What domain and hosting actually costs in Bangladesh
The real price, not the headline price
There is a reason small business owners in Dhaka keep asking, "domain and hosting koto taka?" and getting five different answers. Some local providers quote 999 BDT for the first year, then quietly renew at 3,500 BDT. Others bundle a free domain that you cannot transfer out. A few resell shared hosting from a cPanel reseller in Lahore and disappear when the server goes down at 2 AM. The headline price is rarely the price you actually pay over three years.
I am RH Fardin, a solo website designer and developer based in Bangladesh. After roughly five years of building sites for businesses across the country, I have set up domains and hosting hundreds of times, mostly as part of a website project. So I see the back end of every major BD and international registrar and host, and I know which ones renew clean, which ones lock you in, and which ones throttle your site at peak traffic to push you onto a more expensive plan.
When you work with me, the domain and hosting line on your invoice is not a profit centre. I pass through the real cost from the registrar or host (Namecheap, Cloudflare, Hostinger, Exonhost, or your own preferred provider) and add a small one-time setup charge to configure DNS, SSL, email forwarding, and the basic security hardening that almost every BD provider ships without. You see exactly what the .com or .com.bd costs, what the hosting costs, and what my setup time costs. No bundling tricks.
Most clients who ask about domain and hosting price BD are really asking two questions at once: "How much for a working website?" and "How much per year to keep it alive?" I answer both up front. Web design itself starts at 50,000 BDT (tiers at 50,000 / 90,000 / 1,50,000 BDT, custom builds from 3,00,000 BDT), with 50% advance and 50% on launch. Domain and hosting are a separate, transparent line item on top of that.
