Sofia · SOF-1 · Mladost

Servers in Bulgaria

Low-cost EU edge

Answer

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.

§01 Legal dossier

What Bulgaria law actually says

Each claim below names the instrument behind it and the year it took effect, so you can verify it rather than trust us.

  1. 01

    Blanket retention provisions annulled as unconstitutional

    Instrument · 2015
    Constitutional Court Decision No. 2 of 12 Mar 2015, case 8/2014

  2. 02

    Retention now requires prior judicial authorisation per request

    Instrument · 2015
    Electronic Communications Act, Art. 251b as amended post-2015

  3. 03

    Hosting liability exemption under the DSA regime

    Instrument · 2024
    EU Digital Services Act (Reg. 2022/2065), Art. 6

  4. 04

    Not a member of any Eyes intelligence-sharing tier

    Instrument · 2024
    No documented SIGINT Seniors participation

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.

Measured latency

Round-trip in milliseconds, measured from Sofia over the last 30 days.

Frankfurt 34 ms
Amsterdam 38 ms
London 47 ms
New York 118 ms
Singapore 143 ms

Network
BIX.BG + Balkan-IX; transit via Neterra and Cogent, direct path to Frankfurt.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01 Is Bulgaria a good place to host a server?

Sofia is the cheapest location we run. Bulgaria struck down blanket retention in 2015 and now needs a judge’s order for each request. It routes to Frankfurt in 34 ms and offers the best NVMe price per gigabyte on the network. The full trade-off is right here, not glossed over.

02 Does Bulgaria have mandatory data retention?

Blanket retention was annulled as unconstitutional in Constitutional Court Decision No. 2 of 12 Mar 2015, case 8/2014 (2015).

03 Is Bulgaria in Five Eyes or the EU?

Bulgaria is not documented as part of any Eyes intelligence-sharing tier. It is an EU member, so European Investigation Orders and DSA obligations apply.

04 What latency should I expect from Sofia?

Measured round-trip times: Frankfurt 34 ms, London 47 ms, Amsterdam 38 ms, New York 118 ms, Singapore 143 ms. A looking glass is live at lg-sof.incognitovps.com.
