“Frankfurt is faster” for a site whose readers are in Turkey or the Balkans is a slogan written before anyone measured. EuroVDC web and WordPress hosting runs in Sofia, Bulgaria, at Neterra. The company is registered in the EU. If that is where your visitors are, the city is the building that holds the data, not a line in an ad.
We do not invent a number. The Sofia looking glass is there so you can measure from your visitor’s city to your own page. Someone else’s marketing table is not your time.
When Sofia is the right building
- Readers and customers sit in Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania or Greece.
- The contract wants an EU legal entity. EuroVDC Ltd is in Sofia.
- You want the domain, the hosting and the mail in one account. Mail is
securemail.eurovdc.eu. The zone is usually onns1.eurovdc.eu.
When Frankfurt is a separate need
If every customer is in western Germany and the time you measured is past your own threshold, that measurement opens a location discussion. The discussion does not open because every brochure says Frankfurt. Moving city without a measurement can also move the site farther away.
Say the privacy sentence accurately
Data sitting in Sofia does not erase a Turkish controller’s KVKK duties, and it does not erase GDPR duties for an EU controller. What it does is put the processor inside the EU. The notice is still your text. Do not write “EU server, privacy is finished”.
Three measurements, then the city
- Look up your own name on the Sofia looking glass. Another site’s time is not yours.
- From the city where the customer sits, at that hour, open the homepage. Time to first byte in the browser network panel is closer than a ping table in a brochure.
- Repeat it at the hour customers buy. A page that is fast at midnight and slow at noon is not “Sofia is slow”.
The nameserver ns1.eurovdc.eu and the machine that serves the page may not be in the same city. Fast DNS does not make a fast page. Measure them apart. If the measurement passes your threshold, then talk about city. If it does not, the Frankfurt sentence is not a decision.
Frequently asked questions
How many milliseconds from Sofia to Istanbul?
Not in this article. Your path, the hour and the looking-glass result exist. We do not copy someone else’s table.
Will a German customer be slow on Sofia?
Measure it. One German city is not every German customer. The threshold is how long your page takes, not the name of the city.
Is changing datacenter a DNS edit?
No. A move is files, database, certificate, and only then the A record. A city name does not change the A record by itself.
Are backups in Sofia too?
EuroVDC hosting includes daily and weekly automatic remote backups. Remote is not a second folder on the same disk. Read the retention from the service description in the panel. We do not invent a day count here.
