What you can build with Etherpad
Etherpad is an open-source, web-based collaborative editor that enables multiple users to edit the same document simultaneously, with changes appearing instantly for all participants. Each contributor's text is color-coded, making it easy to see who wrote what. No registration or software installation is required — just share a link and start collaborating.
Self-hosting Etherpad on your VPS ensures sensitive documents never leave your own infrastructure. The included PostgreSQL backend provides reliable persistence and complete version history, while the extensible plugin system lets you add image support, task lists, and custom integrations tailored to your team's workflow.
Key features of Etherpad
Real-Time Co-Editing
Changes from every participant appear instantly with color-coded attribution, so teams can write together without merge conflicts or locking.
Full Version History
Every revision is stored with a timeline scrubber that lets you rewind and restore any earlier state of the document.
No Registration Required
Participants join pads via a shared URL without creating accounts, reducing friction for one-off collaboration with external guests.
Plugin Ecosystem
Extend Etherpad with plugins for image embedding, task lists, export formats, and tool integrations to fit your team's specific needs.
Admin Panel
Web-based admin interface lets you manage pads, monitor activity, and configure server settings without direct server access.

I'm incredibly happy with Hostinger's VPS hosting! Their uptime is consistently top-notch, keeping my site running smoothly. Whenever I've needed help, their technical support team has been quick, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful.
Everything is smooth and great with Hostinger, the AI chat bot + human chat, if AI can't resolve your question. Oh and them VPS is just fire, no ups and downs. Thank you dev team and everyone else involved. Keep it up 🚀
Finally a VPS hosting company that does it right! Well-priced. Excellent portal that respects their users' time. Seamless backups. Good support. Reliable. Feels rock-solid.
I reached out to Hostinger support after losing access to my self-hosted n8n instance, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Kodee and Mohammad from the support team were incredibly patient and thorough.
Many thanks to Carla for helping me with this N8N upgrade on my Hostinger VPS. Professional and knowledgeable, thank you again Carla.
Hostinger VPS is absolutely outstanding. It just always works. It is always fast and stable. Never down, never crashes.
The company is doing well, I am very happy with the specific services I use through them. Not as expensive as some places with really great VPS set ups and price plans.
