Does the country where my website is hosted effect my search engine results on certain search engines?
For example, my website is hosted with a company in India and on google.co.in I get excellent search results for my keywords but this is not the case on google.co.uk
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!

Of course it does, Also if users turn the switch to have specific results from a particular country your site wont show up at all

Well I imagine that search result popularity is based around the country you're searching from. If you're searching for something related to india you will have better results on Google India.

I just went to Baidu (primary Chinese search engine) and entered the English word, "Nambia" and it did indeed come up with plenty of hits. I didn't try putting in the characters for the country as I don't have time to look them up right now. Good luck!

I believe that is correct. Especially, if your web site contains different language. To have a better ranking in google in UK or US, you'd better user UTF-8 and English as primary setting.
However, the most efficient way to get higher ranking is to follow the Google's search engine guide line.
