I could not disagree with you more. A company based on the other side of the world will not be able to support you in the same way a company based in or near your own country can. Imagine getting into your office at 8am to discover your website is down knowing full well it is in the middle of the night where your servers are, even if you can get some support at this time it is likely to be from backup or third rate support staff doing night cover.

Web hosting is one item you need to shop around for, price should not be your primary consideration as to keep overheads down some web hosts over sell, over subscribe and over load servers resulting in poor performance. The web host I use only supply hosting space to businesses and dramatically undersell the space on each server to ensure optimal performance and room for growth for hosted websites.

What else can I say on that?
Only time can tell you why location is important!
Some people like to learn from their own experience but other's. ;)
