Romania VPS. The peering capital.
The EU member that never built a takedown culture, sitting on the densest local peering in Eastern Europe. Cheap, fat, unmetered pipes in a jurisdiction that still asks for a court order. No KYC, crypto-only, root in 55 seconds.

EU member, un-EU habits
Romania is the EU member that never built a takedown culture. Yes, Law 8/1996 implements EU copyright directives, and enforcement in practice means a Romanian court order — Romanian courts have a long record of declining to act as enforcement proxies for foreign complainants. And GDPR? It applies here. It costs us nothing, because the only personal data we hold is a token hash and a transaction ID.
The real reason to pick Bucharest is the network. Romania's ISP scene grew up on neighborhood LANs and over-built everything: InterLAN and RoNIX settlement fabrics move hundreds of gigabits a day, and "Romanian bandwidth" is a byword in the seedbox world for cheap, fat, unmetered pipes. When your workload moves serious traffic in or out of Europe, this is the rack.
Add a lax takedown culture and standard pricing, and Bucharest ends up our most bandwidth-for-money location in Europe.
Legal highlights
- Court-order takedown culture — claims need a Romanian court order; no notice-and-action pipeline exists in practice.
- GDPR-compliant by construction — the only data we hold is a token hash and a txid. Nothing else exists to compel.
- InterLAN + RoNIX peering — among the densest settlement fabrics in Europe, directly in the data path.
- The traditional seedbox jurisdiction — unmetered plans thrive here.
- Best EU price-to-bandwidth ratio — standard tier, entry at $5.99/mo.
Bucharest facility, over-peered fabric
Where the seedbox scene puts its servers — and where we put 25 Gbps uplinks to feed it.
Tier III+ facility
Bucharest datacenter: N+1 power and cooling, biometric access, 24/7 on-site hands. Second rack in our network, opened 2022.
AMD EPYC KVM nodes
EPYC 75F3 "Milan" hosts for SV-Nano through SV-Pro; EPYC 9654 "Genoa" for SV-Max and SV-Ultra. DDR4 ECC, NVMe RAID-10, no overselling.
1 Tbps+ DDoS protection
Always-on L3/L4 mitigation in front of every IP, included free. L7 filtering available as a $4.99/mo add-on at checkout.
Network
2×25 Gbps uplinks via Arelion and Lumen; settlement peering at InterLAN and RoNIX exceeding 100 Gbps at peak. This is why Romanian bandwidth has a reputation.
Encrypted nodes, no logs
Full-disk encryption on every host. No activity logs, no connection logs — we can't sell or surrender what we never record.
Clean IPs
Every IPv4 is checked against 40+ DNSBLs before assignment. Flagged addresses are quarantined and recycled, never sold.

Who should pick Romania
- Seedboxes and bandwidth-heavy apps — 25 Gbps uplinks into InterLAN and RoNIX, and SV-Pro and above are unmetered at 1 Gbps.
- Communities and forums serving Central and Eastern Europe — the regional default for low latency plus a lax takedown culture.
- EU buyers who want standard pricing with Amsterdam-adjacent connectivity but fewer legal strings than an EU west-coast rack.
"2 TB/month was never going to be enough. Unmetered on SV-Pro is real — I've pushed 38 TB in a month, zero tickets."

Romania, answered
Not in practice. EU membership has not produced a notice-and-takedown culture in Romania: claims still require a Romanian court order, and Romanian courts have a long record of declining to serve as enforcement proxies for foreign complainants. GDPR applies, but it is a non-issue for us — we hold no personal data to begin with.
Decades of over-built local networks and dense settlement at InterLAN and RoNIX — hundreds of gigabits of peering at peak. Cheap transit plus massive peering is exactly what unmetered plans are for. Our SV-Pro and above are unmetered at 1 Gbps with no fair-use asterisk.
It is the classic choice. Unmetered bandwidth, tolerant peering culture, and an abuse desk that distinguishes civil complaints from court orders — it answers the second and ignores the first. See the use cases page for more workload fits.
