Looking for a web hoster for domains in different countries.

Hello. Let me explain very briefly what I intend to do. I want to create 6 sites, (same content but different language). Instead of putting them all under the same domain, I want 6 different domains, each one with a specific country TLD (especifically, domain.com (English) domain.it (Italian), domain.es (Spanish), domain.de (German), domain.pt (portuguese) and domain.fr (French). The reason behind this is to give a "local" feel to my guests.

In order to rank better with search engines, it is reccomendable to host each domain in its specific country (domain.pt in Portugal and so on...). I am looking for a web hoster that can give me the full service and can give me a host plan to host each site in a server from its specific country. Does anyone here know any web hoster who can give this service? Thanks for any help from you members.

Nobody knows of any hosting companies who give this service?

Doesn't matter at all where they are hosted.

Thank you Scott. I understand it is important in order to be considered "local" by search engines. If for example you have a ".com", hosted in a portuguese server, I have read that portuguese google considers this site as local in Portugal. Have I misunderstood this?

The only way it could do that would be to geocode the IP address to find out the country. I have never heard that it would do such, nor any reason to do such.

I did'nt think so, it's effect your search results,

it's very hard to find the local server with one hosting company

Yeah I wouldn't bother about it mate. Whack it all on one host to start with and see how it goes.
