Hi, I want to create a Spanish site with the Spanish IP address. But one of my friends showed me a French hosting company which offers better price for the virtual space and dedicated spanish IP. I know their data center is in France. And I'm confused if I have spanish IP but data center in France, is it sure that will be like we are in spain? And is there some negative influence in SEO? Thanks Chorizons
I don't think there will be any negative influence in SEO, of course on Google's country specific search pages that may change however. Also, if your hosting company is in France, your server and site will look like it's from France. Your own personal IP doesn't dictate the location of your website.
Hosting have no direct impact on site's performance on Google rankings, only when there are so many hosting problems like failure to load pages frequently or no protection against virus/hacker attacks. It's fine to go with that or any other hosting company.
