Web Hosting Cost

[jimbo789]

My domain name ends in .com.au
I built the whole site using Bluevoda but have not published it yet.
Some questions please.
Is $7.95 the total cost per month for web hosting ?
What currency is this ?
I am in Australia. Does using a USA web host mean my site will take longer to come up when it's selected by a potential buyer ? I am ONLY selling to people living in Australia.
Is my site likely to be ranked lower by Google because it's an Australian site hosted in the USA ?
Does a Google search take longer to generate Australian sites hosted in the USA versus Australian sites hosted in Australia ?
Is there ANY detriment to me using a U.S. based host against an Australian one ? (I love using Bluevoda)

Regards,
Jim

Yes! But you will have to purchase the domain in AUS & point it at the VH servers. (Quite normal)

USA $

Shouldn't do.

Shouldn't be.
