Sao Paulo is SurferCloud's Brazilian anchor and the southernmost of the three Americas locations, alongside Los Angeles and Washington. The node code is BR(Sao Paulo), and its job in the network is straightforward: it is the shortest route to Brazilian and wider South American audiences, whose traffic otherwise has to cross to the northern hemisphere before it reaches them.
Sao Paulo also carries one quirk that shapes how the prices below should be read. Across the promotional tables, this node and Dubai are the two places where the default system disk shrinks to 20GB instead of the usual 40GB — a difference the promotion pages state in plain terms, and one worth knowing before comparing configurations. Eight promotions are live at this node on today's refresh, and every figure below is read from the rendered table rather than from a rate card.
A useful distinction runs through the whole list. Some offers are priced node by node — UHost, Windows, the trial plan, and hourly billing — and those are the ones that make Sao Paulo's placement genuinely cost something different. The rest (ULightHost, the annual special deals, the $1/mo cards, and the quant line) carry the same price at every node, so they are described here as covering Sao Paulo at the standard rate rather than as a local discount. If you are weighing the Americas nodes against each other, our Los Angeles node roundup is the companion piece.
UHost is the elastic compute line: dedicated vCPU, dedicated bandwidth, and unmetered traffic on every tier. Its promotional table is priced per node, and it runs two tabs — a New User Deal limited to new customers with renewal at the regular price, and an All Users Save tab open to everyone with the renewal price locked. The table below is the New User Deal pricing for Sao Paulo.
The shape of this table is worth naming because it inverts the usual assumption. The promotional entry price holds steady across the nodes; what moves from location to location is the list price, and therefore how deep the discount looks. Here the entry tier lists at $31.4/mo against a $6.9/mo sale, and the gap widens tier by tier up to $321/mo list on the largest configuration.
| CPU & RAM | Bandwidth | Traffic | Sale price | List price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2C 2G | 1/2Mbps | Unmetered | $6.9/mo | $31.4/mo |
| 2C 4G | 2/5Mbps | Unmetered | $10.9/mo | $44.8/mo |
| 4C 8G | 2/5Mbps | Unmetered | $18.9/mo | $82.8/mo |
| 8C 16G | 5/10Mbps | Unmetered | $36.9/mo | $169/mo |
| 16C 32G | 5/10Mbps | Unmetered | $68.9/mo | $321/mo |
The Windows VPS promotion ships a genuine Windows Server licence at no extra cost and charges no setup fee, and its table is priced per node. Sao Paulo's entry configuration lists at $31.40/mo and sells at $14.13/mo, with bandwidth stepping up from 1/2 Mbps at the bottom of the range to 5/10/20 Mbps at the top. The licence is the point of this line rather than the price gap: it is included in the bill rather than added to it. Note that this table shows a 20,40G disk range at Sao Paulo, consistent with the 20GB default mentioned across the promotion pages. For how the licence-included route compares with a self-managed instance, the trade-offs in choosing between UHost and ULightHost apply just as well here.
| CPU & RAM | Disk | Bandwidth | System | List price | Sale price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2C 2G | 20,40G | 1/2 Mbps | Linux/Windows | $31.40/mo | $14.13/mo |
| 2C 4G | 20,40G | 2/5 Mbps | Linux/Windows | $44.80/mo | $20.16/mo |
| 4C 8G | 20,40G | 2/5/10 Mbps | Linux/Windows | $82.80/mo | $37.26/mo |
| 8C 16G | 20,40G | 5/10/20 Mbps | Linux/Windows | $169.00/mo | $76.05/mo |
| 16C 32G | 20,40G | 5/10/20 Mbps | Linux/Windows | $321.00/mo | $144.45/mo |
The trial promotion exists so a workload can be measured on real hardware before it is bought, and it is priced per node. Every configuration is quoted twice, once for a three-day block and once for a seven-day block, and both columns appear below. Sao Paulo's entry plan runs $1.9 for three days against a $6.74 list, or $3.9 for seven days against a $15.74 list. The offer is limited to one participation per customer and one unit per purchase, and the price reverts to the regular rate once the trial window closes. This is one of the two nodes where the trial's default system disk is 20GB rather than 40GB. If you want to make the window count rather than simply spin up an instance, the method in running a cloud server trial as a measurable evaluation applies directly.
| CPU & RAM | Bandwidth | Traffic | 3-day sale | 3-day list | 7-day sale | 7-day list |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2C 2G | 5/10Mbps | Unmetered | $1.9 | $6.74 | $3.9 | $15.74 |
| 2C 4G | 10/20Mbps | Unmetered | $4.9 | $14.62 | $6.9 | $34.12 |
| 4C 8G | 20/50Mbps | Unmetered | $5.9 | $33.07 | $10.9 | $77.17 |
| 8C 16G | 50/100Mbps | Unmetered | $14.9 | $82.72 | $24.9 | $193.02 |
Hourly billing is priced the same at every node except Hong Kong, so Sao Paulo's meter matches the global rate rather than offering a local saving: the entry configuration bills at $0.07 per instance-hour, rising to $0.61 for a 16C 32G instance, with dedicated CPU and dedicated bandwidth on every tier. The promotion page states plainly that hourly billing is not discounted and points at the monthly deals instead, which makes the choice here a simple question of how long the instance runs — the hourly-versus-monthly break-even works through that arithmetic, while the short version is that the meter wins on bursty workloads and the promotions above win on anything that stays up. One detail specific to this node: the free system disk is 20GB at Sao Paulo rather than the usual 40GB.
| CPU & RAM | Bandwidth (Mbps) | Traffic | Starting price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2C 2G | 1~10,000 | Unmetered | $0.07 |
| 2C 4G | 1~10,000 | Unmetered | $0.08 |
| 4C 8G | 1~10,000 | Unmetered | $0.16 |
| 8C 16G | 1~10,000 | Unmetered | $0.31 |
| 16C 32G | 1~10,000 | Unmetered | $0.61 |
The ULightHost lightweight line is the cheapest route onto the platform, and its card pricing is identical on every node, so Sao Paulo is covered here at the standard rate rather than at a node-specific discount. Eight cards are listed across two deal tracks: a New User Deal that renews at the regular price, and an All Users Save track with the renewal price locked — with the single exception of the annual Lite card. Every plan includes one dedicated IPv4 address, 30M bandwidth, unlimited inbound traffic, and support for Linux or Windows. The line is a fixed-configuration appliance that cannot be resized, which is the main reason to weigh it against UHost rather than on price alone; the difference between the two lines is the more useful comparison.
| Deal | Tier | CPU / RAM | Disk | Outbound traffic | Sale price | List price | Save |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| New User Deal | Essential | 1vCPU / 2GB | 40GB NVMe | 1TB | $2.9/mo | $7.5/mo | 62% |
| New User Deal | Starter | 2vCPU / 2GB | 60GB NVMe | 2TB | $3.9/mo | $9.5/mo | 59% |
| All Users Save | Essential | 1vCPU / 2GB | 40GB NVMe | 1TB | $6.75/mo | $7.5/mo | 10% |
| All Users Save | Starter | 2vCPU / 2GB | 60GB NVMe | 2TB | $7.6/mo | $9.5/mo | 20% |
| All Users Save | Standard | 2vCPU / 4GB | 80GB NVMe | 3TB | $10.4/mo | $13/mo | 20% |
| All Users Save | Plus | 4vCPU / 4GB | 100GB NVMe | 3TB | $19.5/mo | $26/mo | 25% |
| All Users Save | Ultimate | 4vCPU / 8GB | 120GB NVMe | 4TB | $24/mo | $32/mo | 25% |
| All Users Save | Lite | 1vCPU / 1GB | 40GB NVMe | 200GB | $9.9/year | $48/year | 80% |
The entry-level card promotion starts at $1/mo and prices the same on every node, Sao Paulo included. Four cards are listed, each capped at 30M bandwidth with one dedicated IPv4 address, from a 1C 1G Essential card at $1/mo up to a 2C 4G Ultimate card at $3.9/mo. As with the other new-user tiers on this page, the headline price applies to the first billing period and the card auto-renews at the regular rate.
| Tier | CPU / RAM | Disk | Sale price | List price | Save |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | 1vCPU / 1GB | 40GB NVMe | $1/mo | $4/mo | 75% |
| Starter | 1vCPU / 2GB | 40GB NVMe | $1.9/mo | $6/mo | 68% |
| Plus | 2vCPU / 2GB | 60GB NVMe | $2.9/mo | $7/mo | 59% |
| Ultimate | 2vCPU / 4GB | 80GB NVMe | $3.9/mo | $9/mo | 57% |
The annual promotion covers ULightHost and UHost on monthly, 6-month, and annual cycles, and its Lite Server table prices identically at every node. The ten annual rows below are worth reading as a set: the sale column is exactly half the list column on every single row. Ten traffic tiers are offered, running from 200GB to 4096GB, and the plan is billed on an annual cycle rather than monthly.
| CPU | RAM | Disk | Traffic | List price | Sale price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1C | 1G | 40G | 200GB | $48.00/year | $24.00/year |
| 1C | 1G | 40G | 1024GB | $66.00/year | $33.00/year |
| 1C | 2G | 40G | 400GB | $72.00/year | $36.00/year |
| 1C | 2G | 40G | 1024GB | $90.00/year | $45.00/year |
| 2C | 2G | 60G | 600GB | $84.00/year | $42.00/year |
| 2C | 2G | 60G | 2048GB | $114.00/year | $57.00/year |
| 2C | 4G | 80G | 800GB | $108.00/year | $54.00/year |
| 2C | 4G | 80G | 3072GB | $156.00/year | $78.00/year |
| 4C | 4G | 100G | 3072GB | $312.00/year | $156.00/year |
| 4C | 8G | 120G | 4096GB | $384.00/year | $192.00/year |
The quant line is built for algorithmic trading and Web3 workloads: nodes are placed within 100km of the major exchanges, 25G plus RDMA networking is used, and the service is positioned as directly connected to exchange and blockchain RPC endpoints. This table prices identically at every node, so Sao Paulo carries it at the standard rate. Six configurations are listed, with the smallest starting at $15.49/mo and the largest at $237.68/mo. The line is optimised for placement rather than for general hosting, so if raw compute per dollar is the metric that matters, the cloud server pricing benchmarks are the fairer comparison.
| CPU | RAM | Disk | Bandwidth | List price | Sale price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1C | 2G | 40G | 1/2 M | $19.37/mo | $15.49/mo |
| 2C | 2G | 40G | 1/2 M | $30.24/mo | $24.19/mo |
| 2C | 4G | 40G | 2/5 M | $41.81/mo | $33.45/mo |
| 4C | 8G | 40G | 2/5/10 M | $76.82/mo | $61.46/mo |
| 8C | 16G | 40G | 5/10/20 M | $157.05/mo | $125.64/mo |
| 16C | 32G | 40G | 5/10/20 M | $297.10/mo | $237.68/mo |
Several conditions are stated on the promotion pages themselves and apply regardless of which plan is purchased:
Each promotion has its own purchase page, and each link below carries the Sao Paulo offer set:
Two things are worth carrying away from this page. The first is that Sao Paulo is the one Americas node where the default system disk shrinks to 20GB, so a configuration that fits comfortably elsewhere may need a disk add-on here. The second is that the promotional entry price on UHost is flat across nodes while the list price is not, which means the headline "$6.9/mo" says less about location than the struck-through figure beside it. On placement, choosing a region by its latency floor sets out what any South American node can and cannot fix, and five measurements to take before buying a cloud server is the sizing companion if the disk detail changes which tier you pick.
