What is a VPS?
A VPS, or virtual private server, is a slice of a physical machine that behaves like a server of your own. It has its own memory, CPU and storage allocation, its own IP address, and its own operating system. Other customers on the same hardware cannot see your files or use your share.
The difference from shared hosting is what you are renting. On shared hosting you rent a space on someone else’s web server, set up their way. On a VPS you get the server and decide what runs on it.
When you actually need one
- Your app is not plain PHP. Node, Python, Go, Laravel queues, Docker: anything needing long-running processes or its own stack.
- You need a fixed IP. Bank and payment APIs often allowlist a single address, and every plan here comes with 1 IPv4 address.
- You run background work. Report generation, SMS queues, scraping or scheduled imports do not suit shared hosting limits.
- You host your own tools. An ERP, a CRM, automation software or a Git server, used by a team in Bangladesh.
Just running WordPress? You probably do not need one. Turbo Hosting gives you plenty of power without any server to maintain.
Why BDIX matters even more on a VPS
A website makes a few dozen requests and stops. An app talks constantly: every dashboard refresh, every API call, every keystroke in a live search is a separate round trip. If your users are in Bangladesh, a server in Dhaka takes the international leg out of every one of them. Run the ping race from your office and multiply the gap by the number of calls your app makes.
It also matters if your app talks to other services in Bangladesh. Keeping your server close to a local payment gateway, SMS provider or database reduces delay on both sides.
How to size a VPS
Memory is usually what runs out first, so start there:
| What you are running | Memory to look for |
|---|---|
| One small app and its database | 2 to 4 GB |
| A busy app, an ERP, or a large WordPress site | 4 to 8 GB |
| Several apps or Docker containers together | 8 GB or more |
These are starting points, not rules. Check what your app really uses on a test machine, and leave room for the database and the operating system.
What a VPS asks of you
A server you control is a server someone has to look after: keeping the operating system patched, setting up a firewall, watching disk space and keeping backups. Before you order, ask us exactly what is included and what is left to you, and make sure you have someone who is comfortable on a command line. If you do not, that is a good reason to choose Turbo instead.
