Does anybody know if the hosting location makes any difference for

Well generally Googles homepage defaults to the server appropriate
to the region that queries are made from.
If you are in Australia Google defaults to Google .au
It wouldn't make sense to default to Russian for a UK user.
In many cases the results returned tend to be biased
towards pages from this default location.
So if I'm looking for confectionary, days out, goods and
services the results are UK biased for a UK user.
For scientific papers the results for a UK user are
biased towards papers in English,
In Japan it would be biased towards pages in Japanese.
With this bias it is obviously desirable to host in
the appropriate target country.
Most UK registrars can register domains
for any country, very few can host or arrange hosting
on servers in foreign countries.
Those that can usually act as an agent for the foreign
ISP and add their markup, but it simplifies accounting
if billing for registration and hosting is with one source.
When in Belgium I note Google defaults to google.be
Google.be aangeboden in: Français Deutsch English.
