A Long-Term Home for Your Business in Chile
If you want a secure, dedicated and affordable platform for an online business, store, app or server in Chile, a VPS is the most sensible place to start. Before investing in any market, though, it pays to check whether the location makes sense. Here is the short version for Chile.
The country stretches as a long, narrow strip along South America's Pacific coast, bordered by Peru, Bolivia and Argentina. Its population is highly literate and well connected, and over the last two decades steady growth has brought modern infrastructure and attractive investment opportunities. Mining, agriculture, wine, salmon farming, retail and finance all rely heavily on digital tools, and Santiago has built a reputation as a startup and technology hub.
Companies around the world want a presence in this market, and the most practical way to establish one is through local IT infrastructure. A Chilean VPS puts your website or application on a local network with a local IP address, so pages load quickly for Chilean visitors and your service feels domestic.
You get dedicated resources at close to the price of shared hosting. We offer several plan lines across four Chilean facilities, from ready-made packages to custom builds, so you can match the server to the project rather than the other way round.
What a Chilean IP and Local Server Change
Chile's shape creates a real hosting challenge. The mainland runs more than 4,000 km from north to south, but it's rarely more than a couple of hundred kilometers wide, and the Andes separate it from Argentina. Traffic heading abroad often travels long routes through submarine cables or across the mountains. Hosting inside Chile keeps your users' requests on domestic networks and avoids those detours.
The result is fast local loading for visitors in Santiago, Valparaíso, Concepción, Antofagasta and Puerto Montt. Shops feel more responsive, dashboards refresh quicker and APIs used by mobile apps respond without delay. For businesses that rely on local search, faster pages and a Chilean IP address also support visibility in domestic results.
There is a trust benefit too. Chilean customers, banks and payment providers are more comfortable when a service is clearly local, and some services restrict access to users or servers inside the country. With a Chilean VPS, your project uses the local internet and IP space directly.
Mainland Chile uses UTC-4 in winter and UTC-3 in summer, close to the US East Coast and Brazil's business hours. A server set to local time keeps logs, scheduled tasks and reports aligned with your Chilean team's working day.
Santiago DC II: Separate Linux and Windows Plans
Santiago DC II is the most complete Chilean line for teams that need storage and a choice of operating systems. Plans run on KVM with SSD storage, and Linux and Windows are priced separately so you only pay for a Windows license when you need one.
Linux plans start at $17.99 a month for 1 core, 1 GB of RAM, 25 GB of SSD and 1,000 GB of traffic. They step up to $33.99 for 2 GB and 55 GB, $59.99 for 2 cores and 4 GB with 80 GB, and $113.99 for 4 cores and 8 GB with 160 GB. The larger plans offer 6 cores and 16 GB with 320 GB for $217.99, and 8 cores, 32 GB of RAM, 640 GB of SSD and 6,000 GB of traffic for $296.99.
Windows plans cover the same tiers from 2 GB of RAM: $49.99 for 1 core and 2 GB, $99.99 for 2 cores and 4 GB, $198.99 for 4 cores and 8 GB, and $297.99 for 6 cores, 16 GB and 320 GB of SSD.
Choose DC II if your application needs disk space that grows with the plan, such as a store with a large product catalog, a file server for a Santiago office, or a Windows server running an ERP system with an MSSQL database.
Santiago DC III and DC V: Fast Port or More RAM
Santiago DC III is the value line for Linux users who want network speed. Every plan has a 1 Gbps port, SSD storage and a fixed traffic allowance. The smallest costs $17.99 a month for 1 core, 1 GB of RAM, 30 GB and 1,500 GB of transfer. From there: $27.99 for 2 cores, 2 GB and 40 GB; $37.99 for 4 cores and 2 GB with a lean 20 GB disk; $47.99 for 2 cores, 2 GB and 80 GB; $57.99 for 3 cores, 3 GB and 60 GB; and $67.99 for 4 cores, 4 GB, 80 GB and 4,000 GB.
This line suits web apps, APIs and CI runners that need a fast uplink but not a huge disk.
Santiago DC V is built around memory and Windows. Every plan includes a 50 GB disk, while RAM rises from 2 GB on the $26.99 Linux plan to 4 GB at $43.99, 8 GB at $72.99, 16 GB at $102.99 and 32 GB with 16 cores at $199.99. Plans from 2 cores support Linux or Windows at the same price, and traffic runs from 1,000 GB to 2,000 GB with tiers up to unlimited.
If you need a Windows VPS in a Santiago data center with plenty of RAM, DC V is usually the most economical choice.
Valdivia DC IV: LXC and KVM in Los Ríos
Our Valdivia facility, in the Los Ríos region of southern Chile, is a Tier III data center and the original home of our Chilean VPS service. It offers two virtualization types side by side, so you can choose between low cost and full control.
LXC plans are Linux containers. They share the host kernel, which reduces overhead and keeps prices low: $27 a month for 1 core, 512 MB of RAM, 30 GB of SSD and 200 GB of traffic, rising through $39 (2 cores, 1 GB, 50 GB, 400 GB) and $69 (4 cores, 2 GB, 100 GB, 800 GB) to $96 for 6 cores, 4 GB, 150 GB and 1,200 GB.
KVM plans offer full virtualization with the same resource steps: $34, $53, $79 and $117 a month. The two larger KVM plans, with 2 GB and 4 GB of RAM, support Windows as well as Linux, while the smaller ones are Linux only.
Valdivia servers connect through a 100 Mbps shared port by default. The facility has a 1 Gbps national link and a 50 Mbps international link, so it performs best for audiences within Chile. All operating systems are installed on new SSD or NVMe storage, which delivers I/O up to 20 times faster than traditional disks.
Windows VPS and RDP Access in Chile
Many Chilean businesses run Windows-based software: accounting packages, point-of-sale back ends, .NET applications and MSSQL databases. A Windows VPS in Chile lets you host these tools close to the people who use them, with a local IP address and a Remote Desktop session that feels responsive.
Windows Server 2012 R2, 2016 and 2019 are available, and Windows 10 is offered as an add-on. Windows runs on KVM plans: all Windows tiers in Santiago DC II, DC V plans from 2 cores, and the 2 GB and 4 GB KVM plans in Valdivia. Each Windows package comes with single-user Remote Desktop access under the Administrator account.
In Valdivia, Windows VMs are hosted through Powerhost Telecom SpA and protected by a Cisco firewall, while Linux provisions run through GTD's network. Using two providers has allowed us to keep prices as low as possible for each operating system.
Remember that Windows plans in Valdivia cannot receive additional IPv4 addresses. If your Windows project needs several IPs, discuss it with our team before ordering so we can suggest a Santiago option.
Linux Distributions and Root Access on Chile VPS
On the Linux side, you can choose CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu or Fedora in several releases when ordering any ready-made package. Every Linux server is delivered with root access over a protected SSH port, so you can install packages, configure services and harden the system yourself.
With root, a Chilean VPS can do far more than host a single site. You can run unlimited domains and mailboxes, set up a control panel and resell hosting to clients, deploy containers, or host internal tools for a company in Santiago or Concepción. Any software that suits the platform and specifications is allowed, provided it is legitimate and complies with our TOS.
If you only need one extra IP address for a Linux server, for example to separate a mail service, you can order a single additional IPv4. We keep IP add-ons limited because infrastructure costs in Chile are high, and we would rather keep base prices low.
Large sites are welcome too. Customers run projects with very large numbers of pages on Chilean VPS plans to get dedicated-server-like benefits without the dedicated-server price. For high-traffic deployments, start with a larger Santiago plan and contact us about a custom configuration.
Allowed and Prohibited Uses on Chilean Servers
Chilean VPS plans are aimed at business, development and web workloads. Websites, online stores, mail servers, databases, APIs, internal applications and shared hosting for your own clients are all welcome, as are development and staging environments.
Game servers and proxy servers are not allowed on Chile plans. Our data center arrangements here do not permit these uses, and we would rather say so clearly than have a server suspended after purchase. If you need a game or proxy server close to Chilean users, ask our team about neighboring locations such as our Argentina VPS and Peru VPS pages.
Before ordering, you're welcome to discuss your plans with us, ping test IP ranges and check latency and speed from your own location. That helps avoid surprises after purchase, especially for projects with complex networking requirements.
We specialize in customized containers for unusual networking needs. If your setup needs specific routing, firewall rules or a particular combination of resources, tell us during pre-sales and we will design a configuration that fits.
Upgrading, Activation and Support for Chile VPS
After your payment details are confirmed, the order moves into configuration. Most Chilean servers are provisioned within 2 to 24 hours, though some can take from 120 minutes up to 72 hours depending on the facility and the queue. Your user account details are emailed to you as soon as the server is ready.
Plan your growth carefully. Because Chilean servers are not built on a cloud platform, you can't add RAM, disk or cores to an existing plan in place. The way to get more resources is to order the next plan up and migrate. Extra bandwidth, more cores and additional storage can be selected as configurable options when you place the order, so it is worth sizing generously at the start.
Our support team is available 24/7/365 through a dedicated technical department, helping with basic support needs even if you don't have IT skills. Sales and distribution staff are also on hand to answer questions about plans and custom quotes.
We plan to introduce further upgrades in the future, including more RAM, CPU and management tools. Until then, the add-ons and plan ladder above cover most growth paths.
