Why Istanbul
Why host a VPS in Istanbul?
Istanbul is Turkey's largest city and straddles two continents, which makes it a natural meeting point for networks from Europe, the Middle East and Central Asia. A server here suits applications with a mixed audience.
Turkey has its own large internet market and a strong e-commerce sector. A local server gives Turkish users a direct route and keeps their data in the country.
See how this fits with the rest of our VPS hosting, and compare the other locations we run.
Who it reaches
From Istanbul you serve Turkey, then Bulgaria, Greece and the Balkans to the west, and Georgia, Azerbaijan and the Middle East to the east. Gulf users are closer to a server in the UAE or Saudi Arabia.
Data and privacy

Questions
Turkey VPS FAQ
Is an Istanbul VPS good for both Europe and the Middle East?
It is a good compromise for mixed audiences, since Istanbul has short routes in both directions. If one side dominates, a server in Germany or the UAE may be closer to that audience.
Can I host a Turkish-language site on an Istanbul VPS?
Yes. A VPS runs any stack you install, so you can serve Turkish content, install the right locale and tune the database for local users.
How much does a VPS in Turkey cost?
A VPS in Turkey 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 Turkey 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 Istanbul?
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.
