Hostinger supports the Browser terminal feature on all VPS plans! Browser Terminal makes it easy and convenient to manage your VPS via terminal commands inputted and executed right from the browser.
Accessing the Browser Terminal
To access the Browser terminal, log in to your hPanel and open the VPS section. Then, select the VPS you wish to manage by clicking on the arrow ❯ button next to it:
Once you access the VPS management dashboard, you'll find the Browser terminal button – click on it, and a new browser tab will open:
If your browser blocks pop-ups, the browser terminal will not load. To fix this, click on the pop-up blocked icon in your browser and make sure to change the setting to always allow pop-ups and redirects from hpanel.hostinger.com:
Once done, retry opening the browser terminal.
After a while, the page will load in a new browser tab and it will show the login prompt. Use your SSH user and password to log in as you would normally do when logging in via SSH:
That's it! You can now use the browser terminal to manage your VPS.
Common Issues and Troubleshooting
The Browser Terminal Loads but It’s Empty
Close the browser terminal, reboot your VPS from the VPS dashboard, and reopen the browser terminal.
Using the Browser Terminal From a Mobile Device
It’s generally not recommended to access this feature from your mobile device due to screen size restraints. If you’d like to manage your VPS from your mobile device, you can use SSH to log in to your VPS and run the commands using SSH from a mobile device client.

If you get this message, simply press the Enter key a few times until you get the prompt login for your VPS.
