Deploy HFS in one click installation.
Self-hosted HTTP file server that lets you share files directly from your disk through a modern web interface.
What you can build with HFS
HFS (HTTP File Server) is a lightweight, self-hosted file sharing server that turns your VPS into a fully functional file sharing hub accessible from any browser. It provides a clean, responsive web interface for browsing, downloading, and uploading files without requiring any client software installation.
With built-in user accounts, per-folder access control, bandwidth throttling, and a virtual file system, HFS gives you complete control over who can access which files. Self-hosting on your own VPS means unlimited storage and bandwidth with no monthly per-user fees.
Key features of HFS
Virtual file system
Organize shared content into a virtual folder structure independent of your actual disk layout, giving you full control over what users see.
User accounts and permissions
Create accounts with per-folder read, write, and delete permissions so different users access only the files they are authorized to see.
Resumable uploads and downloads
Supports resumable transfers so large file operations survive network interruptions without starting over from scratch.
Bandwidth throttling
Set upload and download speed limits per user or globally to keep your server responsive even during heavy file transfers.
Plugin system
Extend HFS with community plugins for thumbnails, LDAP authentication, anti-brute-force protection, themes, and more.

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. 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.
