How to use the ServerAvatar Lite template

Getting started with ServerAvatar Lite VPS template on Hostinger

Updated today

ServerAvatar Lite is a lightweight and user-friendly server management tool designed to simplify deploying and managing PHP applications such as WordPress, Laravel, and other frameworks. The "Ubuntu 24.04 with ServerAvatar Lite" VPS template from Hostinger comes with ServerAvatar Lite pre-installed, providing an effortless way to get your web server online with Nginx and MariaDB already configured.

Installation Requirements

To ensure successful integration with ServerAvatar Lite, the following requirements must be met:

  • Unique IP Address: Your server’s public IP must not already be linked to another ServerAvatar account. Reusing an IP that’s still registered will cause the installation to fail.

  • Unique Username: ServerAvatar requires each user account to have a unique username. Hostinger automatically assigns a random, unique username for each installation. If the selected username is already used, ServerAvatar will auto-generate a new one.

Accessing ServerAvatar control panel

Once your VPS is deployed using this template, you can manage your server through the ServerAvatar control panel at:

ServerAvatar login screen

To log in, you can use the username provided in the VPS dashboard and the password you set during the template installation. If the provided username had already been taken, ServerAvatar may have automatically assigned a different available one. In such cases, you can retrieve the correct login credentials by checking the serveravatar_info.txt file generated on your server after installation. You can view this file through the browser-based terminal in hPanel using:

cat /serveravatar_info.txt

This file contains essential details, including:

  • Final setup instructions

  • Control panel username and password

Reinstallation Notes

If you decide to reinstall the VPS using this template, you must first disconnect the existing server from ServerAvatar. To do this:

  1. Log in to your ServerAvatar account.

  2. Go to Settings → Disconnect Server to unlink your current VPS.

After completing this step, you can reinstall the template without errors using the same IP address.
