Deploy Locust in one click installation.
Scriptable Python load testing framework for simulating concurrent users with a real-time web dashboard.
What you can build with Locust
Locust is an open-source Python-based load testing tool that lets engineering teams define user behavior in plain Python code and replay millions of simultaneous requests against any HTTP or custom-protocol target. Unlike GUI-first tools, Locust scenarios are version-controlled scripts, making tests easy to review, parameterize, and integrate into CI/CD pipelines.
The built-in web UI shows live throughput, response time percentiles, and error rates as tests run, and lets you ramp users up or down in real time without restarting. Self-hosting Locust on your VPS keeps test traffic and credentials off third-party SaaS infrastructure and lets you co-locate the load generator close to the target system to minimize artificial network latency.
Key features of Locust
Python Locustfiles
Write test scenarios as plain Python classes with full access to the standard library and third-party packages, enabling version control and CI integration.
Real-Time Web Dashboard
Monitor requests per second, response time percentiles, and failure rates live in your browser, and adjust concurrent user counts without stopping the test.
Distributed Load Generation
Add worker nodes to coordinate load from multiple machines, scaling to millions of concurrent users with aggregate statistics collected centrally.
Any Protocol Support
Test REST APIs, WebSockets, gRPC, and custom TCP protocols by extending the base User class with any Python library.
Headless CI Mode
Run tests non-interactively with configurable pass/fail thresholds on failure rates and latency to gate deployments automatically in your pipeline.

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.
