Which state should i host my server in? - Steven - 10-13-2012 11:57 PM I am unable to pick a location and was told each would affect how my business server will be affected. Such as tax rate, internet speed for my customers and other laws. The options i have is US East (Northern Virginia), US West (Oregon), US West (Northern California), EU (Ireland), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), South America (Sao Paulo). My main target in my website is Americans especially since the site is English for the beta(starting) phase. Thank you for your response. P.S. the type of website is a Social Media site(Facebook can be an example). - me - 10-14-2012 12:05 AM Anywhere in the US doesn't matter a bit. The location of your web server has no impact on any taxes. Just get a good provider like Rackspace or Liquid Web. The quality of the network is what matters. If you want USA customers be sure the server is in the USA for search engine indexing purposes. - tess - 10-14-2012 12:05 AM No, it doesn't maater. Take into consideration that web hosting is a global service. It does not matter what country you are located in; US, UK, Canada, Australia or India. It is good to note that the cost of hosting services in most countries is generally a little more expensive in comparison to the same services in Canada and the United States. Specifically, American web hosts offer a much better value for money than any local hosting. As an experienced webmaster I recommend BH which I’m sure it would work for you and fulfill all your requirements. They have a really great offer for hosting & I have used them for over 4 yrs now, and have never had a single problem with them.
