Server move
Just to let you know that we'll be moving server tomorrow morning, all things being good.
Although I've no real complaints about my US server at Liquidweb, I really want to host Platinax in the UK, on a UK server. So tomorrow we should be moving to the new server I have at Clook. Hopefully everything wil go fine.

Re: Server move
That was quick mate, but why move everything to the UK, is it more cost efficient?

Re: Server move
Not at all.
My server in the US cost £180/month to run - the equivalent in the UK is costing me £280! The difference is that I'm really trying to ensure I have a strong presence on UK searches on Google UK. Although simply having a UK domain (ie, .co.uk, .org.uk, etc) is good enough to qualify for UK only listings - I have it on authority that a UK IP will strengthen your rankings on .co.uk. Although the UK server costs more in the short term, by removing some advertising, and moving a couple of reseller accounts to it, I reduce those immediate costs. And in the longer term, I think the overall benefits will certainly outweigh the costs for targeting the UK internet marketplace.
