The times that it can make a difference is when you are using non location specific domains such as .com, .net or .info. In these cases its not obvious which country they target, (although .com is presumed to be for US sites although its used worldwide). There are now things coming out though to help with this situation, such as now in Google Webmaster tools you can manually enter the country that a domain in targetting.

Good point. I mentioned having it hosted in the UK so as to help it rank better in Google UK data center.
