We often get asked is it worth using a budget overseas company to host a website, in short the answer is NO, here is a brief conversation I had recently to emphasise the point when asked about using a budget hosting company based not in the UK.
They are one of a huge amount of hosting companies that have their servers situated somewhere other than UK. Having UK based servers is one of the SEO basics, its one of the essentials we check for when reviewing websites. I would say that out of over 450 domains we have created and optimised only 3 are not hosted by us and all our SEO successes are with websites hosted on our award winning UK servers.
We are happy for you to arrange your own hosting and for you to provide us with the codes to access the website but in general you will find they are cheap for a reason. We have spend 5 years finding the best hosting company and this has been confirmed by PC Pro who have put the company we use in the top 3 for the last 3 years since they have been rating them. You will find that by saving a few £ early on will always either cost you more long term or cost you more in website downtime or extra stress and hassle
