The platform creates the server as a VPS through the Hostinger API in your own account. Unlike with Hetzner, you do not pick plan, data center, and operating system from a list but enter the IDs Hostinger assigns to them. You store the API token once as a credential and select it when creating the server.
1. Generate an API token in hPanel
- Sign in to the Hostinger hPanel.
- Generate a new API token in the API settings of your account.
- Copy the token so you can paste it in the next step.
2. Store the token in the platform
- In the platform, open Servers → Manage credentials.
- Create a new credential of type Hostinger API and paste the token.
- Save. The platform validates the token right away; if it is rejected, check that you copied it completely.
3. Create the VPS
- Open Servers → Add server and choose Hostinger server.
- Select the API credential you created in the previous step.
- Set a name and a server ID. The server ID is a slug, a short identifier without spaces or special characters.
- Enter the three Hostinger-specific values. The VPS plan ID determines which VPS plan is created, the data center ID picks the data center, and the OS template ID selects the operating system image. You find the valid IDs in your Hostinger account or in the Hostinger API and Terraform reference.
- Confirm. The platform creates the VPS in your Hostinger account, generates a dedicated SSH key for it, and sets up deploy access.
The server is then available when creating or editing projects. Hostinger bills the VPS costs directly to you; the platform only creates the server inside your account. To make the project reachable under a name of your own, continue with the domain.
