and Hostinger names every plan after it. aggiornamenti, firewall rules and fixing a broken web server are your job on either.

The panel bill is where small servers get expensive. A cPanel licence for five accounts costs Dollaro statunitense 32.99 a month at Hostinger, 5.1 times the KVM 1 server it runs on. Kamatera charges USD 35 for the same tier, so its KVM 1-sized server with cPanel comes to USD 51. KVM di Hostinger 1 with cPanel is USD 39.48.

You can skip that cost. Hostinger's cart offers 19 pannelli, including CloudPanel, which it lists as free, and DirectAdmin at USD 4.99 un mese. Kamatera's Marketplace lists CloudPanel, CyberPanel and Webmin among its images, and Plesk Web Admin costs USD 22 a month in its calculator.

Backups split the same way. Hostinger includes weekly backups and sells daily ones for USD 3 un mese. Kamatera sells backups as an add-on, and daily backups lift its KVM 1-sized server from USD 16 a USD 21.

Windows decides it for some buyers. Kamatera adds USD 19 a month for Windows Server, which requires a server of 2 vCPU e 2 GB of RAM or more. UN 2 vCPU, 8 GB, 100 GB server with Windows Server 2022 costa USD 55 Là. Hostinger's VPS cart lists 12 Linux images and no Windows at all.

Kamatera's console draws complaints. One r/VPS member who compared four hosts in June 2025 called its panel dated. They also disliked re-entering SSH keys for every new server. VPSBenchmark, which runs its own VPS tests, likewise marks Kamatera "No" for SSH key setup.

Vincitore: Hostinger for Linux, because the panel and backups cost less. Kamatera for Windows and for sizes Hostinger doesn't sell.

rimborsi, Trials, Uptime and Support

Hostinger refunds a VPS within 30 giorni, con una cattura. It only applies if your previous VPS refund was more than 180 days ago. VPS licences and plan upgrades are never refunded.

Kamatera offers no money back. Anziché, new accounts get a 30-day trial: one server worth up to USD 100 in resources and a 1 Indennità di traffico per tubercolosi. A valid card is required. When the trial ends, its terms make the server chargeable unless you delete it.

One r/VPS member learned that in February 2026, finding about USD 100 billed after forgetting to cancel. Monthly servers carry a second trap. Kamatera's billing cycle starts on the 1st, so cancelling on the 2nd still costs the full month.

Uptime promises are thinner than they look on both sides. Kamatera's sales pages say 99.95%, but its SLA (accordo sul livello di servizio, the document that sets the uptime commitment) dice 99.9%. It defines that as eight hours of downtime a year. It credits up to one month of the failed service, capped at USD 5,000. It can also reject any claim "per qualsiasi motivo".

Hostinger's hosting agreement promises 99.9% un mese. After a missed month, you may request a credit of 5% of that month's fee, "as solely determined by us". On KVM 1 si tratta di USD 0.32, usable only on further purchases. I nostri Kamatera review reads its SLA clause by clause, including the exclusions.

Support is where Kamatera pulls ahead. Elenca 24/7 Chiacchierare, phone and email, with technical support lines in the US and UK. Hostinger starts every chat with Hostinger Agent, il suo assistente AI, and a human specialist can join if needed. It offers WhatsApp too, but no phone line.

How that AI-first model plays out is the subject of our Recensione di Hostinger, which counts AI-support complaints among recent low-star Trustpilot reviews. Kamatera's terms add a different risk: it can reprice "in ogni momento", and the new rate applies at once, prepaid terms included.

Old Hostinger VPS plans: il 14 December deadline

Hostinger will shut down its remaining OpenVZ VPS servers on 14 dicembre 2026 and permanently delete their data. Any Hostinger VPS bought before 18 aprile 2023 runs OpenVZ. There's no automatic conversion, so owners must set up a new KVM server and copy everything across.

Vincitore: Hostinger for the refund window, Kamatera for phone support. Neither SLA pays enough to matter.

If You Only Need Shared Hosting

Kamatera sells no shared hosting at all. Every Kamatera product is a cloud server. Even one blog means installing a panel and keeping the system patched, or paying USD 50 a month for its managed service.

Hostinger's Premium shared plan is the simpler buy for small sites. Four years cost USD 143.52 in anticipo, o USD 2.99 un mese, e si rinnova alle Dollaro statunitense 10.99 un mese. Premium is capped at 3 siti web e 20 GB di spazio SSD, with backups once a week.

Here's the threshold. Three sites or fewer, sotto 20 GB in total, and no need for root access: buy Premium. Un dollaro statunitense 4 Kamatera server costs less than Premium's renewal, but it has 1 GB of RAM and you patch it yourself. Add cPanel and the KVM 1-sized server reaches USD 51 un mese.

Vincitore: Hostinger, per impostazione predefinita. Kamatera has no shared plan to compare.

How We Compared Kamatera and Hostinger

We read every price on Kamatera's and Hostinger's own sites on 21 ottobre 2026. We built Kamatera servers in its live price calculator, using Ubuntu Server 24.04 a New York. Kamatera shows prices with no tax line. Hostinger's cart added tax for our location, so its prices here are before tax.

Hostinger's sale was live during our check. Under our rules, tables and totals use the price before the sale, taken from an archived copy of Hostinger's VPS page dated 9 settembre 2026. Only KVM 2 differed. Prices shown only in the cart during the sale, like the 12-month term, are labelled as sale prices.

We matched sizes to Hostinger's four plans, because Kamatera can build any of them and Hostinger can't build Kamatera's. Multi-year totals use the cheapest way to pay for the whole period, rinnovi compresi. Kamatera has no prepay discount, so its totals are simply its monthly rate times the months.

Policy details come from Kamatera's terms, SLA and FAQ, and from Hostinger's refund policy, hosting agreement and help center. Buyer reports come from Reddit threads we read in full. Our scores (4.2 for Kamatera from 320 recensioni, 4.6 for Hostinger from 63.2k+) come from our own review data.

The latency figures are our only first-hand measurement. We didn't host sites, run load tests or open support tickets.

Should I move an old Hostinger OpenVZ VPS to Kamatera?

You'll rebuild either way, because Hostinger deletes OpenVZ servers and their data on 14 dicembre 2026. Staying with Hostinger KVM keeps one bill and costs less at the same size. Move to Kamatera only if you need Windows, a city Hostinger lacks, o fatturazione oraria.

Verdetto finale

Hostinger is the better buy for most people reading this. For a Linux VPS kept a year or more, it costs less at every size, even after renewal. It also offers a 30-day VPS refund and includes weekly backups.

Interesse is the one to pick when the job doesn't fit Hostinger's shape. Choose it for Windows servers, hourly or short-lived projects, or visitors in Australia, Japan and the US West Coast. Budget for its higher monthly rate and the full-month billing rule.

Running an old Hostinger OpenVZ plan? Rebuild on KVM before 14 dicembre 2026, wherever you go. And if you only host a few small sites, skip both VPS products and buy Hostinger Premium.
