Technical guides & hosting tips
An online store is the one website where hosting directly affects revenue: a slow product page or a failed checkout is a lost order. This guide explains what WooCommerce stores in Bangladesh actually need from hosting and how to size it.

| Need | Why it matters | What to look for |
|---|---|---|
| RAM and CPU | Cart, checkout and admin are not cached | 2 GB RAM / 2 cores minimum for a new store |
| Fast storage and web server | Many product images and database queries | NVMe + LiteSpeed with LSCache for WooCommerce |
| SSL | Required by payment gateways and browsers | Free SSL on every domain |
| Backups | Orders and stock change every day | Daily backups with self-restore |
| Local speed | Most Bangladeshi buyers are on mobile data | BDIX if customers are in Bangladesh |
| Security | Stores are attack targets | Malware scanning (e.g. Imunify360), account isolation |
| Support | Problems during a sale cost money | Fast WhatsApp/phone support |
| Store size | Products / orders | Recommended resources |
|---|---|---|
| New store | Up to a few hundred products, few orders a day | 2 GB RAM, 2 cores, 10 GB NVMe |
| Growing store | Daily orders, running Facebook ads | 4 GB RAM, 4 cores, 20 GB NVMe |
| Busy store | Large catalog, campaign spikes | 6 GB RAM, 6 cores, 30–50 GB NVMe |
| Very large / multi-store | Thousands of products, custom features | BDIX VPS with 4–6 GB+ RAM |
| E-commerce shared hosting | VPS | |
|---|---|---|

| Plan | NVMe | Websites | RAM / CPU | Monthly |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Go | 10 GB | 5 | 2 GB / 2 cores | ৳350 |
| Core | 20 GB | 8 | 4 GB / 4 cores | ৳590 |
| Growth | 30 GB | 12 | 6 GB / 6 cores | ৳790 |
| Boost | 50 GB | 16 | 6 GB / 6 cores | ৳1,220 |
All include free SSL, daily cPanel backups, LiteSpeed and Imunify360. See plans.
For most Bangladeshi online stores, e-commerce shared hosting with 2–4 GB RAM, NVMe, LiteSpeed, SSL and daily backups is the right start; add BDIX for local buyers and move to a VPS only when the store outgrows it.

Choose hosting with enough RAM and CPU for checkout traffic (2 GB+ for a new WooCommerce store), NVMe and LiteSpeed, free SSL, daily backups and, if your customers are local, BDIX connectivity.
A new store with a few hundred products runs well with 2 GB. A growing store with daily orders and ads needs 4 GB, and a large catalog or several stores 6 GB or a VPS.
Yes. Payment gateway plugins for bKash, Nagad and SSLCommerz work on WooCommerce. Your hosting must have SSL, which most local hosts include free.
For new and growing stores, yes, if the plan has enough RAM and CPU. Move to a VPS when you regularly hit resource limits or run very large catalogs.
If most customers are in Bangladesh, yes: faster product pages and checkout, and stability during submarine cable problems.
WooCommerce runs on your own hosting, works with local gateways and couriers, and has no monthly platform fee. Shopify is hosted for you but charges in dollars and depends on apps for local gateways.
