About

What is a Helipod LAMP VPS?

LAMP stands for Linux, Apache, MySQL/MariaDB and PHP, the server combination behind most PHP websites. On a Helipod LAMP VPS, all four are installed on Ubuntu 24.04.

It suits your own PHP site, an app built on a framework like Laravel or CodeIgniter, or a CMS of your choice. Upload files to /home/www/htdocs/dummy-host.example.com over SFTP or the terminal, and the site is reachable at the VPS IP.

A clean server without the setup work. You get a Linux server with root access like any VPS, except the web server, database and PHP are already installed and configured.

FAQ

LAMP VPS Questions

Short answers about uploading files, databases, domains, backups and payment.
Where do I upload my site files?
To /home/www/htdocs/dummy-host.example.com. Use SFTP (for example FileZilla) with your SSH access, or commands in the Terminal tab. The site is then available at http://VPS-IP.
How do I find the database password?
Open the Terminal tab in the Helipod dashboard and run the login command shown in the Application tab. It shows the MariaDB password you use to create your app's database and user.
Which ports are used?
Port 80 for HTTP and 443 for HTTPS. The Application tab lists them and can open them in the firewall in one click. SSH uses port 22.
Can I use my own domain with HTTPS?
Yes. Point your domain's A record to the VPS IP, set your domain as ServerName in the Apache config, then add a free Let's Encrypt certificate with Certbot for Apache. The Application tab has the guide.
Can I install PHP extensions or other software?
Yes. You have full root access on Ubuntu 24.04, so you can install PHP extensions, Composer, Git, Node.js or other tools with apt.
Are backups included?
Nightly off-site backups are a paid add-on from Rp 19.900/month. You can also take a snapshot before a big change. Backups are not included in the plan by default.
Where are the servers, and can I upgrade?
Indonesia (Jakarta), Singapore, Thailand (Bangkok), Japan (Tokyo) and South Korea (Seoul). Malaysia (Johor Bahru) is available for some apps only; the pricing table shows the plans in each region. You can upgrade to a bigger app plan later from the dashboard.
How do I pay?
Prices are in Rupiah. Pay monthly, or for 3, 6 or 12 months at once with a discount for longer periods.
