Deploy 9router in one-click installation.
AI API routing proxy that reduces token costs and distributes requests across 40+ LLM providers automatically.
What you can build with 9router
9router is a self-hosted AI API proxy that sits between your AI coding tools and any LLM provider. It exposes an OpenAI-compatible endpoint so tools like Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, and Copilot connect without reconfiguration. The RTK Token Saver compresses large tool outputs — git diffs, grep results, directory trees — before they reach the model, cutting input tokens by 20–40% per request. Automatic fallback routing cascades through subscription, budget, and free-tier providers in priority order when quotas are hit.
Self-hosting 9router on your VPS keeps all provider credentials and routing rules under your control. You manage accounts through a web dashboard, set per-model token budgets, and distribute requests across multiple accounts with round-robin scheduling — reducing costs without touching your AI tool configurations.

I reached out to Hostinger support after losing access to my self-hosted n8n instance, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Hostinger Agent 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.
