Short answer
Santiago, Chile is served by OnionVPS without KYC. Chile is not a member of the Five, Nine, or Fourteen Eyes intelligence-sharing alliances. The DMCA does not apply because it is US law, and local copyright law generally requires a court order. Servers start at $4 per month.

Why hosting in Santiago looks the way it does
Santiago sits on the most reliable power grid in South America and is the landing point for the Humboldt cable to Asia-Pacific, a fact OnionVPS has published. The region operates on a 40 Gbit/s uplink with DDoS scrubbing and native IPv6. Its round-trip to São Paulo is estimated at 37 ms, and to Buenos Aires at 17 ms, making it a regional hub. Core jurisdiction tier means high-capacity internet exchange access.
People deploy latency-sensitive services for South America, such as trading platforms that need 37 ms round-trips to São Paulo, or content delivery nodes that take advantage of regional proximity. Others run applications that must avoid DMCA-driven takedowns, leveraging the court-order requirement for copyright claims. Low cost $4 plans suit VPNs and monitoring agents.

Frequently asked questions
Is Chile a good place to host a server?
The most reliable power grid in South America and the landing point of the Humboldt cable to Asia-Pacific.
Is Chile in the Five, Nine or Fourteen Eyes?
No. Chile 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 Chile?
No. The DMCA is United States copyright statute and binds service providers situated in the US. A server in Chile is governed by Chile copyright law, which generally requires a court order rather than a private notice. Copyright still applies; only the enforcement mechanism differs.
How fast is Santiago from Europe and North America?
Estimated round trips are approximately 165 ms to Frankfurt and 111 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 Santiago?
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.
Is my data subject to GDPR if I host in Santiago?
GDPR does not apply to personal data processed in Chile, as it is a third country without an adequacy decision. This may simplify compliance for some, but your obligations depend on where your users reside. Review your own data flows before relying on this.
How long does provisioning take in Santiago?
Provisioning takes 55 seconds. You pay in cryptocurrency through OxaPay, and only need an email address to sign up. After creation, you have a 7-day money-back window. Connection logs are retained for 0 days, so your activity is not stored.
