?page=resellerhosting

You should rewrite your urls. To something like resellerhosting.htm (can be done with apache rewrite mod, if your not familiar google it..)

You could create more valuable inbound links; instead of linking to every page with a "read more" link, have links like "resellerhosting". Otherwise your page might score better for the keyword read more then resellerhosting..

You can make those links in your footers, if your prefer the read more buttons but then at least you would have some valuable links... for targeted keywords.

in your keywords metatags dont use spaces after comma.

and last validate your markup. using w3c.org..

very nice and clean. Maybe you should add google adsense to generate some income. God knows we all need some of that.

Google Adsense on a corporate website looks trashy.

Just looked at the site and it looks nice on first impressions. To be honest i get the impression that you lost interest below the fold. With the hosting market as it is i think it would be worth your while to maybe try and use some of the graohics from the top at the bottom of the page aswell as opposed to having just plain b&w HTML.

Change your images to CSS where applicable (menu items and feature headings etc).

Use url's which are readable by humans and search engines (page / my-service. html)

Use descriptive alt and title tags for you images and links.

You should consider internal linking within textual attributes as you need to consider internal page ranking as well.

Custom 404 pages allowing users to navigate your site.

Canonical domain so that you are not sharing your page rank between multiple entry points (eg: www . yoursite . ext vs yoursite .ext vs yoursite .ext/index. php...and so on)

Create a sitemap and submit it to the Search Engines.

Include geolocation for both Google and Bing.

Be sure to advertise your site with paid directories (as well as free ones) once it's ready for launch with places like Yahoo Directory and Joeant .com

Check your code with the w3c for errors. Currently I see 138 warnings on the main page.

Finally consider press releases and submission of articles to the blogsphere to give you an added boost in non-reciprocal link juice.

Hope this was of some help.

Sorry for all the added spaces in the urls listed above, I cannot posts links directly.

What CappyMoo said, plus add titles to your images and links.

You should put an a:active on your top menu links, I forgot what page I was on.

Your visual hierarchy isn't very good IMO.

Lots of scrolling makes me bored.

Good use of images and consistency throughout the theme.

I would consider customizing WHMCS

Your URLs are not SEO friendly
e.g.: ?page=cpanel

The page is very fast and that's great, you kept it too a minimum although when on the site I'm itching for a little more. I just want to leave the site.

Score: 5/10

I dont mind it, but that being said, i don't like it.

You need to get rid of a lot of that product advertising stuff at the top of the page. It is fine for the main page, but it doesn't need to be on every page. As a potential client, I would have got the main page, click on 1 maybe 2 products, got the sh*ts and left.

The hosting industry is very cut throat so you need to grab my attention and keep it.

</2cents>

Beyond that it's not too bad, pricing seems ok, it looks nice.
