IP Address Experiment

From an incorrect source of information I was told that IP Blocks in the EU are all the same and it did not matter if you had a UK,FR,IT,DE IP. This is simply not true, if you have an IP address from the UK for example and put another EU site on it. It will become local results for the UK address, even if the language is not correct. The only way to accomplish this, is to be totally sure that you have an IP from the country that you are targeting. Pick your hosting solutions very carefully.

The alternative to this method of course is to own the TLD’s for each specific country, which was not an option for my experiment. In theory it would be best to host your site in each country keeping the TTL (Time to Live) as low as possible. I believe that a superior solution to this would be implementing a small array of proxy servers that would keep hosting costs to a minimum. Contemplate your solution very carefully, this can cost you severely!
