Hostinger VPS for Self-Hosting: Which Plan Is Enough?
Updated: 2026-03-20 • Category: VPS / OpenClaw
Direct answer: A small VPS (2 vCPU / 4GB RAM) is enough for a basic OpenClaw gateway. If you want an affordable option, a Hostinger VPS plan is a practical starting point for a single-user setup.
Recommended baseline VPS specs
- Minimum: 1 vCPU / 2GB RAM (testing only)
- Recommended: 2 vCPU / 4GB RAM (most small setups)
- Nice-to-have: 2–4 vCPU / 8GB RAM (more tools, more concurrency)
How to pick your plan (simple rules)
- If you run one gateway and keep it lean → 2 vCPU / 4GB.
- If you add browser automation or multiple agents → aim for 8GB.
- If you want zero surprises → buy a little more RAM than you think.

If you already know you need self-hosting or root access, start with a small plan and harden it before you pile more services on top.
