How to check if your host is actually in the UK

Start by entering their main domain name here: http://geotargeting.2meta.com/
is it in the UK? If not then is it most likely (not always the case though) that
your site would not be hosted in the UK either if you host with them.

Other checks you can do:
  • Check the telephone number, is this a British number?

  • Check the phyical address, is this British?

  • Check their domain name: you can carry out simple checks such as whois
    and traceroutes by entering their domain name here:
    http://www.dnsstuff.com/

  • Check the network of the host, enter their domain here: http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph
    If the Netblock owner is not obviously a UK company try looking the company name up on google.
