Need a VPS server in Africa & South America
My Budget is $7/Month and i'm searching for 256MB-512MB RAM, 5GB+ HDD Space and a stable 100Mbit connection (250GB+ Bandwidth). The connection is the most impotent as this is for my experimental cdn project. I don't really care if it is OpenVZ or KVM, however i prefer KVM.

Can do 384MB RAM 30GB hard disk unlimited traffic @ 100Mbps for the price your looking for. Visit our website or contact me.
VPS nodes are in Atlanta USA OpenVZ or KVM
And "Atlanta USA" is now in Africa, or in South America?
...
did you mean 100Mbit unmetered bandwith? if doubt you can get that on africa or south america
Its south of the States you guys gonna moan at me again cause am crap at geography?
@tuguhost
Just stable, 500GB Bandwidth is more then enough to start with.
@bigrobsweb
I already have a vps in Los Angles and New York, if my project is a succes i will buy one of your vps's.
Cheers m8 wish you luck and hope you find what your looking for.
Yep, nope, not even far outside the LEB range - In special with that traffic.
Trust me, i know it.
Vps.co.za has very reliable Xen VPS's in South Africa but you're not going to get a plan with 500GB bandwidth for $7 anywhere in Africa because bandwidth is extremely expensive. For $7 you might be able to get a plan with 10-50GB monthly bandwidth.
these may or may not still be in stock: http://www.vps.co.za/lowendbox-south-africa
For South America Edis has plans in your price range in Chile but most connections from Chile to other South American countries will route up through Miami and back down again. Using a provider in Miami is probably your best bet if you want to reach multiple countries in South America.
oh oke, dont know about africa provider that can offer that much bandwith for near your price
but i know edis offer vps in chile for 5 euro

DNS? CDN? What unrealistic overdone idea this time? (e.g. DNS and CDN without anycast is next to useless)
Nothing personal, but pretty sure that even a 7 year old knows that Africa isn't in the states...
Budget €35/Month
Goal: <100ms all around the world. (Expect Hawaii)
Hmm, CDN or DNS?
CDN doesn't need anycast but eats bandwidth like hell. That CAN work, but usually ends up more expensive than existing solutions.
A DNS is really worthless if you don't have an anycast network and decent programming skills to implement features on demand. (if you need DNS, try integrate dns4pro.com or rage4.com)
You can try Edis - Chile

@Frost
1 DNS Server which selects the fastest server based on geoip. Remeber this is just for experimental purposes and still needs alot of tweaking.
I got the 256MB Chile from Edis and the 256MB From vpsnine (South Africa - http://www.vpsnine.com/servers.php)
Thanks for helping!
Host1Free has VPS on Brazil.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_America
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Africa
You can have a look at https://www.vpsnine.com . They have South Africa as a location. Also, their cheapest $10/month includes 300gb bandwidth and 10gb HDD with 256mb ram. They also have a 15% off coupon on their header. (They use Hetzner's Cape Town location, which is pretty much MTN's Cape Town datacenter)
My VPS in their Cape Town location, is currently doing about 1.5gb per day in bandwidth. Not as much as my other locations, but it is fairly stable. The server also has 156 days of uptime, and I think I broke the chain by restarting it once.
I recently did just that. It's fun, and very eye opening. ;-) Network peering starts to suck outside of North America and Europe! I am more than happy to share my results with you, but I sense you will want to do a lot of learning on your own. Feel free to ask for any details or assistance. Good luck!
In south america at least, traffic is not a problem itself, the problem is
mainly with bandwidth speed/costs despite the power/hardware/IP costs
(as bandwitdth usually is unmetered).
Also, it works slightly different from other places in the world, countries
do not have very good peering, so your best bet for putting a latency
server in LATAM is to go to Miami (in our experience).
No... that is NEVER the case in Africa...
You're probably confused with the old USSR countries like Russia and Ukraine :-P
heh, that's why I said "In south america at least"
Oops, didn't read that! :-)
Well, those lines are so oversold that they are essentially the same as GB billing :-D
haha, well it depends on the provider and the carriers and latency also, but despite
all that, there are incredible costs, like USD 20 /mo the IP address (on some ISP's).
I spend about $25/month and get <200ms around the world.
That's very close to my experiences too, I achieved <200ms at 95% coverage with $32/month (3 locations). However, my costs nearly quadrupled while moving to >98% coverage at <200ms, and then tripled trying to reduce it to <100ms at 95% coverage (using Pingdom RUM). Add in further costs for redundancy, etc.,....
Of course this is all complicated by the mix of your site visitors.
Edit: BTW, I've had great success using @Increhost for covering Latin America. IPv6, SSD, hard-core datacenter, and quality network.
Bandwidth more expensive and IP addresses much more scarce.
I will give them a try. Thanks for sharing experiences.
Chilean BW edis is very poor

Maybe is link speed ? (in our case it is as is maxing out the link in UY):
