What is Alpine Linux VPS hosting?

It’s a service that allows you to run the Alpine Linux operating system on a virtual private server (VPS). Hostinger’s Alpine Linux VPS hosting offers full root access, meaning you’ll have full control over the server configuration, security protocols, and software installation. This gives you the flexibility to customize and optimize the backend environment to your specific needs. Our virtual servers are also powered by AMD EPYC processors and NVMe SSD storage, ensuring minimal latency and flawless performance for your projects.

How to install Alpine Linux on a VPS?

At Hostinger, you simply need to buy a VPS hosting plan and choose the Alpine Linux OS during the setup process. That’s it – your Alpine Linux server is now up and running. Super easy, right? Once installed, you can access hPanel to perform all sorts of VPS management tasks, such as installing a licensed control panel, accessing our browser terminal, creating a custom firewall, and much more.

What is the difference between Alpine Linux and other Linux distributions?

Alpine Linux is much smaller in size compared to other Linux distributions – you only need 130 MB of free disk space to install it. This makes Alpine Linux ideal for environments with limited storage space, such as container-based applications.

How much RAM do I need for Alpine Linux?

The minimum requirement for Alpine Linux is around 128 MB of RAM. But you should aim for at least 256 MB of RAM to ensure optimal performance. Luckily, our VPS hosting plans offer between 4 to 32 GB of RAM, so you won’t have to worry about it.
