Is Montevideo a good base for software exporters?
Yes. Uruguay's software industry exports services to clients across the Americas and Europe, and many companies keep development, staging and internal tools on local servers. A Montevideo VPS keeps those systems close to engineers, making builds, tests and deployments fast. KVM supports Docker, Kubernetes and self-hosted CI runners, and RAID-10 storage protects work in progress. Client production environments can stay in the client's preferred region, while development infrastructure lives in Uruguay where the team works every day. Zonamerica-based firms are a typical example.
Why is the transfer allowance lower than some other locations?
Uruguayan plans combine a dedicated 1 Gbps port, where the full connection is reserved for your server, with monthly transfer between 500 GB and 1.25 TB. That trade-off favours consistent, uncontended throughput over sheer monthly volume. For company websites, SaaS back ends, staging servers and business applications, the allowances are ample. If your project streams video or distributes large files, serve those through a CDN or object storage and keep the server for application logic, or discuss your needs with support before ordering.
Can I reach Buenos Aires and southern Brazil quickly from Montevideo?
Yes. Buenos Aires is just across the Río de la Plata, and routes to Porto Alegre and São Paulo are also efficient. Many Uruguayan companies serve customers in all three countries from a single Montevideo server, with Spanish and Portuguese versions of their sites. The dedicated port keeps throughput consistent for all users. Visitors in Mexico or Europe can be served through a CDN. Many Uruguayan firms operate on both sides of the river. Latency across the river is minimal, and Porto Alegre is close behind.
What are the benefits of RAID-10 storage?
RAID-10 combines striping, which spreads data across drives so they work in parallel, with mirroring, which keeps a full copy of everything on a second drive. You get good read and write performance plus protection against a single drive failure. If a disk fails, its mirror continues serving data while the faulty drive is replaced, and your server keeps running. For databases, accounting systems and any data your business cannot afford to lose, RAID-10 offers an excellent balance of speed and safety.
Can I host a fintech or payments application?
Yes. Montevideo has a growing fintech scene, and companies need stable, secure infrastructure close to their users and partners. KVM isolation, RAID-10 storage and a dedicated port provide a solid foundation. Encrypt sensitive data, restrict administrative access, keep detailed logs and back up to a second location. Any regulatory approval from Uruguay's central bank is your responsibility, so confirm obligations with advisers before launching. Because the server is unmanaged, your team controls every security measure and can document them for auditors.
Which Windows editions can I use?
Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019 and Windows 10 Pro are available on every plan above the entry tier, at the same price as Linux. Uruguayan firms commonly run accounting, ERP or design software on Windows, with staff connecting over Remote Desktop from the office or home. Check VM licensing with each vendor. The entry plan is Linux-only because Windows needs more resources to run comfortably. Design studios in Montevideo sometimes use this for rendering tools. Keep Windows patched monthly.
How do I use IPv6 on my Montevideo server?
IPv6 is available alongside your Uruguayan IPv4 address. Every mainstream OS supports it natively. Dual-stack connectivity lets visitors on IPv6-enabled networks reach you directly and allows you to assign public addresses to separate services or containers without buying additional IPv4. Remember to apply your firewall rules to IPv6 traffic as well, since some default configurations only filter IPv4, and request reverse DNS if your server sends email. Antel's fibre network already supports it widely. Antel customers on IPv6 will reach you natively.
What if my Montevideo server stops responding?
Most Montevideo lock-outs are fixed with a reboot and a console check. Montevideo staff can then force a restart and check the host. Hardware faults, including failed RAID drives, are replaced at no cost. For software issues, our Spanish-speaking team shares whatever the host logs reveal. Planned maintenance is announced by email beforehand, so you are rarely surprised. Keep an off-site backup in Buenos Aires or elsewhere for extra peace of mind. Describe the symptoms clearly in your ticket to speed up the diagnosis.
