Default Does it make a difference where your host is based?

I think the hosting location and the nameserver infuance the rankings in different geo locations.

Well, somewhat it does. If a server is located in the UK, and you are located in the UK, the speed of the website is much more efficient then a server in the USA. Internet connection speed is again the same issue, if you have Internet connection in the USA, and your located in the UK, connection is slower. So its best to choose a web host based in your country for faster performance.

Nope, it doesn't make any difference. Oh, just thought about difference in costs on dc maintenance and stuff salary.

This is clearly up to you. But if most of your visitors are from the USA, I recommend getting hosting from a US based host. Either way, if you get hosting in the UK, US users will still have somewhat fast performances when visiting your website, or vice versa.

Surly it's better to use hosting from the country where you live. I think it can be cheaper and faster.

Location does affect speeds, if your site is located in US and most of your traffic is coming from Germany form example, data has to travel through pipeline from Germany to US to reach your server, though all this happens a fraction of a second, the speed difference is still there.
