Default Where do you host your site UK or US

Most UK webmasters seem to host their websites in USA. I wonder what this says about UK web hosting companies.
Please take part i this short poll to indicate the country your hosting provider is located.

I host UK targetted sites in the Uk, if the site is aimed at a niche that is not geographic, then I host it in the UK. I have 6 reseller accounts, some in the UK some in the States, and one in germany.

James,
Which UK hosting company do you have you reseller account with? Do you have advanced features like mod_rewite? One of the things I find frustrating with my resller account was inability to use mod_rewrite

My site (which is still heavily under construction) is hosted in the US but the service is provided by a Croatian web host company.

Thanks for that, I have tried hosteurope, did not find their services that good, however that was a few years ago, perhaps they have improved.

Well that's true!
This is a new one, I'll probably finish it by the end of the month.
I guess I'd rather work on any other site than my own. I never give my own site the priority.
