Would anybody know if U.S. based hosting sites can host foreign domain names ie. "something.co.uk". ?
Or are there trade regs ie. you do have to register doman names in their country of suffix.

thanks very much in advance, been looking for hours

They can generally host any domain you own, though you'd want to check with your specific host.

I actually host a number of .co.uk and .info sites on a server in Canada. I can only see a potential problem if you're using a shared server and the ISP is using hostheaders to seperate the traffic? If you have a dedicated server (or a virtual server like I use) then it's not aproblem as you yourself setup the web service.

I actually run a Windows VPS setup and my own Nameserver - means I can do anything and the ISP never see it anyway :-)

Chat soon.
