Use this tool when you need the Hostinger operation Start virtual machine. Start a specified virtual machine. If the virtual machine is already running, the request will still be processed without any effect. Use this endpoint to power on stopped VPS instances. It calls POST /api/vps/v1/virtual-machines/{virtualMachineId}/start against the configured Hostinger account. This changes external Hostinger state and requires confirm=true. Provider parameters: virtualMachineId (path, required): Virtual Machine ID The body follows the complete Hostinger schema in inputSchema. Do not place API tokens in arguments; credentials arrive only through protected Portal headers. The result is the normalized Hostinger MCP envelope with data, safe error details, HTTP/rate metadata, and pagination metadata when available.
