Server based in another country
I am a .co.uk based website but I have just found out that my server is physically based in Sweden. Does anybody know if this will adversely affect my UK SERPS? Would I do better to switch to a UK based server?

From what I've found out, Google returns sites for regional searches based on the country IP
address of the host server. It does seem important that the server is physically based in the UK.

From what I've seen... either / or
You should have one or the other

You've got the .co.uk so you'll be fine
