Needs review
Shortlist Hostinger when you want managed WordPress or a simple KVM VPS with an EU data-center option and a published DPA. Skip it when you need HIPAA or PCI, an EU-only data path, or a custom enterprise SLA. Consider Hetzner or OVHcloud instead for more operator-centric European infrastructure.

Bare Metal and VPS Servers
Dedicated servers offer latest hardware with full configurability and simplified management. QuickStart variants deploy in 24 hours for urgent needs. VPS on OpenStack provide cost-effective virtual machines. GPU servers support private AI and machine learning projects. Network add-ons like firewalls and Switch as a Service build secure setups. These run in high-rated Italian data centers for low latency.
Public Cloud Services
OpenStack Cloud Servers handle test and production with unlimited traffic. Virtual Data Centers scale with ecosystem tools. Managed Kubernetes simplifies clusters, while Application Platform uses container tech for efficiency. Container Registry stores images securely. Database as a Service manages relational DBs. Monitoring covers sites and servers. Storage options include S3-compatible object storage and block volumes.
VMware-Optimized Solutions
VMware Cloud Servers deliver reliable virtual machines. Virtual Private Clouds allow custom networks, firewalls, and management via VMware Cloud Director. Unified Storage shares data across environments. Disaster recovery uses Zerto, Veeam, or vSphere tools. Backups protect VPCs with Veeam on bare metal. As a VMware Pinnacle Partner, Aruba ensures tight integration for enterprises.
Storage and Backup Services
Smart Storage secures server data compliantly. Cloud Object Storage offers S3 compatibility. Block Storage adds scalable disks. Backups via cloud, agentless for VDCs/Kubernetes, or Microsoft 365 protection use Veeam and Commvault. Promotions like 50% off Commvault packages appear periodically. These protect against loss while supporting hybrid setups.
Selectable European and global data centers
Web and cloud plans can be placed in France, Germany, Lithuania, the Netherlands, or the United Kingdom, or in the United States, Brazil, India, Indonesia, or Malaysia. VPS omits the Netherlands. Location is chosen at setup and can be moved later on web and cloud, but not on VPS without rebuild.
Managed WordPress on LiteSpeed and hPanel
Plans include one-click install, staging, automatic updates, malware scanning, WAF, Let's Encrypt, WP-CLI, SSH, and Git. WordPress.org lists Hostinger as a recommended host. Shared plans isolate accounts with CloudLinux LVE. Not a self-hosted WordPress appliance you run elsewhere.
KVM VPS with root, templates, and a public API
KVM guests use AMD EPYC and NVMe, weekly backups, snapshots, a managed firewall, Wanguard DDoS filtering, and one-click OS or app templates (Docker, n8n, Ubuntu, and others). A documented public API and MCP server support automation. The guest is unmanaged: you patch the OS.
Managed cloud with dedicated IP and NVMe
Cloud plans keep hPanel and add more CPU, RAM, NVMe, PHP workers, inode headroom, a dedicated IP, CDN, and daily or on-demand backups. Aimed at agencies and busier WordPress or Node.js sites that do not want root. Upgrade path from shared hosting is in-panel.
In-house hPanel, Access Manager, and migrations
hPanel is Hostinger's control plane for sites, DNS, mail, backups, and collaborators. Access Manager shares scoped access without handing over the account password. Website migration is a supported request flow for common CMS stacks. Developer tools (SSH, Git, PHP versions) live in the same panel.
Public DPA with a named sub-processor list
A click-through DPA covers hosting, VPS, email, domains, Website Builder, Horizons, and Reach. Appendix 3 lists AWS EMEA, Google Cloud EMEA, Cloudflare, MailChannels, Proofpoint, Anthropic Ireland, and spectra tech UAB. New sub-processors can be added with a 10-day objection window.
| Assurance & compliance | ||
|---|---|---|
| Independent security / no-logs audit | Niet vermeld | Not found Vendor describes internal pentests and a HackerOne-style responsible disclosure programme. No public independent audit PDF found. |
| ISO 27001 | Niet vermeld | Vendor claimed Trust Center and security article claim ISO/IEC 27001:2022. Certificate download requires Trust Center access. Not independently verified here. |
| SOC 2 / SOC 3 | Niet vermeld | Not found No public SOC 2 or SOC 3 report found on Trust Center overview or legal pages. |
| GDPR / EU data protection | Niet vermeld | Vendor claimed EU/UK/Luxembourg contracting entities; privacy policy cites GDPR; DPA includes EU SCCs and UK addendum. Confirm entity on the invoice. |
| US CLOUD Act exposure (indicative) | Niet vermeld | Partial European group, no known US parent. Exposure is medium because customers may select US data centers and the DPA names US-group processors (AWS EMEA, Google Cloud EMEA, Cloudflare, Proofpoint). Not legal advice. |
| Data processing agreement (B2B) | Niet vermeld | Vendor claimed Public DPA incorporated into the Terms of Service. Parties: Hostinger International Ltd, Hostinger UK Limited, or Hostinger Global S.a r.l. |
| EU AI Act | Niet vermeld | Not applicable Core product is hosting. Horizons, Kodee, and Reach are AI features inside that product, not an AI-centric system of record. |
| HIPAA / PCI environment | Niet vermeld | Not applicable Hosting agreement: services are not intended to provide a PCI or HIPAA compliant environment. |
| Considerations & known limitations | ||
|---|---|---|
| Optional non-EU hosting regions | Niet vermeld | Medium US, Brazil, and Asia data centers are first-class options. An operator can place production outside the EEA at checkout. Lock region in procurement if residency is required. |
| US-group cloud, CDN, email, and security vendors | Niet vermeld | Medium Even an EU VM still depends on AWS EMEA, Google Cloud EMEA, Cloudflare, Proofpoint, MailChannels, plus Google/Meta marketing tools. This is why CLOUD Act exposure is not low. |
| Cyprus contract vs Lithuanian operations | Niet vermeld | Low HQ and affiliates are Lithuanian; EU paper is usually Hostinger International Ltd (Cyprus). Invoices may also be charged by other group entities. Confirm the contracting party before security review. |
| ISO 27001 certificate not independently verified here | Niet vermeld | Low The cert is claimed on the Trust Center but gated. Download it before treating ISO as verified. |
| Customer still owns CMS, guest OS, and backups | Niet vermeld | Medium VPS is unmanaged. Terms require you to keep your own backups even when Hostinger offers weekly copies. Shared and cloud plans are not HIPAA/PCI environments. |

When: You want German-operated dedicated servers, object storage, or more operator-centric VPS without a consumer website-builder overlay
Consider: Hetzner
Hetzner is in the catalog as German web hosting and cloud.
When: You need a large European public cloud with many regions and a stronger IaaS and public-sector posture
Consider: OVHcloud or IONOS
Both are catalog EU clouds; IONOS also covers consumer-style web hosting.
When: You need US-centric SMB WordPress hosting already familiar to North American agencies
Consider: GoDaddy or Bluehost
Different jurisdiction. Useful only if European contracting is not a filter.
