AIC Cloud vs Hostinger VPS

Where Hostinger is stronger
KVM on the entry VPS. Hostinger's VPS plans are fully virtualised out of the box. AIC Cloud's standard plans are containers with full root access — ideal for most Linux websites, APIs and apps — and KVM is a ₹49/month option. If you need Windows, a custom kernel or nested Docker, compare against our KVM price of ₹598/month.
If you will commit for years. Hostinger's lowest prices are tied to long prepaid terms. If you are certain you will keep the same server for four years and are comfortable paying up front, a long-term deal may work out cheaper per month than a monthly plan.
Brand and breadth. Hostinger is a large, well-known company with a broad product range beyond VPS, which some buyers prefer to have under one roof.
Where AIC Cloud wins
No renewal surprise. Our ₹549/month 4 GB plan renews at ₹549/month. On the figures above, a Hostinger KVM 1 goes from ₹599 to ₹999 at renewal — the price you budget for in year one is not the price you pay later.
More vCPU at 4 GB. Our 4 GB plan has 2 vCPU and 40 GB NVMe, against 1 vCPU on Hostinger's KVM 1.
Monthly, no lock-in. Pay month to month and stop when you want. If you prefer to prepay, 6-month terms save 5% and 12-month terms save 10% — at the same base price.
India locations you choose. Pick Mumbai or Delhi NCR (Noida) at checkout, same price in both. See Mumbai and Noida.
Small sizes and flexible payment. Plans start at 1 GB for ₹149/month, with no GST added. Pay by UPI, card, net banking, PayPal or crypto wallet top-up.
Which should you choose?
Choose Hostinger if you want KVM on the cheapest plan, prefer a large all-in-one brand, and are happy to commit to a long prepaid term to lock in their lowest rate.
Choose AIC Cloud if you want predictable monthly pricing that does not rise at renewal, more vCPU at 4 GB, servers in Mumbai or Delhi NCR, and rupee billing without a long contract. If you need Windows, our Windows VPS runs on KVM from 4 GB.
