Does datacenter IP matter in non .com google?

I currently have a website located at top 20 positions in google.nl and my datacenter IP is also in NL. Due to bad server performance, I am moving my site to a US based datacenter with a faster server.

Can this effect my site position in google.nl?

 

Whats your domain cctld ?
if it is anything except your country related domain (.NL), its sure going to effect your position in google.nl

 

It is .nl, I also have some .com sites, but in this case it is only .NL

 

If you are running .com domains on .NL DataCenters and mocing to .US DataCenters (Web Hosts) you will see traffic decrease from google.nl

although, if you are having .nl domains on .NL DataCenter and mocing to .US DataCenters (Web Hosts) there wont be much change in traffic.

 

As San-DeeP says, hosting locations and domain extensions have the same effect:

.nl site hosted in the States will perform the same as .com hosted in the Netherlands.

There may be some exceptions to that but not that I'm aware.

 

This is interresting, I have a .dk site that does rather well in google, getting most of it's traffic from images.google.com, so you're saying it would have done even better if it was a .com domain? (it's hosted in the US btw).

 

hey blinxdk,

A country specific tld like .in or .nl or .co.uk gets listed on google.co.in, google.nl and google.co.uk engines only.
Similarly a domain with any tld (hosted in a specific country) gets there priroity in specific engine.

what you are talking about images.google.com is internationally categorized.

 

I'm not sure I understand (english as 2nd language).

I'm quite sure I am listed on google.com, either that or they show me results based on my location even though I go to the .com page.

Could you try and search for some of the following: nice drawings, zindy, fzr600r and see if I'm not up there in the top with either zindy.zone.dk or cze.dk?

I sure hope this is just because I don't understand what you guys mean
