Many users, especially those who are interested in good search engine ranking encounter this question -- "Does it matter where your domain registrar is located?"
If you are also searching the net to seek answer for this simple question - you need not go further.
The answer is simple -- "It doesn't matter!!!"
You may have registered with GoDaddy, or namecheap or 1&1 -- but search engines do not track or map the registrar while indexing. Registrar simply maintains directory, but while crawling spiders look for TLD extension, content and location of Web Hosting Server. However it doesn't matter to them if the domain is registered in US, UK or Canada. In case you didn't know, you can buy a domain name from one provider and web hosting space from another and have your web site on the internet.
During Searchnomics in 2007, Google engineers did elaborate how spider consider IP address and domain extension (.com or .co.uk) to provide content to end user - but they did not mention domain registrar as a factor for indexing or spider crawl. To read more about this you may like to visit googlewebmasters blog and read about Server Location, Cross Linking and Web.
So, go ahead and book a domain from anywhere, your pages would get indexed as long as you have great content and the right domain name extension!
