What is Appwrite VPS hosting?

Appwrite is an open-source backend-as-a-service (BaaS) platform, meaning you can host it on your own server and network. But since self-hosting can be quite expensive, not to mention time-consuming, many VPS providers offer a much easier and more affordable solution in the form of Appwrite VPS hosting. At Hostinger, for instance, you simply have to choose a plan based on your needs, install the Ubuntu 24.04 with Appwrite template, and start developing your apps. When your project grows and you need more server resources, you can easily upgrade your plan in just a few clicks. Easy right?

How do I install Appwrite on my VPS?

When you buy a Hostinger VPS plan, you can install the Appwrite template during the onboarding process: Choose a VPS server location. Open the Application tab and select Ubuntu 22.04 with Appwrite . Create a root password or add an SSH key to log in to your VPS. Click Finish setup . Next, read our guide on how to use the Appwrite VPS template to access Appwrite and create a new application.

What are the system requirements for running Appwrite on a VPS?

To run Appwrite, you need a VPS that offers 2 CPU cores, 4GB of RAM, and 2 GB of swap memory at minimum. The operating system should also support Docker Compose Version 2. Hostinger’s KVM 2 plan is perfect for this, as it comes with 2 vCPU cores, 8 GB of RAM, and 100 GB NVMe disk space. Our VPS also runs on Linux operating systems, which support Docker.

Is Appwrite better than Firebase?

The answer will depend on your specific needs. If you prefer a mature ecosystem backed by Google, Firebase is definitely the better option. But if you value the freedom, flexibility, and pricing affordability that come with using an open-source platform, then Appwrite is the right choice.

How secure is Appwrite?

Appwrite uses Argon2, an award-winning password hashing algorithm, to protect your backend against brute force attacks. When a user logs in using a weaker or outdated hashing method, the password will be automatically re-hashed using Argon2 to maintain a high level of security. Other security features include user access control, session limits, and mock phone numbers for secure SMS authentication testing. When you host Appwrite with Hostinger VPS, you will also get a built-in firewall, advanced DDoS protection, and an automatic malware scanner.
