Every VPS includes
All our virtual servers come with these features at no extra cost
Advanced features
Snapshots
Before making changes on your cloud VPS server, you can create a snapshot. If something goes wrong, you can roll back to a stable state in just a few clicks. This feature is included in the server price.
Web Console
Access your virtual server's console directly from the browser, without plugins, even from a mobile device. With the web console you can install an OS or manage the server if RDP/SSH access is unavailable.
Virtual Private Networks
Combine VPS servers into private networks to build high-availability clusters. By default, each server is isolated, but we provide the option to unite them into an L2 network, even across different XServer locations.
Automatic Backups
Virtual servers are backed up automatically. To restore, simply choose a date and click the button. Daily backups are also available for just $5 per month — reliable protection for your data and services.
Technology Stack
When a server breaks, your VPS is back within a few minutes
Every part of our cloud has a twin: two internet providers, two routers, a storage system with two controllers and a spare server. At a typical VPS host, a VPS lives inside one physical server, together with its disks.
XServer Cloud
A typical VPS host
A breakdown is a reboot, not a day offline
If a physical server fails, your VPS restarts on another one within a few minutes.
Your disks aren't inside the server
They live on a storage system with two controllers and RAID10, so a broken server doesn't take your files with it.
There is always room to restart
We keep one server's worth of capacity free (N+1), so the cluster always has somewhere to start your VPS.
Hardware
External Data Storage
Cloud VPS run on HPE MSA2060/2050 with dual redundancy. Enterprise SSD RAID10 and SAS HDDs with SSD tiering deliver reliable, high-performance storage.
Powerful Servers
Powered by HPE DL360 Gen10 and Dell R640 with dual Intel Xeon Gold processors, our clusters deliver outstanding performance and N+1 high availability.
Reliability
Redundant power, dual uplinks, Active-Active storage, and multi-path networking ensure there are no single points of failure across our infrastructure.
Software
Virtualization type
VPS on VMware vSphere 8 delivers full resource reservation, stable operation, and downtime protection, exceeding entry-level physical server performance.
Load balancing
High-speed shared storage enables intelligent load balancing, guaranteed resources, and zero overselling.
High Availability Cluster
If a node fails, VMware HA automatically restarts its virtual machines on the other nodes within a few minutes. The disks live on the shared storage, so the server boots with all its data.
Automatic restart on another server applies to Standard VPS. Hi-perf VPS run on a single high-frequency server with local NVMe disks and have no shared storage yet.

VPS Hosting in Bulgaria
Sofia is a convenient spot for a VPS if your project's audience is in the Balkans, Turkey, or Southeastern Europe. From here, routes are short to Romania, Greece, Serbia, North Macedonia, and Turkish operators — a region that Frankfurt or Amsterdam can only reach through long transit legs.
Bulgaria is also an EU member state, so hosting in Sofia satisfies European jurisdiction requirements too — handy when a project needs both proximity to a Balkan audience and data storage within the European Union.
Why Choose a VPS in Bulgaria
First, regional connectivity. For users in Bulgaria, Romania, Greece, Serbia, and Turkey, a server in Sofia delivers noticeably lower latency than sites in Western Europe. For online stores, SaaS services, and APIs, this directly affects responsiveness; for VPNs — connection stability from across the region.
Second, a direct link to Ukraine. In our Bulgarian location, we work with a Ukrainian backbone provider that operates its own channel to Sofia, so latency to Ukrainian users is minimal — noticeably lower than routing through Western Europe. For Ukrainian companies, this is an interesting combination: a server in the EU with fast response times both for audiences in Ukraine and for the southern direction — the Balkans and Turkey.
Third, economics. Bulgaria is traditionally one of the most affordable locations in the EU: hosting costs here are lower than in overheated markets like Germany or the Netherlands, with the same platform and engineering standards. For startups, agencies, and projects running many servers, the difference adds up.
VMware Cloud Platform
As in our other locations, the cloud in Sofia is built on VMware vSphere — an enterprise virtualization platform, not a free hypervisor. The difference shows in critical moments: if a physical node fails, the HA cluster automatically restarts virtual machines on healthy servers, and planned maintenance is handled via live migration — the VPS moves between nodes without service interruption.
The storage layer is built on SSD and NVMe: fast OS boot times, responsive databases, smooth handling of CMS platforms, code repositories, and applications with heavy disk activity. There's enough headroom not just for standard web hosting, but also for demanding dev/test environments, business applications, and multi-tenant SaaS services.
About the Telepoint Data Center
Servers are housed in the Telepoint data center, a TIER III facility in Sofia and one of Bulgaria's main hosting sites. Power, cooling, and network infrastructure are redundant, the facility is under engineering monitoring, and physical access is controlled.
Telepoint also serves as the country's key traffic exchange point: most Bulgarian and regional operators are present here, which simplifies routing and keeps connectivity within the region short and predictable.
XServer Cloud has been in business since 2007. If your project needs an EU-based platform with short routes across the Balkans and Turkey, minimal latency to Ukraine, and sensible pricing — spin up a VPS in Sofia and see for yourself.
Basic VPS
A basic VPS is the smartest way to launch your project: a full-fledged virtual server with root access, your own operating system, and a dedicated IP at a modest price. One important point: "basic" here refers to the amount of resources, not the quality. These servers run on the same VMware vSphere platform, in the same data centers, and on the same hardware as our most powerful configurations — with HA clusters, live migration, and SSD/NVMe storage.
In our experience, a basic VPS is all most projects on the internet will ever need: not every website is destined to grow into workloads that demand serious hardware. And if yours does — resources can be added in a couple of clicks, no migration required.
What You Can Host on a Basic VPS
The range of workloads is wider than you might think:
- Websites and blogs — WordPress, Joomla, or static sites run comfortably on a basic configuration and handle several thousand visitors a day.
- Landing pages and business card sites — fast, on your own IP, with no shared hosting neighbors.
- Small online stores — OpenCart, PrestaShop, or WooCommerce at the early stage of sales.
- Telegram bots and small APIs — services like these don't need much power; what matters is stability.
- Personal VPN or proxy — WireGuard or OpenVPN set up in a matter of minutes.
- Test and learning environments — try out a new stack, deploy a pet project, or practice Linux administration on a real server.
- Utility services — monitoring, a control panel, a Git repository, a personal file cloud.
Why a VPS Beats Regular Hosting
Classic shared hosting is cheaper, but there you're one of hundreds of clients on a common server: someone else's script can slow down your site, and someone else's spam can ruin the reputation of the shared IP. On a VPS, the resources are yours, the IP address is yours alone, and you're free to install any software: the exact version of PHP, Node.js, Python, databases, Docker — anything at all, right down to your choice of operating system.
And Why Not a Dedicated Server
A dedicated server is a great thing when the load is consistently high. But for a project that's just starting out, it's overkill: paying several times more for capacity that will sit idle makes no economic sense. A VPS also has a practical edge: an upgrade takes minutes with a button in the panel, while changing a dedicated server's configuration means sourcing hardware and moving data. Start small — and when your project genuinely hits the ceiling of virtualization, we'll help you move to a dedicated server without losses.
When a Basic VPS Won't Be Enough
Honestly: a basic VPS isn't for everything. If you're running a heavily loaded database, analytics, or a high-traffic portal — look at the High Performance configurations. If you need to store hundreds of gigabytes of files, a media library, or archives — a VPS with storage on inexpensive HDDs is the better deal. And for projects with critical data, where losing information is not an option, there's a VPS with daily backups and one-click restore.
Try It Now
Start with a basic VPS from XServer Cloud — the server deploys in a couple of minutes, and you can outgrow it whenever you're ready: upgrade the resources, switch to a different scenario, or move to a dedicated server when the time comes. Pay for what you need now, not for headroom "just in case".
