VPS hosting in Moldova
Moldova sits outside the EU and outside direct US process, while staying a short hop from the major European exchanges. It is the widest jurisdictional gap we offer in Europe, and the legal note below sets out what that gap does and does not cover.

Legal posture
Moldova does not enforce foreign copyright judgments, and a US notice reaches us here with no legal force of its own. What it is not is unreachable: Moldova and the United States are both parties to the Budapest Convention on Cybercrime, which opens a formal mutual-assistance channel for electronic evidence between them. Anything that lands still has to be run through Moldovan process.

Moldova VPS FAQ
How much does a VPS in Moldova cost?
A Chișinău VPS starts at $3.19 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 $9.79 per month. Moldova carries a price index of ×1.10 against our Amsterdam baseline, reflecting real differences in transit and facility cost.
A rights holder who has already been turned away by three other hosts emails us about your Chișinău server. What happens?
Most people arrive holding one of two pictures: either we quietly comply, or we make some kind of stand. It is neither.
That letter is an instrument of United States law, and Moldova is not the United States, so nothing local turns it into an order. We date it, we file it, we send you a copy, and your server carries on. No suspension, no removal, no null-route, and no request that you justify yourself to us.
What would change the outcome is an order from a Moldovan court, or in a criminal matter a mutual-assistance request under the Budapest Convention. That route stays open and we honour it. It simply costs them counsel in Chișinău rather than a mail merge, which is the whole of what you are buying.
Two things it does not buy. Copyright exists in Moldova exactly as it does anywhere else, so this is a statement about who has to prove what, not about what is permitted. And our acceptable use policy runs here as it runs everywhere; nothing on it is a copyright question.
Do I need ID to buy a VPS in Moldova?
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 Moldova imposes no additional customer-identification obligation on hosting providers.
What is the latency to Chișinău?
Typical round-trip times from Bucharest 11 ms, Frankfurt 38 ms, Kyiv 19 ms, Amsterdam 44 ms. The site runs on a 20 Gbps uplink at Trabia MD, 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 Moldova?
Art. 7 of Law No. 20-XVI of 2009 lets a competent authority require a service provider to preserve computer and traffic data, in confidence. We do not print the period it allows, or a figure for anything the same article requires providers to retain, because we could not check either against the text of the law, and a number you cannot check is worth nothing on a page like this. The practical position does not turn on it: preservation and retention both reach only data that exists, and we write no access logs at this site or any other. 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
Same hardware and the same identity policy everywhere. Only the law and the latency change.
