What you can build with LMS
LMS (Lightweight Music Server) is an open-source self-hosted music streaming server written in C++ that exposes your personal music library through a fast web UI and a Subsonic-compatible API. It indexes a folder of audio files, extracts metadata and cover art, and lets you stream from any browser or any of the dozens of mobile and desktop apps that already speak the Subsonic protocol.
Self-hosting LMS on your own VPS keeps your music collection and listening history inside your own infrastructure instead of a streaming SaaS that mines listening data. The C++ runtime is small enough to fit on modest VPS plans, and the Subsonic API means existing favourite clients like substreamer, DSub, Symfonium, Sublime Music, and play:Sub work out of the box without writing custom integrations.
Key features of LMS
Subsonic-compatible API
Works with the broad ecosystem of Subsonic clients on iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, and Linux without any custom adapter.
Smart recommendations
Builds clusters of similar artists and tracks from tags and listening history to power autoplay, radio mode, and discovery.
Last.fm scrobbling
Scrobbles plays to Last.fm or self-hosted alternatives like Maloja, keeping a unified listening history across devices.
Multi-user accounts
Each user gets their own playlists, ratings, listening history, and starred tracks while sharing the same underlying library.
Read-only library mount
The music directory is mounted read-only so the server cannot accidentally modify your audio files during scans or transcoding.

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.
