    Hi Everybody,

    I have a website ( .COM ext) and 65 % of my visitors are from the UK and 90 % of my business are from UK visitors. My site is hosted with 1&1 and the server is in Germany.

    My target audience is global audience but i also want majority of my visitors to be from UK.

    Now should I consider changing my server from Germany to UK or US? Will I see and increase in traffic and rankings if I change my server?

    If it is better for me to change, which is better UK or US.

    And also any recemondations on hosting.

    Any input will be highly appreciated.

    If your visitor mostly from UK, just use UK servers.
