Would want to know more about web hosting. Specifically this question. I want to purchase a web hosting service which is located in the US, while my website is in the Philippines. Will it affect the performance of my website?
No.. Your documents will reside on servers in the US. Performance depends on the capabilities & reliability of those servers. Dreamhost & GoDaddy are very reliable. There are others, but if you ever need customer support... well, you get what you pay for.
GoDaddy? Really? I've heard all sorts of bad stuff about them...
Their prices are reasonable, and the servers are ALWAYS up... but in all honesty it's their customer service & support. 24/7 you can get a person on the phone who can fix just about anything you need in a flash. If its a serious problem you had, they follow up with a phone call & offer additional support at no cost. And they speak English!!!
I had a run in with Network Solutions the other day ...f*ck me... called their 800 number. Got some support person out of India. I was so frustrated, I called back.. turns out ALL their support is out of their. It took me 3 hours to even describe the issue I was having, as I had to spell out each word by the letter as she repeated it back to me (incorrectly most of the time may I add).
It depends where your audience is from.
If your audience is in North America, it won't affect performance. But visiting your site hosted in the US from the Philippines will be slower, but may not be a big deal or very noticeable.
Whatever provider you choose, make sure they have a good network and datacenter so people from around the world will have the fastest loading times.
