Is Asunción a good base for companies trading with Brazil and Argentina?
Yes. Many companies register in Paraguay for its tax advantages and trade across the borders with Brazil and Argentina. An Asunción server gives them a genuine Paraguayan presence while offering efficient routes to São Paulo, Foz do Iguaçu, Posadas and Buenos Aires. Host Spanish and Portuguese versions of your site with hreflang tags, run customer portals for partners in both countries and keep business data in Paraguay. More distant visitors benefit from a CDN. Paraguayan maquila exporters often work this way.
Can I host a WhatsApp chatbot for Paraguayan customers?
Yes. WhatsApp is the main communication channel for many Paraguayan businesses, and chatbots handle orders, bookings and customer questions. The entry plan with 10 GB of SSD comfortably runs a bot written in Node.js, Python or PHP, since bots exchange small messages rather than large files. Choose more memory if your bot processes images or uses heavy libraries. Use the official WhatsApp Business API or a reputable provider, and keep tokens and customer data secure on your server. Guaraní-language replies work fine with UTF-8.
Why does redundant DNS matter?
DNS translates your domain name into your server's IP address. If your DNS provider has an outage, visitors cannot find your site even though the server itself is running. Redundant DNS uses several name servers in different locations, so if one fails, the others keep answering. Pairing redundant DNS with your Asunción VPS removes a common single point of failure. It is especially valuable for online shops, booking systems and any service where a few hours of unreachability would cost customers.
When is Windows available?
Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019 and Windows 10 Pro are available from the second tier upwards, at the same price as Linux. The entry plan is Linux-only because Windows needs more resources to run comfortably. Paraguayan businesses often run accounting or ERP software on Windows, with staff connecting over Remote Desktop from offices in Asunción, Ciudad del Este or Encarnación. Plan memory by headcount. Allocate memory by the number of users. Check each vendor's licence terms for virtual machines before installing, and keep a daily backup.
Is 10 GB of storage enough?
For a WhatsApp bot, a VPN or a simple website, 10 GB is often enough, since a minimal Linux system uses only a few gigabytes. Online shops with many images, databases and applications storing documents need more, so choose a higher tier. If you start small and run low on space, upgrading adds storage to your existing disk without migration. Keeping images optimised and moving large media to a CDN or object storage also helps you get the most from the available space.
Can I run a VPN for staff in several Paraguayan cities?
Yes, lawful VPN use is allowed. KVM supports WireGuard and OpenVPN, so an Asunción server can act as a secure gateway for employees working from home or travelling between Asunción, Ciudad del Este and Encarnación. Monitor transfer usage in the client area if many people keep tunnels open all day, since plans include between 2 and 6 TB per month. Free-zone traders in Ciudad del Este often rely on exactly this setup, connecting shop floors and warehouses to a central system in the capital.
Is 2 to 6 TB of monthly transfer enough?
For almost every Paraguayan business, yes. Even the smallest bundle comfortably carries a busy Paraguayan shop or portal. Only video-heavy or download-heavy projects tend to approach it, and a CDN solves that. Contact support before a known spike if you are unsure. Most Paraguayan sites use a fraction of it. Allowances reset every billing cycle, and the client area shows how much of yours has been used. Ciudad del Este retailers with large catalogues occasionally choose the bigger tiers, but most Paraguayan businesses never come close to the limit.
What if my Asunción server hangs or goes offline?
Begin with a reboot and a console session. A ticket then gets an engineer in Asunción to power-cycle it. Hardware failures are fixed at no cost. Guest-level faults are yours, but we reply in Spanish, Portuguese or English with any useful observations. The Asunción team can power-cycle the guest, inspect the host and trace network problems. Keep regular backups in another location, and describe the symptoms clearly in your ticket so the Asunción team can respond quickly. Most issues are resolved quickly.
