Highlights

  • Physically in Istanbul

    Your server, its NVMe disks and its snapshots are in Equinix IL4, Istanbul. Nothing is replicated abroad.

  • Turkish Legal Entity

    The service is provided and invoiced by CloudBT Telekomünikasyon A.Ş., a company registered in Turkey, which simplifies vendor due diligence under KVKK.

  • Isolation You Can Point To

    Dedicated resources, per-customer VLANs, VXLAN private networks in virtual data centers and panel-managed firewalls.

Compliance guide

What Turkey's Data Protection Law Means for Hosting

This is a hosting provider's summary, not legal advice. Confirm your obligations with counsel; the points below are what customers usually need from us.

  • KVKK (Law No. 6698): Turkey's data protection law, modeled on earlier EU rules. Transferring personal data abroad is restricted and, in most cases, requires a legal basis such as the data subject's explicit consent, adequacy or approved safeguards.

  • Practical consequence: Many Turkish companies and their vendors choose to keep personal data on servers inside Turkey to avoid the transfer question altogether.

  • Sector rules: Banking, payment services, insurance, electronic communications and public-sector projects have additional localization requirements set by their regulators (for example BDDK and BTK rules on keeping systems and data in Turkey).

  • What a provider can give you: A documented location (Equinix IL4, Istanbul), a Turkish legal entity as the contracting party, isolation controls and the ability to delete data on request.

What CloudBT provides

  • Location: All compute and storage in Istanbul; no cross-border replication.

  • Contracting party: CloudBT Telekomünikasyon A.Ş., Istanbul. Invoices in USD with Turkish tax details.

  • Isolation: Reserved resources, Layer 2 isolation per customer, private networks per project, firewall and security groups.

  • Deletion: Deleting a server removes its disk and snapshots from our storage; we document retention periods in our terms.

  • Access: Email-verified accounts, API keys with read, manage or full scope and spend limits, and an account activity log.

What we do not claim

We are an infrastructure provider, not a certification body. We do not claim that using our servers makes an application compliant; compliance depends on how you process data. We publish facts about location, hardware and isolation so your assessment can rely on them.

Latency is the practical bonus of in-country hosting: 1.8 ms to Türk Telekom and 6.2 ms to Vodafone, measured from the same servers.

Highlights

  • Istanbul Only

    No replication or backup copies outside Turkey unless you configure them.

  • Turkish Invoices

    Issued by a company registered in Turkey.

  • Isolation Controls

    VLANs, private networks, firewall, security groups.

  • Activity Log

    API and assistant actions are recorded in your account activity.

Infrastructure Behind the Promise

The same platform on every plan.

  • AMD EPYC Processors

    Dual AMD EPYC processors in every physical host. Your virtual server runs on cores reserved for you.

  • All-NVMe Storage

    The entire storage layer is NVMe SSD. Database queries and file operations are noticeably faster than on SATA SSD.

  • 2×100G Redundant Network

    Every host connects to two separate switches with a 100G link each. If a switch or link fails, your traffic flows over the other.

  • Snapshots and Firewall

    Three snapshots per server and a panel-managed firewall are included in every plan.

  • Layer 2 Isolation

    Each customer in its own VLAN; VXLAN private networks in virtual data centers.

  • Scoped API Keys

    Read, manage or full scope per key, with spend limits and one-click revocation.

What Is Data Residency?

Data residency means that data is stored and processed in a specific country. For Turkey, it usually comes up under KVKK, the data protection law, and under sector regulations for finance, telecoms and the public sector. In-country hosting removes the cross-border transfer question and keeps latency to Turkish users low.
