The goal is to create a non-biased host review and rating site to help webmasters find good hosts. Feel free to add any hosts you use or have used and review and rate others Smiling

I am wondering if this site would be ok to post in the Hosting and Domains section? When the hosting database gets a good amount of entrys the site could come in handy for webmasters...If I were allowed too I would merely request others help me populate the database...I will wait till a mod or an admin yeas or nays this though. Here we go Smiling

Hi

I like the idea of the website so keep at it but its a little bare and needs more content on the home page. Perhaps by signing up with google adsense and putting ads in the advertisement section that would help.

Also you perhaps should have some imagery to make it look less plain and generally more content to keep the visitor on your site.

As I said the idea is a good one Smiling

The adsense application has already been filed I'm just waiting on the code...I will also be adding articles to the website such as
Internet 101
Webmastering 101
Stuff like that for content. The Home page I think needs a set welcome message and then the news...Thanks for your input Smiling

/me goes off to prod his programmer for new options and features Sticking out tongue

Thanks for the support Smiling I edited the error were you had to input data as GB where you could specify the ammount...So now the hosts don't say 500mb GB...Was it you that added e10host.com? If so thanks for your help Smiling

Nice site, but I think colours should define different parts, too much pastels. A good logo would be suffice. Have provided some of our members with logos. Do you have someone who does logos for you or do you do the content and graphics yourself. Check out willienobots site, I did that logo and he was very pleased. Also done one foe BenF's site, but yet to see that one.

Anyway, good idea. Nice clean site.

Yea I tried making a logo...it didn't go so well...That and I'm not sure how to get it into the banner without messing some of the numbers up. I will probabley talk to my programmer...So you do logos? Do you charge or what? I could probabley use a new banner/logo that had a white background for the whole top...If you are intrested in doing this then let me know.

The concept is good, you should continue with it. Add more content.
The colors are good. Change the logo. It is clear how to use your site.

Great idea. Needs way more material and explanation on the home page. Most of the text is too small for me, particularly the menu text. I think the logo is reasonable but add more of everything - banner, heading, description. Fill it out more. I think the concept will take off once you have the look right .

it looks nic eand clean, but I agree that it does look a little "bare" try adding in some more content on the index page and a few more graphcis.

My programmer is adding welcome text areas and the ability to add articles. So for content the site should be getting more very soon. He is also changing the colors of the site to match the logo so it will look a bit cleaner. As far as more graphics go, I want to keep the site simple and easy to use, It's for buisness not for play, I think I'm taking function over form on this one.

I love the idea of this site a lot! I agree it's a little simple yet and could use some more graphics/content. That will come with time and work, of course. You may want to consider adding and "adult hosting" section for those who are trying to find hosting companies that allow adult content. I don't think that would be considered adult content if you are just showing people who allows adult content on their servers.

Great job.

I just submitted the company I host with to your site.

I have a suggestion about your submission form:

Instead of being required to submit all over again for shared, dedicated, etc. You should offer a "both" or "all" in the drop down for those hosts who offer all.

It's about to get redisigned actually....You won't be having to do anything now...The facts are going to be turned into a minimum...I'm not going to disclose my plans for the site at this time though, but it will be alot more user friendly ;D

I'm working on articles ect ect... Content will be going up soon but as for graphics and stuff I want to keep it simple, it is a buisness site, if your using it I doubt you will choose not to find a webhost through me because I don't have tons of graphics of flash animations...Simple is best for me now...A SIMPLE flash animation is in the works though Wink

As for adult hosting, I don't support that kind of thing.
