Sofia, Bulgaria — gateway between continents

VPS in BulgariaWhere East meets Westand your packets find their shortest path

Bulgaria is the quiet pivot of the Balkan internet — the routing point where Frankfurt, Istanbul, Athens and Bucharest converge in milliseconds. We put your VPS in the middle of all of them, in a Sofia carrier-neutral facility wired into BIX.BG, the country's main internet exchange.

Why our customers picked Sofia

Three things that the brochure of the average western European DC quietly omits.

01

Latency you can write SLOs against

Our Sofia rack is a single AS-hop away from BIX.BG, which connects domestic and trans-Balkan networks without the long detour through Frankfurt. For a customer base in Romania, Greece, Turkey, Serbia or North Macedonia, that one routing decision is usually the difference between 'snappy' and 'fine, I guess'.

02

Real EU jurisdiction without German prices

Bulgaria has been an EU member since 2007 — full GDPR, full data sovereignty, full e-invoicing — at a cost basis that lets us price 1 GB of RAM at the same level as our cheapest German plan. You're not trading legal certainty for a discount; you're trading geography for it.

03

A diversification that actually diversifies

If your primary VPS already lives in Frankfurt, Amsterdam or Helsinki, adding Sofia gives you a node on a different optical path, behind a different transit mix, in a different power grid. That's what redundancy looks like — not 'two regions of AWS that go down at the same time'.

VPS in Bulgaria — FAQ

What area does the Sofia location cover?

Sofia gives solid coverage of the whole Balkan region: Bulgaria, Serbia, North Macedonia, Romania and Greece are all close by network distance, with clean routes onward to Turkey and Central Europe.

Who is a Bulgarian VPS the right choice for?

Projects with a Southeast European audience and anyone who wants an EU-jurisdiction server at a competitive price. Regional media, e-commerce and game communities are the typical use cases.

Does EU data protection apply in Bulgaria?

Yes. Bulgaria is an EU member state, so GDPR applies in full. You get Balkan connectivity without leaving the European legal framework.

What hardware do the plans run on?

The same stack as all NetGrid locations: NVMe storage, a 1 Gbps network port with unlimited traffic, DDoS protection and a 99.9% uptime SLA. RAM options span 1 GB to 32 GB — current prices are in the table above.

How fast is the setup?

About 60 seconds from payment to a running server. Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux are available at order time, with full root access and OS reinstall from the panel.
