    Just wondering how many people outside the US use hosting/servers located in your own country?

    Or is everyone using US based hosting?

    I know. That's why I'm asking :p

    I pay crazy money to host some of my sites in AU (compared to US hosting), but it pays off in the long run.

    I use UK hosting for the 'sites that matter', and US hosting for those that are of less importance. Mission critical, so to speak. According to DigitalPoint's geo-tracking tool, my company is based on the Isle of White, some miles away from the actual business location. Hell, even the servers aren't based on the Isle of White:confused:

    I've never quite got this...why isn't our company listed in 'Find a business' on Google Maps, which allows you to measure the distance between point X and point Y? Thus helping me slightly understand the geological placement of our site. Our site has a PR6, 9 sitelinks (2 blocked), 9,000+ backlinks...yet, nowhere to be found!?:confused:!

    I hope most of the webmasters use a US based host because it is considered cheap but dependable :)
