How to choose web hosting in Bangladesh (without getting burned)

Unlimited is never unlimited, and the cheapest plan is rarely the cheapest. A practical checklist for picking a host that will not embarrass you during your busiest week.

"Unlimited" is a marketing word

Every host that advertises unlimited storage enforces an inode limit instead — typically 200,000 to 500,000 files. A WordPress site with a few plugins uses 30,000. A busy WooCommerce store with years of order data can exceed 300,000. Ask for the inode limit in writing before you buy.

The three numbers that actually matter

  1. Entry processes / concurrent PHP workers. This is what makes a site show "500 error" under load, not disk space. Anything under 20 is a problem for a real store.
  2. I/O throughput. 1 MB/s vs 10 MB/s is the difference between a snappy dashboard and a frozen one.
  3. CPU cores actually guaranteed, not "burst".

Renewal pricing is the real price

A plan advertised at ৳99/month that renews at ৳499/month costs you ৳5,988 in year two. Always compute two years of total cost, not the first-year promo.

Check where the server actually is

A host claiming "Bangladesh servers" may be reselling a Singapore node. Run a traceroute or simply ping the IP from your phone on a local network — under 10ms means Dhaka, 40–60ms means Singapore, 150ms+ means Europe or the US.

Support you can actually reach

Ask a pre-sales question on WhatsApp at 11pm before you pay. The answer time you get as a prospect is the best case; support after you have paid is rarely faster.
