Hi, I got a question from a customer today who is looking at putting his Australia-based business's website with my hosting company. His question was, if he does this, his Australian website will have an American IP address. Will this affect his website's listing in localized searches?

In my experience, if he has an Australian CCTLD then he should be fine.
