aussy hosting

[nahum]

I'm looking at getting up a rails site physically in Aussy and was
wondering if anyone had a VPS provider they recommended?

cheers,

Does it have to be Oz? The NZ vps market seems to be relatively
competitive

[nahum]

The main reason is that the the client wants it to appear when doing a
goole.com.au search for sites in Aussy. I'd assumed that the server
had to be within the aussy ip block??? Now I realise I'm assuming
which is bad, so am trying to find out how google does that - I've
searched for nz sites within nz that are not hosted here and they turn
up, so I'm wrong on that count.

anyone able to help with this, albeit slightly off-topic??

cheers,
nahum.

I'm pretty sure you can achieve showing up in country specific searches by either having an ip from that country, or telling google that your site is from that country via a setting in google webmaster tools.

This seems relevant http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2009/12/region-tags-in-google-search-results.html

awesome, that's exactly what I'm after. someone directly asks my
question in the comments and gets an answer saying that that's what
it's primarily for.

thanks,
nahum

Also have a .com.au domain name will help with Aussie searches as well
I think.

[nahum]

yeah :-) the clients site is gonna be running off a .com though...
got the .com.au redirecting though.

Nahum.
