EdgeNo Eyes allianceGDPR appliesDMCA not applicable10 Gbit/s
Short answer

Yes. You can host a server in Zagreb without KYC, and the legal position is clear. Croatia is not a member of the Five, Nine, or Fourteen Eyes intelligence-sharing alliances, so your data is not shared with those states by default. The DMCA does not apply because it is US law; local copyright law applies and generally requires a court order. Entry is $4 per month.

Why hosting in Zagreb looks the way it does

OnionVPS's Zagreb region has operated since 2023 on a 10 Gbit/s uplink with DDoS scrubbing, native IPv6 /64, and NVMe storage. Its edge jurisdiction tier offers smaller footprints for latency coverage, and proximity to Ljubljana (4 ms) and Sarajevo (6 ms) makes it a regional hub. Croatian capacity provides good onward routes to Serbia and Bosnia, as noted in our editorial review.

People deploy mail servers here to keep correspondence outside alliance surveillance. The 12 ms route to Frankfurt suits low-latency trading bots or game servers. The IPv6 /64 and custom ISO support mean you can run OpenBSD or NixOS for privacy-focused infrastructure, while the 4 ms hop to Ljubljana allows cross-border service replication.

Frequently asked questions

Is Croatia a good place to host a server?

Croatian capacity with good onward routes to Serbia and Bosnia.

Is Croatia in the Five, Nine or Fourteen Eyes?

No. Croatia is not a member of the Five, Nine or Fourteen Eyes intelligence-sharing alliances, which is one reason it appears in our edge tier.

Does the DMCA apply to a server in Croatia?

No. The DMCA is United States copyright statute and binds service providers situated in the US. A server in Croatia is governed by Croatia copyright law, which generally requires a court order rather than a private notice. Copyright still applies; only the enforcement mechanism differs.

How fast is Zagreb from Europe and North America?

Estimated round trips are approximately 12 ms to Frankfurt and 100 ms to Ashburn. These are computed from great-circle distance rather than measured, so treat them as a floor.

Do I need to identify myself to order in Zagreb?

No. Every OnionVPS location has the same signup: an email address you control and a cryptocurrency payment. No name, no address, no document, no card.

How is Croatia different from other European hosts?

Croatia sits outside the Five, Nine, and Fourteen Eyes alliances, so your data is not automatically shared with those states. While GDPR applies to personal data, the DMCA does not bind hosts here. This makes it distinct from US-linked jurisdictions.

Does latency to Zagreb vary within Croatia?

Great-circle estimates put Frankfurt at 12 ms and Ashburn at 100 ms. The facility is near 45.81, 15.98. Your actual latency depends on the peer's location and routing, so test from your target audience before committing.
