Why Bulgaria

Sofia is our lowest-cost location. Bulgaria annulled blanket retention in 2015 and now requires per-request judicial authorisation. Good Frankfurt path at 34 ms, EU jurisdiction, and the best price per gigabyte of NVMe on the network.

  • Blanket retention provisions annulled as unconstitutional 2015
  • Retention now requires prior judicial authorisation per request 2015
  • Hosting liability exemption under the DSA regime 2024

The trade-off

Cheapest euro-adjacent capacity we operate and a real anti-retention precedent, but it is still an EU member state with full mutual-recognition obligations. Transit is thinner than Amsterdam.

§03 FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01 How much is a dedicated in Bulgaria?

At SOF-1 · Mladost in Sofia, dedicated servers cost from $46.00 monthly, with the top configuration at $1,190.00 per month. Each server comes with DDoS scrubbing, a routed IPv6 /64, and full root access.

02 Why choose Bulgaria for this?

Sofia has the best prices on our network. Bulgaria cancelled blanket data retention in 2015 and now needs a judicial order for each request. Ideal workloads: budget VPS fleets, CI runners, build farms, staging, and bulk EU storage.

03 What is the catch with Bulgaria?

It is the cheapest euro-adjacent capacity we run and a genuine anti-retention precedent. Still, Bulgaria remains an EU member with full mutual-recognition duties, and its transit is thinner than Amsterdam's.

04 Do you require identity verification in Bulgaria?

No – the token-only model is network-wide. Across all 16 locations, we never ask for name, email, phone, or ID, and settlement is crypto-only.
