Why hosting in São Paulo looks the way it does
OnionVPS has operated in São Paulo since 2021, with a 100 Gbit/s uplink and IX.br, the largest exchange in the southern hemisphere. The facility offers DDoS scrubbing, IPv6 /64, NVMe storage, and custom ISO upload. As a Core jurisdiction on major internet exchanges, it provides low-latency access to Latin America, with Rio de Janeiro at 7 ms and Buenos Aires at 25 ms.
Common deployments include latency-sensitive applications for Brazilian users, such as gaming servers, streaming relays, and fintech infrastructure. Data residency needs for local businesses drive adoption. The jurisdiction also suits privacy-focused workloads, given the absence of DMCA and intelligence-sharing alliances.

Frequently asked questions
Is Brazil a good place to host a server?
IX.br São Paulo is the largest exchange in the southern hemisphere. Mandatory if you serve Brazilian users.
Is Brazil in the Five, Nine or Fourteen Eyes?
No. Brazil is not a member of the Five, Nine or Fourteen Eyes intelligence-sharing alliances, which is one reason it appears in our core tier.
Does the DMCA apply to a server in Brazil?
No. The DMCA is United States copyright statute and binds service providers situated in the US. A server in Brazil is governed by Brazil copyright law, which generally requires a court order rather than a private notice. Copyright still applies; only the enforcement mechanism differs.
How fast is São Paulo from Europe and North America?
Estimated round trips are approximately 135 ms to Frankfurt and 105 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 São Paulo?
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.
What is the legal process for copyright takedowns in Brazil?
In Brazil, the DMCA does not apply. Local copyright law governs takedowns, and generally requires a court order. This means a rights holder cannot simply file a notice with the host; they must seek judicial action. OnionVPS complies with valid court orders, but does not respond to informal notices.
Can I get a dedicated IPv4 address in São Paulo?
Yes. Additional IPv4 addresses are available at $3 per month, routed to your instance with no justification required. This is in addition to the IPv6 /64 subnet that comes with every plan. All plans include a primary IPv4 address by default.
