There are many reasons why you’re hosting should be located in Australia, but a lot of people don’t know what they are. So I decided that it was time to go through some of the reasons with you:

You want to make sure that your websites users are going to find your site easy to use right? Well one of the biggest things which help make your site user friendly is to have short loading times. Like phones; the greater the distance, the longer it takes for information to travel. So if your intended market is in Australia you should make sure that the host (who is essentially storing your website on their server) is located as close as possible to your audience.

Another thing to consider is: if your website is hosted by an overseas company, Google may assume that this is where you are from and that your website is more relevant in that country than where you’re really from. This means that Google may not rank you as high as some of your competitors when a local user searches for your product or service.

Lastly if your web host is located in Australia their work hours are going to be similar to yours, so if something does go wrong it will be much easier to get it fixed. No need to send emails back and forth or stay up late to contact overseas companies!

As we are a first world country we have great infrastructure to support large bandwidth and storage requirements, don’t put money in overseas company’s pockets when you could be supporting fellow Aussies. At HU Web Development we can provide you with suitable hosting for your website and the best part is that if you are developing a site through us, not only is your web host in Australia but we can deal with everything website related for you. This means that you don’t need to relay information between more than one company and you don’t have to worry about problems arising due to communication issues.
