Host from which country is the best ?

[amandeep]

Today internet is so popular and borderless, people do business worldwide and hosting company comes from many countries. As we know US company are expanding and open up data centre Indian, China, Malaysia and Singapore to capture the new growing market. Frankly speaking cost in these countries is much lower and hosting company is making good income if they offer the same rate as US counterpart. They still make good money if the offer the same price as US counterpart.

which country is your preferred choice and why?

thanks

I would go for the country in which you are located.

There are a few countries that people block outright. China, for example, is blocked by some people. I would go with US, Western Europe, Japan or some other "law-abiding" country.

Hi,
The best thing is to host in a country where visitors are coming from. However if you have a international site I'd recommend to have it on a US server. Also one should keep in mind that Search Engines give value to geographical location for local searches, as a example if your site is in a UK server and if you move it to a US server you could experience a drop in UK SE (search Engine) visitors.
