Then you have either the option to pay 200-300% more than anyone else (like with Hostdime BR) or to not use Brazil based hosting. Simple as that.
I don't understand. Local providers charge 200-300% higher if their website supports English?

I recommend Host1Plus and Softlayer. There are some local providers but I need to verify if they are receiving international payments.
Thanks, I've corrected it. Didn't see it mentioned, must be a bit blind today :P

Yes, because in Brazil English = International business so they charge you more. Why? Because they can and you need the server. Staff cost for it is not the main cost factor anymore as education gets better. Locals have rather low income so the local targeted sellers have to adjust pricing for them.

I can guarantee to you that speak in english isn't common here. A english speaker can earn from 10% to 15% more than a non-english speaker at the same position, even if for some positions english is a need.

Ya, support the IP hoarders - great idea
They have good services and good prices here. Almost every time their prices are lower than local providers as RedeHost, Locaweb, UOLHost, etc.
Equinix was Alog later. They have the best DC on this humble land, and host some of the biggest companies out here like Petrobrás, Coca Cola, Vale, etc.
I was looking at my providers and you will find international payments and english support on:

Sure, because they rip off IPs from LACNIC and sell/rent them on the side.

Can confirm. I live on the third biggest city of Brazil, biggest of the northeast (Salvador, Bahia). Anything is expensive here. But on average what I said is true

HostDime has a Brazil POP, maybe check that out.
It seems they only have managed servers. I'm looking for self-managed servers.
https://www.tavola.com.br/ - two DCs available
It seems their website doesn't support English?
@comXyz - nothing unusual
But I'm looking for providers that their website support English language.

I would guess as they have in house english staff/translators. Higher/more qualifications = higher costs.
http://oneprovider.com/ provides servers in 100 countries all over the world...
And also in Brazil, if you like them then go with it.
They have two datacenters in Brazil -
Fully English website+control panel
@comXyz - the control panel is in English, their support also use English when necessary
And another brazil server provider I found is - http://maxihost.com.br/en/ (Also in english, and found on google, so not sure about service quality)
http://www.equinix.com.br/?idioma=en
100% in english
plus one http://www.matrix.com.br/home/corporate-cloud.html?idioma=english
tier 3 dc
and softlayer.

I don't recommend Locaweb, they have the worst support team on the entire earth.

Yes, I know. Let OP decide if it is a no go or if he will ignore it.
It seems the dedicated servers at Brazil are really expensive
Anything that isn't food or alcohol is expensive here.
Depends where you live in Brazil, food and alcohol can be really expensive too.

Mainly due to the insane import taxes the gov charges - 100%+ for some products which includes servers and things like laptops and ipads.
Only as a trivia, an average brazilian worker has to work five months a year just to pay taxes.
If you mean beer or cachaza with "alcohol" then I agree, if not, then it's imported, so ultra expensive too
