UltaHost VPS vs Hostinger VPS: plan-by-plan specs
We compared the plans listed on each company's VPS page on 2026-11-12. All prices below are the advertised rate for a 24-month term; both sites show other terms and promotions that change. Hostinger states that all plans are paid upfront.
| Plan | Price /mo (24-mo) | vCPU | RAM | Storage | Bandwidth |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hostinger KVM 1 | $6.49 | 1 | 4 GB | 50 GB NVMe | 4 TB |
| Hostinger KVM 2 | $8.79 | 2 | 8 GB | 100 GB NVMe | 8 TB |
| Hostinger KVM 4 | $12.99 | 4 | 16 GB | 200 GB NVMe | 16 TB |
| UltaHost VPS Basic | $5.52 | 1 | 1 GB DDR5 | 30 GB NVMe | Not listed |
| UltaHost VPS Business | $9.78 | 2 | 2 GB DDR5 | 50 GB NVMe | "Unlimited" |
| UltaHost VPS Professional | $15.87 | 3 | 4 GB DDR5 | 75 GB NVMe | "Unlimited" |
| UltaHost VPS Enterprise | $20.69 | 4 | 6 GB DDR5 | 100 GB NVMe | "Unlimited" |
Matching on RAM tells the story. 4 GB of RAM costs $6.49 on Hostinger (KVM 1) and $15.87 on UltaHost (Professional). 2 GB costs $9.78 on UltaHost; Hostinger's smallest plan already has 4 GB. If the plans are tiered by RAM, which is what most small apps need, Hostinger is clearly cheaper per gigabyte on the prices listed.
See Hostinger KVM plansRenewal prices and the 24-month catch
Hostinger lists renewal rates next to the sale price: KVM 1 renews at $11.99/mo, KVM 2 at $14.99/mo and KVM 4 at $28.99/mo. That is a big step up from the promotional price, so plan to re-evaluate (or move) at month 24. UltaHost's page shows only the 24-month prices and toggles for Monthly, Yearly and 3-year terms without showing those prices, so check the renewal figure at checkout. On the entry plan, the 24-month total works out to about $132 for UltaHost Basic (5.52 × 24) against $155.76 for Hostinger KVM 1, as billed upfront, but the Hostinger plan has four times the RAM.
Locations, uptime and support
Hostinger says it runs its VPS in 10 data centers across 4 continents. UltaHost says it has data centers in 30+ global locations and advertises a 99.99% uptime guarantee. If your visitors are in a region Hostinger does not cover, UltaHost's broader footprint can reduce latency. We have not measured either network, so check the locations list against your audience before buying.
