Which one better, US server or UK server, need suggestion

So far I have used US Hosting services for reseller or master reseler and I heard a UK Server is also good. There is a good idea ...?

its actually depends on your niche and visitors. What Market you are going to target? USA or UK/EU? If i have a plan to target USA Market then why should i get a UK Account? Same if i have customers/visitors from UK, then a UK based server will attract more customers than a USA Server.

oh i see, that means the geographical location is also influential.

Yes... you should prefer a location from where your websites get most visitors.

There are 70 ms - 140 ms latency between different U.S. and UK sites. If you are serving UK based Internet users, you;d better host in the UK. If you serve global audience both U.S. and UK would work fine. Tell us more about your website/project

HI, Where are you based? Where are your customers based?

Both US and UK servers are better. Where to buy the server would depend upon, where the majority of your customers come from? If you are willing to expand your business in UK then get a reseller hosting account in UK as well.

Exactly, depends on those two questions...

I know you say there are only 70ms between loading times but can your brain even notice that much differents I don't think so. I think its only psychological that if we live in the uk we need a uk based servers.

All depends on your location. If you are UK based, get a uk server. if you are USA based and USA customers get a US server. if you are worldwide, look into getting a UK or USA server and run it through a CDN like Cloudflare.

USA server is fine for customers in the UK, we cope fine and we used to have UK servers until the cost got the better of us. UK servers are expensive to run so we migrated to USA servers for now, and no-one has complained about connections and I can view my sites fine and I'm from the UK myself.

I found that with my VPS they are lot more expensive here in the uk. so I moved to Knowhost were you get a lot more for your buck. They charge only £2 for WHMCS bargain!!! Last edited by Ninjapanther Hosting; 01-17-2014 at 05:37 PM.
