Why hosting in Asunción looks the way it does
Asunción sits outside the EU legal perimeter and all intelligence-sharing alliances, offering a true offshore posture. The region benefits from cheap hydroelectric power from Itaipú and a light-touch regulatory environment. Network connectivity includes a 10 Gbit/s uplink, DDoS scrubbing, Native IPv6 /64, and NVMe storage. Estimated round-trip times to São Paulo are 17 ms, making it a solid hub for Latin American traffic.
Customers deploy privacy-focused applications that benefit from Paraguay's non-membership in intelligence alliances and the absence of DMCA takedowns. Common workloads include data mirroring, research datasets, and secure communications services. The low latency to São Paulo (17 ms) makes Asunción suitable for serving Brazilian users while maintaining jurisdictional independence.

Frequently asked questions
Is Paraguay a good place to host a server?
Cheap hydroelectric power from Itaipú and a light-touch regulatory environment.
Is Paraguay in the Five, Nine or Fourteen Eyes?
No. Paraguay 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 Paraguay?
No. The DMCA is United States copyright statute and binds service providers situated in the US. A server in Paraguay is governed by Paraguay copyright law, which generally requires a court order rather than a private notice. Copyright still applies; only the enforcement mechanism differs.
How fast is Asunción from Europe and North America?
Estimated round trips are approximately 145 ms to Frankfurt and 102 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 Asunción?
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.
Does Paraguay have data retention laws?
OnionVPS retains connection logs for 0 days and does not share data with any intelligence alliance. Paraguay's legal framework does not mandate the surveillance cooperation seen in some jurisdictions. Your activity is not logged, and your identity is never collected beyond the email you control.
What are the copyright implications for hosting in Paraguay?
The DMCA is a US statute and does not apply in Paraguay. Local copyright law applies and generally requires a court order to compel takedowns. This means hosted content is not subject to notice-and-takedown procedures typical in the US, though you must comply with Paraguayan court orders if issued.
