If t is the Internet it does not matter where is the Host or the customers.

To put a Host in Peru is probably much more expensive.

Whether people in Peru will use this service it is his call.

However if he really think it has a chance it is much better that you will buy for him a Hosting services (some goes as low as $3 a month), and he can use it from Peru through the Internet without your intervention.

Example: www.8-95.com

Hosting active site on your broadband connection is very slow and might get you into trouble with your ISP.
