Well of the chosen images Megan has linked to the beige is definitely better than the grey. That said, I was the only person who preferred option two (assuming they removed those annoying watermarks).

Here's grey:

I like the beige better. Here's a better sample:

That's one thing that crossed my mind too. I though maybe a light shade of grey though?

The only thing I woud do with that is change the pink. I think that might be a turn off to some people. I've been playing around with it and a beige colour might look nice. Or you could try a pale blue. Like this:

Those colours aren't exactly right and excuse the selections. Was attempting to use Paint Shop Pro and couldn't find how to select colour range.

I don't like the gradient on #1 at all. #4 isn't bad but too simple to get a high mark.

I think I like #2 the best, although it does look kind of template-ish to me. 5 is definitely out, too drab and lacks attention to the details. 4 is okay but I find it too grey and drab looking as well. 3 won't finish loading for me but definitely no good, way too amateurish looking. That leaves 1 and 2. My first thought is that 2 is more attractive but 1 highlights the key features which would make it work better from a business perspective. The domain checker and center offer graphic are much more prominent there. You could use 2 and change the domain checker form so it stands out more.

I'll vote for #1
