When you host your website on a UK based server then you get 2 major advantages :-

1. Search Engines categorize your website as a UK website and you get better ranking in UK.
2. Your customers from UK get better browsing speed and your websites wil load much quicker in comparision with US server.

Hello Romeo,
Also if you have not registered your domain yet then try for getting UK's cctld, will be much beneficial for you to target uk based clients, as country specific search engine gives much more importance to cctlds.
