If my website is hosted by US server, will it affect my local search engine rating in Singapore?

I have a website with a .com address which is hosted by a company in US, would it be better to change the web hosting domain locally here in Singapore so that it will increase the rating of a local search engines like Yahoo.com.sg or Google.com.sg?

If my website is hosted by US server, will it affect my local search engine rating in Singapore?

Yes, Google does log and weigh IP address location. Your best bet is to get hosting in Singapore and register with all of the local search engines as well as purchase and upload the website to a Singapore top level domain name.

Hope this helps!

There are so many variables. Singaporean are not net savvy from the questions they are asking here. Many don%26#039;t know about search engines and using key words to filter them. Local domains are expensive too. Hosting companies are expensive due to small business populations. Some even host it in US servers. Your best bet is your content. Find a web host that provides you data on who were logged on, from which sites, keywords they use, how many times your web site is crawled by web robots. Adjust your content accordingly. Get a web-friendly, open source templates such as wordpress. Avoid custom web designers, there are bs artists among them, with designs which are either outdated, impossible to modify, slow, icompatible in many browser platform, expensive.
