If you are a UK company and need UK traffic (customers) then hosting in the UK is a necessity.
Currently there are a whole raft of new startup companies that are buying . These fly-by-night resellers know very little about good support and how to manage web servers; also, telephone call costs could far out-weigh the savings when things go wrong. There are many other reasons why you should choose :
- This discussion on Webhostingtalk
concluded that there are LEGAL issues to consider, such as Data Protection!
- Data protection issues with hosting outside the UK - if you host outside the EU you maybe breaking the law by moving customer data outside the EU unless you have specific permission from each customer. Holding and transporting data outside the EEA (European Economic Area)
- "If you want to ensure that your site is ranked well in a country specific index then you either have to own a domain name with a suffix from that country or your web site has to be hosted in that country. A .co.uk domain name hosted in the US will show up if you search UK Only on a search engine as will a .com or .net if it has a UK IP address."

- If you have a TLD (.com, .net, .org, etc..) then it is even more important to host in the UK: highrankings.com/forum/

Although there is a split on opinion the evidence sways towards UK web hosting where the business needs UK custom. IF YOU NEED TO ATTRACT UK CUSTOMERS YOU MUST CHOOSE WEB HOSTING that is hosted in the UK. Is the risk worth it? If it affects the successfulness of your business it is! Better to use a real UK web host and relax. Whether it is UK Reseller Business Hosting (as ranked by Google), UK PHP hosting (as ranked by Google), or UK Managed Dedicated Servers (as ranked by Google) you require then ensure your server/website is hosted correctly within the UK.

It may cost you up to 30% per year more to
host in the UK as opposed to hosting in the US
but this is a tiny amount to ensure your business success in the UK.
Succeed by hosting with a good UK host rather than making small savings by hosting
in the US.
Take care and select your
web host with diligence.
