    Hey,
    I am setting up a site which will get a lot of brazillian traffic. Do you think Brazillians will find it to be slow if I host it in Texas or California? Dedicated servers in Brazil seem to be really expensive.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hello,

    Well, as I can saw, and read around internet, if you want to rank better in Brazil, i better to have a hosting in Brazil, do you have a .br domain or a .com domain?

    Best regards,
    Jakomo

    It's pretty common for non-us domains to be hosted in the US. Brazil should have pretty good connectivity to the US.

    If you were talking about AU/JP/UK, I would say host it there, but Brazil is pretty speedy to the US.

    Hi,
    Thank you for the advice. Do you know the best place to register com.br names, or where to buy good ones? Can godaddy control them?
    Thanks in advance.
