hi, do i have to keep my site on british hosting if i want to rank better and get more visits from uk? is there any correlation between server location and visits from the region that i care of?
server location
- Thread starter notyourmatey
- Start date
I don't think it really makes a big difference. I have several .co.uk sites all on the first page of G but are hosted in the States. I am in the process of building some new sites some of which will be hosted in the states and some in the UK. As they are in the same niche and are all .org it will be interesting to see the results.

Server location does not matter in that case but it will provide better load/speed if you have a server in your targeted location

dats what i thought but this article really confused me
Server location doesn't matter (much).
Speed is important for SEO (at least Google), but that doesn't mean a few ms of difference would be much.
However, having a faster speed of loading is proven to be increasing converting rate. Thus, if you focus on that then server location should be put in account. For example, West Coast of US usually loads faster in Asian countries while East Coast usually loads faster for European countries.

Yes it does. If you visitor majority from U.K. It doesn't really make sense to put your server on Singapore or India. Put it where your majority visitor comes from and your site will be loaded faster.
