Why Athens
Why host a VPS in Athens?
Athens is Greece's capital and main network hub, and Greece sits where Southern Europe meets the Middle East and North Africa. Several submarine cables land on Greek islands, which supports routes toward the Eastern Mediterranean.
A server in Athens keeps data inside the EU and gives Greek and Cypriot users a local route, which matters for tourism, shipping and retail businesses that sell to them.
You can also browse all VPS locations or check the prices for every plan before you decide.
Who it reaches
From Athens you serve Greece and Cyprus directly, and reach Bulgaria, North Macedonia, Albania and Turkey over short links. Egypt, Israel and Lebanon are reachable across the Mediterranean, and Western Europe is a few extra hops away.
Data and privacy
GDPR and the Hellenic DPA. A server in Greece stores data inside the EU under GDPR. The Hellenic Data Protection Authority supervises compliance in the country.

Questions
Greece VPS FAQ
Does a Greece VPS also serve Cyprus?
Yes. Athens has direct routes to Cyprus, so a Greek server serves both markets, and the shared language helps a single site cover them.
Is Athens a good bridge between Europe and the Middle East?
It can be, since it sits at the Eastern Mediterranean edge of the EU. For Gulf audiences a server in the UAE or Saudi Arabia is closer, so check where your users are.
Can I host a hotel or tour booking site on an Athens VPS?
Yes. Root access lets you install a booking engine, database and cache, and move to a larger plan when the season brings more traffic.
How much does a VPS in Greece cost?
A VPS in Greece 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 Greece 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 Athens?
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.
