Your Web Site IP Location
July 11th, 2011 // 11:22 am @ admin
What should you do if you are promoting a website for a specific location such as Spain or France? If customers are searching for something located in Spain or France, host the site in this location. Many experts say that it really helps to host the site in the country of your target market. This is because your website will be exposed enough for Google and other major search engines to notice it. In addition, hosting the site in the country of the target market is also very logical.
However, I believe that it shouldn’t be that way. Many of us host sites in the US for instance and are located in Europe. Nevertheless, it has proven useful to me in the past to host my sites in the country of my main market.
Of course, the domain name is also important if you have a .es(spain), .fr(france), .de(germany). Etc. This is also another factor that you must take into account. You could also host part of your website in different servers:
