What you can build with Kong
Kong is the world's most widely deployed open-source API gateway, built on OpenResty (Nginx + LuaJIT) for sub-millisecond latency at scale. It sits in front of your services to handle authentication, rate limiting, traffic routing, and observability through a rich ecosystem of 50+ plugins — without changing your application code.
Running Kong on your own VPS gives you full control over API traffic, plugin configuration, and sensitive credentials without the usage-based pricing of managed API gateway services. This deployment includes PostgreSQL for persisting Kong's configuration and is ready for production API management from the moment it starts.
Key features of Kong
Centralized Authentication
Enforce OAuth 2.0, JWT, API keys, and HMAC authentication across all services from a single control point.
Rate Limiting
Protect upstream services from traffic spikes by setting per-consumer or global request rate limits with no code changes.
Plugin Ecosystem
Extend Kong with 50+ official plugins for logging, caching, transformations, and third-party integrations.
Admin GUI
Manage routes, services, consumers, and plugins through the built-in Kong Manager web interface on port 8002.
Multi-Protocol Support
Route HTTP, HTTPS, gRPC, WebSocket, and TCP traffic through a single gateway with protocol-aware load balancing.

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.
