Is it important to use UK VPS Hosting if my business is located in the UK?

[Max Foster]

Mostly UK online businesses have preferred to work with hosting companies from all around the world, due to cost benefit of cheaper bandwidth charges and to some degree the exchange rate benefit, mosty they prefer US Web Hosting as you get larger bandwidth ,space plus the cost is less.

But now With the importance of the web on speed and recently with Google’s announcement of page ranking based on the speed of websites, many UK online businesses are re-assessing their hosting requirements more closely and choosing to work with UK Web hosting providers. With the advent of virtual private servers, many businesses are choosing UK virtual private servers as a viable alternative for their hosting requirements.

Technology aside, a basic understanding of the local business environment was one of the many benefits that business owners enjoyed with choosing UK VPS providers. VPS hosting providers from outside of the UK were not as knowledgeable of the local business environment which could often lead to misunderstanding between the business and their clients. Choosing a UK VPS provider was therefore vital for UK businesses to help lower operating costs, create a great working relationship with their hosting provider and the benefit of paying for services in local currencies without worrying about rapid changes with exchange rates.

UK VPS services have been noted to have a number of important technical advantages for UK businesses that have taken up this option. Included in these advantages are faster speeds for local clients accessing UK websites. The businesses noted a significant improvement in loading speed of their company web pages, along with their clients being satisfied with a fast loading website; the number of online transactions made each day and the number of clients visiting UK websites increased as a result of this.

When it comes to technical support, UK VPS providers have yet another benefit to offer. Any issues that come up will be worked on fast and conveniently since the client and the provider are working in the same time zone. By using UK VPS hosting, you stand to enjoy another technical advantage in the form of search engine ranking. Most search engines will give priority to local websites which means improved ranking for those based in the UK. With a dedicated IP address which is what a virtual private server provides your website with gets more weight in most search engines.

There are a good number of benefits that can be enjoyed with local providers regardless of the kind of business being hosted by the UK VPS. These benefits are not only restricted to the business owners and providers but they are also felt in several other areas.
