Using American hosting when you're in the UK

**Rush^** · 08-22-2006, 09:59 AM

I get the impression that this is going to be one of the most stupid questions ever asked on this forum but i'd rather be ridiculed that ignorant so i'm gonna ask anyway :)

I live in the UK and i was about to sign up to dreamhost. Looking at their sign-up form however it has things like state, zip code and the country is set as US. I was just wondering if this meant that i wasn't allowed to host with them if i didn't live in the US.

Thanks in advance.

Just put the UK equivalent of state and zip code.

i live also in the EU, and i use US servers and hosting, just because its fast, cheap and get alot of space and traffic with.

I personally wouldn't bother with UK servers for the reasons the last poster mentioned. It's only necessary if you're running a game server business aimed at UK gamers. Avoid 4U-Servers at all costs if you do go the UK route.
