host in local country or US?

[vinnythejinny]

i will be launching a consulting business in my country (Its in asia) and wondering whether i should just host with the local guys here or just use USA hosting providers.

I believe google favours local hosting when it comes to local ranking. Since my focus is mainly the local market, what do u guys recommend?

If you believe Matt Cutts then get localized hosting. I think it does not play a huge part but probably helps if you want to rank in your local search engine. I think the TLD is more important though..

I would prefer to go with hosting in USA compare to hosting in local country if you are in asia

As your target market is your own country, if you can get reliable local hosting then why not? But I really don't think it is a major factor, you can set your target country in Google Webmaster Tools.

I always go with local hosting. It definitely helps with SERP and latency to your local market.

For the sites I worked on,it made a difference but that's not really statistical relevant.

hosting location means nothing. just get country specific tld and local links.

I tend to host my servers in stable countries and also stable regions of a country.
Meaning that areas that are not prone to hurricanes, tornadoes, or earthquakes.
Power outages are not fun for the DC or my servers.

No need for a second thought.
Go for hosting in U.S That must be cheap and reliable.
Contact a datacenter, and ask them abt co-location.
Burstnet is a good one.

Always use servers in US, light years ahead of my country.
