Default Offshore hosting

Quick question...is it a bad idea to have a UK-based website hosted on a US-based server? If so, why?

Thanks in advance

Vicky

1) If you are not using a .uk domain name, google won't list you in the google UK search listings.

2) Offshore hosting can be slower for your users than UK based hosting depending on where it is.

Wow, that was quick! Thanks, Khalid. It would be for a co.uk domain and a small brochure site rather than a complex e-commerce site.
