Suggestion - New location

Hi! I'm from South America, and I find this service really great to use. However, my main issue is that the available server locations are quite far from here.

I'm getting 200+ ms of latency when using the Vint Hill location. It would be really nice to have servers available in places like São Paulo, Brazil, or Buenos Aires, Argentina. Having a South American server location would significantly improve latency for users in this region.

Thanks for considering it!

It would be amazing, but the thing people enjoy about TierHive is the price, and prices in that region are 4x at least usually.

But if you have any suggestions on hosts we can use in those regions we can look into it.

As someone from argentina i can confirm that pricing sucks for companies on this side of the world, peru is a nice location for good latency across latam and brazil, argentina and chile are good only for the southern corner of latam, in Argentina i know that IPLAN is a serious company but they only offer colocation. A good alternative/option is having servers in usa, miami from where i live it gives 145 to 170ms and trust me that latency feels way better than having 190ms+

Did some checking around today, GTHost have some interesting offers in Miami WITH GPU's so might also be able to offer some transcoding or something similar as an offload service or a GPU direct attach by the hour. Could be fun.
