Short answer

Yes. OnionVPS offers VPS hosting in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina from $4 per month, with no KYC—an email address is the only identifier. Bosnia and Herzegovina is not a member of the Five, Nine, or Fourteen Eyes alliances, placing it outside those intelligence-sharing frameworks. The DMCA does not apply, as it is U.S. law; local copyright law requires a court order. This is a non-EU jurisdiction with GDPR not applying to personal data.

Why hosting in Sarajevo looks the way it does

Sarajevo sits outside the EU legal perimeter and all intelligence-sharing alliances, a position the editorial note describes as 'Non-EU Balkan capacity for teams that want European latency outside the EU legal perimeter.' The facility, operational since 2024, connects via a 10 Gbit/s uplink with estimated round-trip times of 16 ms to Frankfurt and 104 ms to Ashburn. On-site DDoS scrubbing, native IPv6 /64, and NVMe storage support the workload.

Operators run privacy-focused web services, mail servers requiring clean IPs, and crypto nodes that benefit from the non-EU legal posture. The low latency to central Europe, under 20 ms, supports database replicas for EU-facing applications, while the jurisdiction allows hosting content that stricter legal environments reject. Developers use full KVM for custom kernels and nested virtualisation.

Frequently asked questions

Is Bosnia and Herzegovina a good place to host a server?

Non-EU Balkan capacity for teams that want European latency outside the EU legal perimeter.

Is Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Five, Nine or Fourteen Eyes?

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

Does the DMCA apply to a server in Bosnia and Herzegovina?

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

How fast is Sarajevo from Europe and North America?

Estimated round trips are approximately 16 ms to Frankfurt and 104 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 Sarajevo?

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 do I pay for a VPS in Sarajevo?

Payment is cryptocurrency only, through OxaPay. Invoices are in US dollars. Plans bill monthly, quarterly, annually, or biennially. There is no fiat, card, or PayPal option. An email address is the only signup requirement, and provisioning takes about 55 seconds.

What is the latency to nearby cities?

Estimated round-trip times from Sarajevo are 4 ms to Podgorica, 5 ms to Belgrade, and 6 ms to both Tirana and Skopje. These are great-circle estimates, not measured figures, but they indicate close regional connectivity. Frankfurt is about 16 ms, making this viable for EU-facing workloads.
