Answer
Bucharest storage servers start at $17.00 per month at the OTP-1 · Pipera facility.

Why Romania
Romania is the only EU jurisdiction where the constitutional court struck down mandatory data retention twice, in 2009 and again in 2014, and refused the replacement bill. It combines that precedent with EU-grade connectivity and the lowest cost per core in our EU footprint.
- Data-retention law struck down as unconstitutional — twice 2014
- Follow-up retention bill also declared unconstitutional 2014
- Hosting liability exemption under the DSA regime 2024
The trade-off
EU membership means EU instruments — European Investigation Orders reach Bucharest. What Romania gives you is a constitutional court that has twice refused to let the state retain communications data, plus very good price-per-core.
