The rule that helps most: memory first

On a VPS, RAM is usually the first resource to run out. Every app you install holds part of it all the time. So the right question is how many apps will run at once and how much each one uses:

• One light app (a small n8n, a bot, a small API): 4 GB is usually enough.
• Several apps (n8n, a database, a panel like Coolify and a chatbot): 8 GB gives you headroom.
• Heavy loads (many executions at once, queues, big databases, busy sites): 16 GB or more.

KVM 1: to start and for light apps

KVM 1 is the plan to learn server administration, test an idea or run one light app. It gets tight when you add a management panel, a database and more than one app. Get KVM 1 with the code.

KVM 2: the balance for automations and several apps

KVM 2 doubles the memory of KVM 1 and is the plan Hostinger marks as most popular. It handles the most common VPS setup today: n8n in production, a database, a panel like Coolify or Portainer and one or two more apps. For agencies, it’s also the size that lets you separate clients without overspending. See VPS for agencies.

KVM 4 and KVM 8: for heavy loads

Pick KVM 4 when the server works hard at the same time: n8n in queue mode with several workers, many busy sites, big databases or a game server with many players. Get KVM 4 with the code. KVM 8 fits large operations that prefer one robust server (get KVM 8 with the code); for most projects, two smaller servers are safer, because one problem doesn’t take everything down.
