Hostinger VPS

Hostinger is a budget VPS provider with cloud-init support and REST API provisioning. Starting at $4.95/month for 1 vCPU + 4GB RAM instances with hourly billing.

Quick Start

Each script provisions a Hostinger VPS, installs the agent, injects OpenRouter credentials, and drops you into an interactive session.
