We seem to have two threads going on concurrently about this question...

My observations are that inclusion in the regional listings is gained by EITHER having a regional domain name (e.g., .ca, .co.uk, .com.au) OR by hosting in that country. (It is also possible that other information (e.g., local postal address on site) may also be a factor - undetermined.)

If ou don't have a regional domain, then get regional hosting. But if you do have a regional domain, host it wherever you wish.
