I manage a small design agency in Santiago, and we’ve recently built a few websites for clients who complained about slow loading speeds. Most of them are targeting audiences in Chile, but their sites are hosted in the U.S. or Europe. I’m wondering if moving everything to a VPS hosted directly in Chile would help improve performance for local users. Has anyone here tested this kind of setup?
I went through the same situation with my photography portfolio site. It was hosted in North America, and although it worked fine abroad, people in Chile kept telling me the pages took too long to load. Switching to vps Chile solved the issue immediately—photos open quickly, and navigation feels smooth for everyone visiting from here. What I liked most was the stability, especially during peak hours when traffic spiked after posting new content. For any business focusing on local clients, hosting in Chile makes a noticeable difference.
