Its very nice and clean. Navigation is simple. The main problem is the text is a bit too small. I had to really strain to use it and when I changed the text size in IE it stayed the same. If you make text size relative it will still look the same but at least people will be able to enlarge it if they need to.

O.k. <embed> is not valid, your <img/>s aren't closed properly, I was able to increase text size so mabye thats a browser problem ( Im FF on XP ) oh yeh and just one other thing...
Table Based Layouts are WRONG

yes as i know, but i needed to get a site up fast and couldnt be bothered faffing with divs to make everything look the same in FF and IE

"you cant go far wrong"? wtf is that?

I'll tell you what's "more wrong" than a table based layout... using Flash for a static picture! wft... use a gif.

Other than that... yay, a hosting site like 1000s of others... :/

ok, i would like to see your site u pathetic loser, get a life and learn to not flame peoples posts

Here's mine... flame away. I can take constructive critism.

And yes, it was constructive. If I'm confused by your slogan, your users will be, too. GIF instead of Flash will be recommended by any other developer, too. And... there are 1000s of other hosting sites out there exactly like yours. What makes your site/offer better than the others?

Dopes

i didnt say it was better. Gif was originally used but all the anti-aliasing messed up and made everything have white edges thats why gif wasnt used....i just wanted opinions, well ones that dont flame...

I think your site looks professional, smart and simple and from a customers point of view it certainly looks like a trustworthy site to purchase from. from a web designer critiques point of view there is a few problems like the codes for the tables. Overall i think it looks good well done.

But i'm not the greatest web designer.

Very clean and slick-looking to me. I agree about the gif being used instead of flash - no need to add extra requirements on the user. Or just go with a very-high quality jpeg as well, smooth gradients and no need for Flash. Also, if i was to use your hosting, i'd want to know about things like scripting, cgi support, php, jsp, all that kind of stuff. If it's on the site, i missed it. If it's not on the site, i just assume it's not offered.

looks pretty good,yeah maybe add some php/cgi stuff in tehre if you in fact allow it. what is so bad about table layouts? im not an expert please enlighten me.

Hey Jordan

Esthetically, your site looks pretty good.

Maybe you need to spend a bit more time on the "copy" for your website (former professional copy writer so that's what I notice most)

Awkward wording and grammatical errors will send many prospective clients running a whole lot faster than an 'incorrect image format'.

The entire site needs to be proofread... a few times and by someone other than the writer.

If you'd like some assistance with this let me know.

I think the design is really good. Table layouts aren't all that unacceptable. A lot of professional business Web sites use table layouts. I don't understand why some people are so put off by it. As long as it looks good, who cares about what kind of layout the site uses? But multiple-browser support is pretty important.

I agree that the copy is not good. The slogan is indeed confusing. "You can't go far wrong" means that I could still be wrong to choose your hosting, just not too wrong. Other things like "We also provide resellers for people wanting to host multiple accounts" is plain bad writing. Contact the person who has offered to help!!
