Legal posture
Bulgaria is in the EU, so the Digital Services Act governs what we do with a complaint here, exactly as it does in Bucharest and Amsterdam. Unsubstantiated noise stays informational. But a notice that meets the Art. 16(2) bar hands us actual knowledge, and from that moment "we only move on a Bulgarian court order" would be a description of a liability shield we no longer have.

Bulgaria VPS FAQ
How much does a VPS in Bulgaria cost?
A Sofia VPS starts at $2.90 per month for 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 25 GB NVMe and 2 TB of transfer. The Standard configuration — 3 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 90 GB NVMe — is $8.90 per month. Bulgaria carries a price index of ×1.00 against our Amsterdam baseline, reflecting real differences in transit and facility cost.
A sports broadcaster's anti-piracy contractor emails us about your Sofia server. What happens?
You have probably read that an EU server ignores the DMCA. Half of that is right, and the wrong half is the half that decides things.
As a United States instrument that letter does nothing here: Bulgaria gives us no takedown clock to run and no counter-notice to file. But we are established inside the Union, and the Union has an answer of its own. The Digital Services Act obliges every hosting provider here to accept a complaint and deal with it, and once one carries the detail Art. 16(2) sets out we are treated as knowing what it says — with Art. 6(1) withdrawing our liability exemption if we then sit on it.
So: we read it, we tell you what arrived and who sent it, and you get a real opportunity to answer before anything touches your server. What we cannot tell you is that only an order from a Bulgarian court will ever move us, because inside the Union that describes a shield we do not have. If you want a letter that lands with nothing at all behind it, that is Iceland, Moldova, Panama or Seychelles.
Do I need ID to buy a VPS in Bulgaria?
No. NimbusVPS applies the same policy in every location: no identity document, no phone number, no proof of address and no payment card. An email address and a cryptocurrency payment are all that is required, and Bulgaria imposes no additional customer-identification obligation on hosting providers.
What is the latency to Sofia?
Typical round-trip times from Frankfurt 30 ms, Bucharest 9 ms, Istanbul 17 ms, Amsterdam 36 ms. The site runs on a 40 Gbps uplink at Telepoint Sofia, a Tier III facility. The address printed in the latency panel above is a documentation example, not something you can ping yet; the panel says so and explains when the live target goes up.
What data retention law applies in Bulgaria?
Bulgaria kept a retention rule after the EU directive fell: Art. 251b of the Electronic Communications Act obliges undertakings providing public electronic communications networks and services to hold traffic data for six months. It is aimed at carriers, not at a customer's VPS, and it does not reach into a machine we keep no access logs for. Independently of local law, NimbusVPS operates 0-day access log retention — logs are not kept — and holds no identity data to retain in the first place.
Other jurisdictions
