Does having an IP address in Texas (Kryptronic server location) affect UK SEO rankings on Google when using Europacart?

The reason I ask is that when one of my sites was hosted by Greenbarn I actually started to get first page ranking on Google but since migrating the site to Europacart I am nowhere to be found in the search results.

That is assuming that Howard at Greenbarn was using a UK Server address !

Are country specific IP addresses import for localised SEO rankings?

I think you meant to say ...and the answer is . - Site speed and location are both important for visibility in Google product search. - Google is actively giving preference to UK sellers who are actually hosted in the UK and sites with faster load times.

gbservers.co.uk (formally poundhost.co.uk) are a pretty good and reliable host that we were using for a while, before switching to a Dutch KVM based solution.

It's probably worth reading what Google themselves say on this issue:-
