Why Sofia
Why host a VPS in Sofia?
Sofia is Bulgaria's capital and its network centre, with good connections across Eastern Europe and the Balkans. The country is an EU member, so a server here keeps data inside the union.
Bulgaria sits between Romania, Greece, Turkey and Serbia, which makes Sofia a practical base for projects that serve several of those markets from one location.

Who it reaches
From Sofia you serve Bulgaria directly and reach Romania, North Macedonia, Serbia and Greece on short routes. Istanbul is a short hop to the east, and Western Europe is reachable, though Frankfurt is faster for Germany and France.

Questions
Bulgaria VPS FAQ
Is a Bulgaria VPS good for the Balkans?
Yes. Sofia has short routes to Serbia, North Macedonia, Romania and Greece, so a Bulgarian server serves the region well and stays inside the EU.
Why choose Sofia over Frankfurt?
Sofia is closer to Eastern and South-Eastern Europe, while Frankfurt is better for Western and Central Europe. Choose by the home of most of your users.
Can I host a Cyrillic-language site on a Bulgaria VPS?
Yes. A VPS runs any stack you install, so serving Bulgarian or other Cyrillic content needs only the right encoding and fonts.
How much does a VPS in Bulgaria cost?
A VPS in Bulgaria starts at $14.99 per month for 1 core and 2 GB of RAM and goes up to $319.99 per month for 16 cores and 64 GB. Every location uses the same plans and prices, and the price stays the same on renewal.
Which operating systems can I use on the Bulgaria VPS?
Linux (Ubuntu, Debian and AlmaLinux) and Windows Server. Pick one when you order, and reinstall a different one later from the control panel.
Are backups included with a VPS in Sofia?
No. Snapshots and backups are not included, so copy important data off the server on a schedule and test a restore. You have full root or administrator access to set up the tool you prefer.
