Who hosts in Sofia
Why put a server in Bulgaria?
Sofia is the EU at the edge of the Balkans. The physics floor is 5 ms to Athens, 5 ms to Istanbul and 9 ms to Rome, and the city has three exchanges: NetIX with 136 networks, BIX.BG with 128 and B-IX with 55.
Bulgaria joined the EU in 2007, Schengen in 2025 and the euro on 1 January 2026. The GDPR applies alongside Bulgaria’s Personal Data Protection Act, supervised by the Commission for Personal Data Protection.
It is also our answer for public sites aimed at Turkey. Sites hosted inside Turkey can be blocked for Turkish users; from Sofia you keep Istanbul close, under EU law.

The fastest a round trip from Sofia could ever be: light in fibre covers about 200 km per millisecond, over the straight-line distance. Real routes are longer and add equipment, so expect more. We only suggest another location when it saves at least 10 ms, and some neighbouring countries don’t connect directly, so a closer location can still be slower. Hourly billing makes it cheap to test both.

Bulgaria questions
Before you pick Sofia.
Is Sofia good for users in Turkey and Greece?
Yes. The physics floor is 5 ms to Istanbul and 5 ms to Athens. For a public site aimed at Turkey, it keeps you close without hosting inside Turkey.
Should I pick Bulgaria or Romania?
For Greece, Sofia is a little closer (5 ms against 7 ms from Bucharest). For Poland, Bucharest is (9 ms against 11 ms). Both are in the EU.
Which data protection rules apply in Bulgaria?
The GDPR plus the Personal Data Protection Act, supervised by the Commission for Personal Data Protection.
Is Bulgaria a no-takedown location?
No. Bulgaria applies EU law, including the Digital Services Act, which requires hosting providers to run a notice-and-action process for reports of illegal content. Reports are checked against our acceptable use policy and the law where the server is.
Does a server here cost more than in other countries?
No. Every plan costs the same in all 15 of our countries, with the same traffic allowance, billed by the hour and never more than the monthly price.
