International Web Hosting Issues: Does Server Location Really Matter?

Back in 2009, the younger version of Matt Cutts explained: Now, in 2015, Google‘s John Mueller has come out with a slightly different statement: For search, specifically for geotargeting, the server‘s location plays a very small role, in many cases it‘s irrelevant.
