VPSBG is a small Bulgarian provider known for extremely low prices. Their cheapest plan costs €12/year ($13). I've tested their €3/month plan for three months. Here's my review.
What VPSBG Does Well
Very cheap. The €3/month plan gives 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 20 GB SSD, and 2 TB traffic. Yearly payment reduces cost to €2.5/month.
European location. Data center in Sofia, Bulgaria. Latency from Western Europe: 30-50 ms. From US East: ~120 ms.
Simple control panel. Custom panel that works. No frills but functional.
IPv6 included. Free IPv6 address with every VPS.
Where VPSBG Falls Short
Limited performance. UnixBench single‑core around 600. Disk I/O ~150 MB/s. Suitable for light workloads only.
No DDoS protection. You'll need Cloudflare or another service.
Support is slow. Ticket responses take 12‑24 hours. Email only.
No backups included. You must set up your own.
Plans and Pricing
| Plan | vCPU | RAM | Storage | Traffic | Price | Use case |

| Basic | 1 | 1 GB | 20 GB SSD | 2 TB | €3/month | Low‑traffic blog |

Who Should Use VPSBG?
Budget‑conscious European users. If your audience is in Europe and you need a cheap VPS for learning, VPN, or small blog.
Backup or monitoring node. Cheap enough to run secondary services like uptime monitoring or secondary DNS.
Developers needing a disposable test server. Low cost makes it easy to spin up for experiments.
Who Should Skip VPSBG?
Production sites with high traffic. Performance is too low.
Users outside Europe. Latency from Asia or Australia will be high.
Mission‑critical applications. No SLA, slow support.
Final Verdict
VPSBG is for users who need a very cheap VPS and accept the limitations. For €3/month, it's hard to complain. Great for learning Linux, hosting a personal VPN, or running a lightweight cron job. For anything serious, pay more elsewhere.
