## 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.

**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.

## Legal basis

| Claim | Instrument | Year |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Data-retention law struck down as unconstitutional — twice | Constitutional Court Decision 1258/2009 and Decision 440/2014 | 2014 |
| Follow-up retention bill also declared unconstitutional | Constitutional Court Decision 461/2014 on Law 82/2012 replacement | 2014 |
| Hosting liability exemption under the DSA regime | EU Digital Services Act (Reg. 2022/2065), Art. 6 | 2024 |
| Not a member of any Eyes intelligence-sharing tier | No documented SIGINT Seniors participation | 2024 |

## Frequently asked questions

### How much is a vps in Romania?

Monthly pricing starts at $4.00 at OTP-1 · Pipera and tops out at $104.00 for the largest configuration. That includes DDoS scrubbing, a routed IPv6 /64, and full root access.

### Why choose Romania for this?

Romania is the only EU member where the constitutional court twice struck down mandatory data retention, in 2009 and 2014, and refused a replacement bill. That record combines with EU-grade connectivity and the cheapest per-core cost in our EU footprint. It suits price-sensitive European workloads, node hosting, Windows RDP, and GPU inference at EU latency.

### What is the catch with Romania?

EU membership does apply: European Investigation Orders can reach Bucharest. The practical difference is that Romania's constitutional court rejected data-retention laws twice, so communications data enjoys stronger constitutional protection here.

### Do you require identity verification in Romania?

No. In all 16 locations we follow the same token-only model: no name, email, phone, or ID at any point, and settlement exclusively in cryptocurrency.
