Country of hosting

    I'm targeting UK with my website, but I registered in with GoDaddy and also took their hosting which is not UK based (though it's supposed to be Europe based).

    In Google Webmaster Tools I set that the website is targeting UK. Is that enough or should I change hosting to UK based?

    So the answer would be that the settings in the WebM Tools have nothing to do with the way Google search engine treats your site? I could set it to China in the WM Tools, but that wouldn't change my SERP in Google.co.uk?

    I totally agree with you Bohra! I am based in Uk but I get all my hosting from US. And depending on which one you use thte loading might even be the same as in your country.
