When comparing Tremhost vs Hostinger VPS plans, look past the headline monthly price and compare like for like: whether CPU cores are dedicated or shared, RAM, storage type, traffic allowance, data centre locations, renewal price, management level and the written uptime commitment. This guide gives Tremhost’s verified VPS answers and lists what to check on Hostinger’s official VPS page before you decide.
We have not quoted Hostinger’s VPS prices or specifications here, because they change often and vary by country and term. Read them on Hostinger’s own site on the day you compare.
1. Dedicated or shared CPU
A “vCPU” can mean a share of a physical core that other customers also use, or a core reserved for your server. Under load, the difference shows up as inconsistent performance.
Tremhost: every KVM VPS has dedicated CPU cores and reserved RAM.
Check on Hostinger: whether the plan’s vCPUs are dedicated or shared, and whether that is stated in its terms.
2. The specification for the price
Line up plans with similar RAM and compare cores, storage and traffic. Tremhost’s unmanaged KVM VPS plans, in US dollars per month:
- KVM 1: 2 cores, 2 GB RAM, 40 GB NVMe, $15
- KVM 2: 4 cores, 4 GB RAM, 60 GB NVMe, $18
- KVM 3: 4 cores, 6 GB RAM, 80 GB NVMe, $21
- KVM 4: 6 cores, 8 GB RAM, 120 GB NVMe, $25
- KVM 5: 6 cores, 16 GB RAM, 140 GB NVMe, $30
- KVM 6: 8 cores, 24 GB RAM, 200 GB NVMe, $35
- KVM 7 to 9: $70, $150 and $300 a month for larger workloads
Every plan includes full root access, one IPv4 address and between 32 TB and 128 TB of traffic a month. Paying yearly on KVM 1 to 6 costs ten times the monthly price, which is two months free.
Check on Hostinger: cores, RAM, storage type and size, monthly bandwidth and number of IP addresses for the plan nearest in RAM.
3. First-term price vs renewal
Tremhost: no introductory pricing; the monthly or yearly price you sign up at is the renewal price.
Check on Hostinger: the renewal price, and whether the advertised price depends on prepaying a long term.
4. Data centre locations
Latency depends on the distance between your server and your users. For users in Zimbabwe and Southern Africa, a server in South Africa is usually closer than one in Europe or the USA.
Tremhost: Johannesburg, New York, Miami, Limburg (Germany) and Roubaix (France), with the same plans and prices in each. See the Tremhost data centres page.
Check on Hostinger: which VPS locations it offers and whether any are in Africa.
5. Managed or unmanaged
An unmanaged VPS gives you root and leaves the operating system, security updates and software to you. A managed VPS hands that work to the provider.
Tremhost: KVM VPS plans are unmanaged. For a managed option, a managed cPanel VPS starts at $80 a month with cPanel and WHM, LiteSpeed, CloudLinux, Imunify360 and backups, run by Tremhost technicians and ready in about three hours, with free migration.
Check on Hostinger: what its VPS support covers, and whether a control panel licence costs extra.
6. Provisioning and operating systems
Tremhost: servers are built automatically after payment, usually within minutes, with the root password and IP address sent by email. Operating systems include Ubuntu, AlmaLinux, Debian, CentOS and Rocky Linux, and you can take snapshots in the VPS panel before big changes.
Check on Hostinger: available operating systems, snapshot and backup options, and whether backups cost extra.
7. Uptime commitment and support
Tremhost: a 99.9% monthly availability target with service credits in the Tremhost SLA. Support is by ticket, WhatsApp on +263 73 563 9917 or a booked call, Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 17:00 CAT; there is no 24/7 human support.
Check on Hostinger: its VPS uptime guarantee wording, credits, and support channels and hours.
8. Paying for it
Tremhost: US dollars by EcoCash, InnBucks, ZimSwitch, Omari, Visa, Mastercard, Bitcoin, Tron or Litecoin, monthly or yearly.
Check on Hostinger: which payment methods are available in your country, and whether renewal relies on a card.
How to decide
Write down the workload: RAM needed, where users are, whether you can administer Linux, and how you will pay each month. Then compare the plan from each provider that meets it, at renewal price, with the same management level. If dedicated cores, a Johannesburg location and mobile money payment matter to you, weigh those points first.
