What is Colocation Hosting?
Colocation means you own the physical server, but you place it in a datacenter rack instead of your office. The datacenter provides:
- Stable power with UPS and generator
- Cooling and physical security
- High-capacity internet connectivity
- Remote hands and monitoring
What is BDIX and Why It Matters
BDIX (Bangladesh Internet Exchange) lets local networks exchange traffic directly without going through international routes. For users in Bangladesh this means:
- Much lower latency to BDIX-hosted content
- Higher speeds for local streaming and downloads
- Lower upstream transit cost for ISPs
Benefits for ISPs
ISPs can host:
- Core services like DNS, CGNAT logs, management servers
- Caching servers, streaming servers, VoIP softswitches
- Customer portals and billing platforms
By placing them in a BDIX-enabled datacenter, you reduce latency and dependency on unstable office power.
Benefits for SaaS & Application Providers
If you are building software for Bangladeshi companies, local hosting gives:
- Faster response times for end-users
- Better data compliance and jurisdiction
- Direct peering with major ISPs and corporate networks
Colocation vs VPS vs Cloud
Each has a use case:
- VPS/Cloud: fast to start, flexible resources
- Colocation: full control over hardware, network and security
- Hybrid: mix of both depending on workload
