How to Set Up CyberPanel on Hostinger KVM VPS in 10 Minutes

A step-by-step guide for beginners.

CyberPanel is a popular, free, and open-source web hosting control panel that's known for its speed and lightweight nature. In this guide, we'll walk you through setting it up on a Hostinger KVM VPS. This tutorial assumes you have a Hostinger account and have purchased a KVM VPS plan.

The "Bridge" to Your First Sale

To follow this guide, you'll need the KVM 2 plan (which includes the 1-click installer I'm using here). This plan provides the perfect balance of resources for running CyberPanel smoothly.

Get the Hostinger KVM 2 Plan

Step 1: Log in to Your Hostinger Account

Once you've purchased your KVM 2 plan, log in to your Hostinger hPanel. Navigate to the "VPS" section and select your new server.

Step 2: Choose Your Operating System

In your VPS management dashboard, you'll see an option to choose an operating system. Select "Ubuntu 22.04 with CyberPanel". This will automatically install the OS with CyberPanel, saving you a lot of time.

Step 3: Access Your CyberPanel Dashboard

Once the installation is complete (it usually takes a few minutes), you'll receive an email with your CyberPanel login details. The URL will be something like `https://:8090`.

Log in with the provided username and password. You'll be prompted to change your password on your first login.

Step 4: Create Your First Website

From the CyberPanel dashboard, navigate to "Websites" > "Create Website". Fill in the details for your domain, select the PHP version, and check the boxes for SSL and other features you need. Click "Create Website" and you're done!
