Web hosting, USA or AUS for Aus Sites.

[sportsforum]

I have a number of .com.au sites and and .com sites.

I currently use a USA host for my .com.au sites and .com sites

I was told that if I have a .COM site which is trying to attract an Australian audience I really should be hosting it with a Australian based host so the search engines can see that im trying to attract an audience here. WOuld this be the case or is it a MYTH?

Thanks in advance.

I don't know about how search engines will interpret this.

But your Australian users will probably notice a speed difference if you hosted in AUS. Only negative to this is that it is expensive, bandwidth there is pricey.

Yeh I know its pricey here, hence the reason I like the US hosting....

Just a question... though about the hosting...heres the deal right.

Im not totally up to speed with this but does the 'Host Unlimited Domains' mean i can host lets say 4 websites each with different domain name???

Hello sportsforum,

You can host as many domains are you would like to on that hosting. For either parked or addon domains.

This saves you purchasing hosting for each of your domains.

So yes, you can host 4 websites on that hosting each with their own domain.

If you are doing SEO
#1 - do not worry about web hosting location. Worry about web hosting uptime
#2 - web hosting location influence on page loading time for your customers

hey joe (or anyone else knowledgable too),
when you say "parked", do you get a better deal when you park a site on your own hosting, like that? is it a better return than, say namedrive, sedo (insert whatever parking company you like here)... even parked.com?
and are hosting companies set up on domain deals - ie. no content required for google ads etc?

I think they won't install software you have mentored. Anyway you can ask it as pre-sales question. I think that location for the SEO is nothing. As far as I know uptime is much more important thing. In this case I would recommend you have a look at web hosting companies offering good uptime. I can recommend you Westhost.com, Hqhost.net or NeoWebspace.com.
I believe in your region some decent providers can be found. But I think that anyway location is not an option for SEO. At least for google which has DC around the world. :tri:

No need to worry, make sure that you have plenty of incoming links from the sites hosted with Australian hosting companies.

I think that it is not an option for SEO where are links are comming from. IMO
