	I am in the UK. If I were to host my WWF forum on a Server in the US, would I notice a speed issue or is Trans-Atlantic traffic so fast nowadays that it's the same as hosting in the UK ? Cheers.

	Up until recently I have always hosted this site in the US and didn't have any issues with speed problems. However, I recently changed to hosting this site ourselves in the UK and there is quite a noticable increase in speed. Also with US server you have the issue of different time and date settings compared with UK servers. You may want to check out Web Wiz Guides own UK based web hosting services at www.webwiz.net

	Speed issues will vary from host to host. Some have priority contracts with multiple trans-oceanic providers, and some just go into the queue with normal traffic. There will always be some additional delay but the cheaper hosts may be 10-20 times slower. Doing ping and traceroute against your final selection list is useful.
	Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.
