São Paulo & Rio de Janeiro · KVM and OpenVZ
Brazilian VPS Hosting for South America's Largest Market
Brazil is the fifth-largest country on earth by area, one of the most populous, and one of the world's largest economies. That scale gives it weight in any regional or international decision, and it makes the country the obvious starting point for most companies entering Latin America. Many global brands already run offices in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Belo Horizonte and Curitiba.
Brazilians are also enthusiastic internet users. Social media, streaming, online banking and instant payments are part of everyday life, and shoppers expect fast, mobile-friendly sites in Portuguese. A server located in the country is the most direct way to meet that expectation, because traffic doesn't have to cross an ocean or travel through another country before reaching your users.
That is why we host virtual servers inside Brazil rather than reselling foreign capacity. Our network spans São Paulo, the country's financial and technology capital, and Rio de Janeiro, where our OpenVZ platform runs in a CenturyLink Tier 3 facility. Together, they give low latency throughout Brazil and good reach to neighboring Spanish-speaking markets.
Every server is built on current hardware with resources you can expand as your business grows. Whether you need a $18.99 Linux node for a landing page or a 16-core Windows server for an ERP system, the same account and support team cover all four Brazilian locations.
Time zones are simple too. Most of Brazil's population, including São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, runs on Brasília time (UTC-3), so maintenance and backups can be scheduled for the early-morning hours when Brazilian traffic is at its lowest.
When a Brazil VPS Is the Right Move
A Brazilian VPS makes sense when three things are true. You want an online presence aimed at a particular region, you need resources that nobody else can touch, and you want that environment at the lowest reasonable cost. Shared hosting fails the second test, and a dedicated server often fails the third.
The geography of Brazil adds a fourth reason. The country is so large that a server in Miami or Europe is far from almost every Brazilian user, and even routes inside South America can be indirect. Hosting in São Paulo or Rio de Janeiro puts your application in the southeast, where most of the population, money and network capacity are concentrated, and keeps round trips short for users from Porto Alegre to Salvador.
Local hosting also supports compliance and trust. Brazil's data protection law, the LGPD, has made many companies more careful about where customer data lives, and Brazilian visitors and payment partners are reassured when a service resolves to a domestic IP address. Local search results also tend to favor sites that load quickly for users in the same country.
Typical customers include e-commerce stores selling in reais, SaaS companies with Brazilian clients, agencies hosting client sites, VPN and proxy operators that need Brazilian exit addresses, and game communities that want a local server for players across the country.
Sao Paulo DC II: Linux and Windows KVM Pricing
São Paulo DC II is the most complete Brazilian line for teams that need both operating systems. Plans use KVM virtualization and SSD storage, and the Linux and Windows versions are priced separately so you only pay for the license when you need it.
On Linux, the ladder starts at $22.99 a month for 1 core, 1 GB of RAM, 25 GB of SSD and 1,000 GB of traffic. The $37.99 plan raises that to 2 GB of RAM, 55 GB and 2,000 GB, and $66.99 buys 2 cores, 4 GB, 80 GB and 3,000 GB. Larger plans scale steadily: 4 cores and 8 GB with 160 GB for $119.99, 6 cores and 16 GB with 320 GB for $227.99, and 8 cores, 32 GB of RAM, 640 GB of SSD and 6,000 GB of transfer for $299.99.
Windows plans mirror the Linux specifications from the 2 GB tier upward: $64.99 for 1 core and 2 GB, $117.99 for 2 cores and 4 GB, $229.99 for 4 cores and 8 GB, and $369.99 for 6 cores, 16 GB and 320 GB. These suit .NET applications, MSSQL databases and remote desktops used by Brazilian staff.
Choose DC II when you need generous disk space alongside the cores, or when you want a Windows server in São Paulo with storage that grows with the plan. Extra IPv4 addresses can be added to any plan.
Sao Paulo DC III and DC IV for Budget and Memory
São Paulo DC III is our lowest-priced Brazilian entry point. All plans run Linux on KVM, connect to a 1 Gbps port and carry fixed traffic allowances. The smallest costs $18.99 a month for 1 core, 1 GB of RAM, 30 GB of SSD and 1,500 GB of transfer, and the line climbs through $27.99 (2 cores, 2 GB, 40 GB) and $38.99 (4 cores, 2 GB, 20 GB for CPU-bound jobs) to $49.99 (2 cores, 2 GB, 80 GB), $60.99 (3 cores, 3 GB, 60 GB) and $69.99 (4 cores, 4 GB, 80 GB, 4,000 GB).
DC III is a strong match for bots, proxies, small web apps and staging servers where a fast port matters more than a large disk.
São Paulo DC IV is built around memory. Every plan has a 50 GB disk, and RAM rises from 2 GB on the $28.99 Linux plan to 4 GB at $48.99, 8 GB at $78.99, 16 GB at $118.99 and 32 GB with 16 cores at $224.99. Traffic is listed from 1,000 GB to 2,000 GB, with tiers up to unlimited. Plans from 2 cores support Linux or Windows at the same price.
Servers in DC IV are provisioned instantly when stock is available, making it the quickest route to a Windows or Linux server in São Paulo when you're working against a deadline.
Rio de Janeiro OpenVZ Servers with SSD or HDD
Our Rio de Janeiro facility, listed as DC V, is a CenturyLink Tier 3 data center with redundant power, firm cooling and strong carrier connectivity. Plans here use OpenVZ virtualization and come in two flavors: SSD plans for speed and HDD plans for capacity.
The SSD line starts at $31 a month for a 1.8 GHz core, 3 GB of RAM, 40 GB of SSD and 100 GB of traffic at 50 Mbit. The $45 plan provides one 3.7 GHz core (or two 1.85 GHz cores), 8 GB of RAM and 100 GB of SSD with 1,000 GB at 500 Mbit. At $79 and $149 you double and quadruple that, reaching 32 GB of RAM, 400 GB of SSD and 4,000 GB of traffic.
The HDD line is for storage-heavy work such as backups, media libraries and archives. Plans range from $43 for 4 GB of RAM and 125 GB on a 100 Mbit link, through $79 and $149 tiers with 250 GB and 500 GB, to $239 for eight 3.2 GHz cores, 32 GB of RAM, 2,000 GB of HDD and 1,400 GB of traffic at 500 Mbit.
Rio plans run Linux only. Bandwidth beyond your allowance is billed at US$1 per GB, or you can add 1 TB for US$30 a month in advance. Check the plan notes for how very high overage is handled.
KVM or OpenVZ: Picking Your Brazilian Platform
We use two virtualization types in Brazil so that you can balance price, performance and flexibility. Both are mature, widely used technologies, but they suit different projects.
KVM, used in all three São Paulo facilities, is full hardware virtualization. Each server has its own kernel, so you can run Windows, load kernel modules, use Docker and WireGuard without workarounds, and tune the system exactly as you would on physical hardware. Resources are strictly isolated, which gives the most predictable performance. If you need Windows or custom kernels, choose KVM.
OpenVZ, used in Rio de Janeiro, is container-based. All servers on a host share one Linux kernel, which removes virtualization overhead and lets us offer more RAM and storage for the money. The trade-off is less low-level control: you can't change the kernel, and only Linux distributions are supported. For web servers, databases, mail servers and storage nodes, that rarely matters.
A simple rule: start with KVM in São Paulo if you need Windows, VPN software or kernel-level tweaks, and choose OpenVZ in Rio if you want a large SSD or HDD disk at a low price for standard Linux workloads.
Network Reach and Latency from Brazil
São Paulo is the largest internet hub in Latin America and is home to the region's biggest internet exchange, so servers there sit close to almost every major Brazilian network. Rio de Janeiro, roughly 400 km away, is linked to it by high-capacity routes. Users in the southeast reach either city with very low latency, and the rest of the country follows closely.
Many submarine cables that connect South America to North America, Europe and Africa land on the Brazilian coast, which gives these locations good international reach as well. Visitors in Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and Bolivia usually get reasonable response times from São Paulo, although customers focused on Buenos Aires should also look at our Argentina VPS plans.
On the Rio side, the CenturyLink facility allows us to offer whitelisted IPv4 ranges for main server IPs and additional IPs, useful for DNS and mail servers that depend on clean reputation. Each Rio plan has a fixed port speed between 50 Mbit and 500 Mbit, and you can choose a different uplink for the same resources through the add-ons.
Want to measure before buying? Ask our team for a test IP in the facility you're considering and run ping and traceroute from your users' networks.
Security, DDoS Filtering and Firewalls in Brazil
Every Brazilian node is delivered with basic security hardening and optimization from the data center side. From there, you are responsible for securing the server itself: keep packages updated, use SSH keys, and deploy your own internal firewall and security tools. Root and Administrator access let you do all of that without restrictions.
At the network edge, modern firewall systems act as the first line of defense, filtering harmful internet traffic before it reaches your server. DDoS protection is available with capacity of up to 100 Gbps, and medium-sized attacks are blocked as part of normal operation. In Rio, DDoS mitigation is included but treated as a non-priority service.
Please note that servers which are the target of continuous attacks may be cancelled, because repeated floods affect the stability of other customers on the same network. If your project is likely to attract sustained attacks, discuss protection options with us before ordering.
Physical security is handled throughout the facilities, from access control to monitoring, and our team takes care of internal data center matters so your data is transmitted and stored securely.
Provisioning and Managing a Brazilian VPS
Once your payment is verified, your order enters our engineers' queue and is set up with the resources you ordered. Provisioning normally takes no more than 12 hours, and São Paulo DC IV servers can be delivered instantly when stock is available. Your login details arrive by email.
Every server is installed with your chosen operating system, a Linux distribution or, on supported São Paulo plans, Windows Server, and delivered with the root or Administrator user. Most common ports are open in the internal firewall, and you can ask us to open any additional port your service needs.
If a configuration goes wrong, reinstallation support is available: open a ticket and we will reinstall the OS so you can start fresh. Back up your data first.
Not comfortable managing servers? Add the management option to your cart for a monthly fee and let our team handle updates, monitoring and troubleshooting. You can also add cPanel/WHM or DirectAdmin licenses for a graphical panel, paid scripts and security add-ons, so you can focus on your business while we look after the machine.
