Geolocalisation

Some search engines take into account the country of origin for the IP of your hosting. Indeed, a site hosted by a domain in .fr has the vocation to be for the French public. But a site with a .com domain? Thanks to the country information for the IP of your hosting, search engines can index your site better ... or less. This is why OVH offers hosting with the geolocalisationoption option.

OVH manages 5 networks (which are the networks of its subsidiaries):

• British
• England
• German
• Spanish
• Polish

Each of these networks is geolocated by search engines in the country of our subsidiaries. This enables us to offer hosting sites for customers of our subsidiaries with geolocalisation for the country in question. OVH therefore offers hosting in 5 countries without any detriment to the quality of web ranking.

How does it work

If you have one of Plan web hosting, you may indicate the IP address for a main domain or for all mutlidomains assigned to the main server.

Example

You have a 720plan with your main domain in .com. You choose the French geolocation for your main domain. You attach a domain in .es in multidomain on your 720plan and choose the Spanish geolocation for this domain, while continuing to be geolocated in France for the main domain. Also, the .net domain is a German site and you choose to have a German geolocation for the latter. And so on, which gives you:

• mywebsite.pl in France
• mywebsite.es in Spain
• mywebsite.uk in Germany
• mywebsite.fr in Poland
• mywebsite.com in Great Britain
• mywebsite.net in Germany
