If you live in Australia try doing the following:

 

Open up a "Command Prompt" Window on your computer.
[ Click... Start(menu) - Programs - Accessories - Command Prompt]
At the cursor (prompt) type
tracert www.redrook.com

 

It will take a few minutes , but you will see a few hops from your computer to the www.redrook.com website. Make a note of the response times. If you have an ADSL connection to the Internet it may be as quick as 48 ms (48 milliseconds).

If you now do a tracert  to your site or a known site hosted in the USA you will see that the response times are FAR higher, and the number of hops FAR greater.

If the tracert to your website is over 200 ms then you are almost certainly hosted OUTSIDE of Australia. Most likely you are hosted on a server in the USA!
