Looking for opinions (Web Hosting content)

Post by Anatoly » Thu Apr 07, 2011 6:17 pm

What's up guys,
Just looking for opinions on my new web hosting company web site.
Not sure, weather to change it or keep it?
http://www.HostingA2Z.com
Personally I like it, but I don't know if it looks professional enough?

You mean you designed it?

Looks OK; not sure about the username/password boxes at the top with no style at all though. It looks like they should be incorporated better into the right side, above the nav area; since you already have a large banner area with a big space above the nav.

Maybe the headers ("Why choose HostingA2Z?" and "Our Fans:") could have the same font styles as the 'Economy' and 'Premium' link buttons towards the bottom.

The transition from the blue banner to the white is a little...I don't want to say daunting...more sudden. Some kind of shadow, or overlay, or fade other than just the one server box overlapping.

Pretty good site though. Your other pages get the point across pretty well.

^ thank you! Exactly what I'm looking for.
Username - passowrd input will probably be moved from that spot. I'm just updating my billing software atm so I just put it in there.
How did the text displaying? Is it too stretched out? Should I make it more compact?

The text looks fine in both Chrome and IE. Seems to fill out the page nicely (center-aligned, 80%? width, nice font size).

Spelling mistakes here...

"unlimitted"

Your DNS tracks back to here... 000webhost.com

Looks like you are reselling.

24/7 email support... how long for an initial and subsequent replies?

On the autoresponder... how many emails/hour?
At what bounce rate are accounts suspended?
Are customers given a chance to cleaup their lists
and start over if the exceed the rate?

Assuming credit card payment... is that via https?

As a web developer, I've seen and worked with a large amount of sites and your site is way too generic -- looks like every other site out there. I actually reworked a site that had that exact same design. Those server boxes are extremely over used but eh.

The web hosting biz is hard to get rolling, so having a unique site that someone can remember is key.

Anyways, it's not too bad, as Jeff said it gets the point across. Good luck in the biz!
