What is Plex hosting?

Plex hosting is a specialized VPS service that comes with the pre-installed Ubuntu 22.04 and Plex media server template. It enables you to watch movies, videos, and listen to music from any device, anywhere. Plus, you can customize your Plex server by installing additional software. For example, install plugins to get subtitles in various languages.

How to set up a Plex server?

First, you need to create an account on the Plex website. Then, connect your server to this account and start uploading your media. For complete instructions, refer to our guide on setting up the Plex VPS template .

Are Plex servers legal?

Absolutely. Plex server hosting is completely legal; however, you need to make sure you don’t infringe any copyright or trademark laws. Simply put, using Plex is legal as long as you upload files you have the right to use.

Can I share my Plex server files with others?

Yes, you are free to share your music, movies, videos, and other files with your family and friends.

What should I consider when choosing a hosting provider for Plex?

When choosing your server host for Plex, you should consider pricing and resources, especially storage. Hostinger customers get top-notch security measures, such as DDoS protection, a malware scanner for detecting and removing malicious files, built-in firewall configuration to prevent unwanted traffic, and automatic backups to restore files in case of emergency. You can also take a snapshot before making any major changes. When it comes to resources, we offer four Plex VPS hosting plans.
