      Here's a question I can't seem to find an answer to.

      Does web hosting within a targeting city make a different in the engines?

      For example, a site targeting the Denver area, with web hosting in Denver. Will this boast the ranking or is targeting limited to countries?

      Thanks!

        I've never seen any evidence or indication that it matters what city your web hosting is in.

          Agree with Adam. A lot of people in the UK use US web hosting and it makes no difference (from what I have seen) to rankings.
