New blog on a separate server to the main website?

[AB-Marketing]

We have a potential client who operates a jobs board in a niche sector in the UK. They want to start a blog but don't want to set it up on the same server as the main jobs site.

Discussion started around Wordpress, and their preference is for the WP.com hosted version in a directory or subdomain of the TLD.

Our concerns are around the different locations of the two sites (impact of two diff server locations and IP addresses?) but also the limitation of WP.com to interlink the two sites enough that they provide a decent customer experience.

Thoughts, musings, advice - all welcome! Tks

IMO they are creating problem for no reason. I can't think of any reason a separate server would be worth the headache. Just put it in it's own folder or subdomain if you really want to separate them. IMO.
