I've heard it is better to host in the USA than the UK for certain websites. I guess this is due to the fact the majority of users will be USA based = faster load times.
So if most of your visitors are USA based, then it's better to host in the USA?
I suppose you could use Amazon S3 storage and serve some of the files (ie digital products, featured images etc) from their amazon USA servers, with the site itself in the UK?

You want your site to be hosted on servers closer to the majority of its users to reduce roundtrip time for assets to be loaded, especially these days where typical sites have lots of assets (CSS, fonts, Javascript, images, etc).
HTTP/2.0 should help with this by allowing multiple assets to be requested and delivered together.
