What to run in Istanbul
Choosing a site is mostly about where your users are. Here is where Istanbul is the right answer.
- Turkish end users and the domestic market
- Middle Eastern reach from a European operator
- Applications where a local presence is a regulatory or commercial requirement
- Eurasian routing that would otherwise detour via Frankfurt
Connectivity in Istanbul
Istanbul is the interconnection bridge between European and Middle Eastern networks. Turkish consumer networks are reached with a substantial latency penalty from anywhere in the EU, so a domestic presence is the difference between a usable and an unusable experience for Turkish users.
Jurisdiction and data protection
Turkey, which is outside the EU and the EEA. GDPR does not apply; Turkish data-protection law (KVKK) does. If your workload processes EU personal data, take advice before choosing this site.
Who this site reaches well
Turkey, the Caucasus, the Levant, and onward routes into the Middle East.
Pair it with Sofia
Sofia is the nearest EU site and the obvious failover if you need a European jurisdiction alongside a Turkish presence. See Sofia
Where Istanbul is the wrong choice
Turkey sits outside the EU and the EEA, and Turkish internet regulation is more interventionist than the European norm. Choose this site deliberately, for a Turkish audience — not as a generic low-cost option.
Platform and stock
Istanbul is a dedicated-server site: bare metal with full root, a guaranteed 1 Gbps unmetered port, 100 Gbps of always-on DDoS protection at Layer 3 and Layer 4, and no setup fee. KVM VPS is not offered here; the nearest VPS site is Bucharest. Stock varies by site — if a configuration is not currently available in Istanbul we will say so and point you at the nearest site that has it, rather than substituting hardware quietly.
