Is Romania good for an offshore VPS?

What makes Romania different from other EU hosting locations?

Romania is an EU country whose Constitutional Court has twice struck down a national data-retention law. In Decision 1258 of October 2009, the Court declared the first law unconstitutional as a whole, for breaching the rights to correspondence and privacy. In Decision 440 of 8 July 2014, it ruled the second law, No. 82/2012, unconstitutional too.

Those rulings are history, not a promise about today. Romania has been an EU member since 2007, so EU law applies there, including the GDPR since 25 May 2018.

Romania is also cheap for servers. In our check, the lowest comparable plan in Romania was $4.12, the same as in the Netherlands and below Switzerland ($6.00) and Iceland ($8.50).

What laws apply to a VPS in Bucharest?

Romanian law and EU law apply to the Bucharest datacenter. Hosts in Romania put it in their own rules:

• Kyun is a Romanian company, registered in Bucharest and bound by the GDPR. Its rules apply Romanian law plus the law of each server's country, and it cooperates with valid court orders.
• Cockbox says the law of the server's location applies, and its rules allow "nothing against the law in Romania".
• FlokiNET handles copyright claims under the law of the country where the server is.

How many offshore hosts offer Romania, and what do they charge?

9 of the 36 active hosts in OffshoreKVM's check of 29 October 2026 offer Romania, as many as Sweden, Canada and France. Among smaller hosts with 12 countries or fewer, 7 sell Romania. Seven of the nine accept Monero and seven ask for no ID at signup.

Romania ties the Netherlands for the lowest prices of our four countries: the cheapest comparable 1 vCPU / 1 GB / 20 GB plan we found there was Kyun at €3.70 ($4.12) a month. FlokiNET sells its smallest VPS for €7.99 in Romania, its cheapest location, against €10.99 in Iceland. KVM 1 costs $3.08 in Bucharest, as everywhere at OffshoreKVM.

Romania or Moldova: which is better for an offshore VPS?

Romania is the EU choice with more hosts; Moldova is outside the EU with fewer. Romania is offered by 9 hosts in our check, Moldova by 4: Cockbox, VPSDEN, AlexHost and the pre-launch TLDBunker. AlexHost is itself a Moldovan company with terms under Moldovan law, and it asks for ID in some cases.

OffshoreKVM sells Romania, not Moldova. If you want a server outside the EU at the same price, pick Zurich or Reykjavik: see is Switzerland good for an offshore VPS. All four of our countries are compared in which country is best for offshore hosting.
