I apologize - that might have seemed like a spam to you - it was intended as humor on my part. Please allow me to make ammends - if you check my other posts, I hope you'll find I'm participating in the forums... I'm going to go look at that site - I'll be back shortly with a review - I just don't have much positive to say is all *sigh*

Ok - I apparently need to be more thorough in my review of this site. Apologies....

The flash work is junk.
I counted 3 spelling mistakes on first glance - I'm not going to bother reading the whole thing.
I thought maybe it was Firefox making the layout of the site fall apart but it's just as screwy in IE.
One of the "about company" images on the front page is scaled "wrong"
The spacing on the plans is off...
There is no typographical consistency.
The subpages are far nicer than the front page - remove the loop and my eyes feel better, too.
Too bad there's no grammar check.
The link to services in the footer is broken.

Positive things.
The login to CPanel button looks nice - think I've seen it before though.
The annoying green arrow seems to move to the beat of the annoying, mis-timed loop.
The girl in the picture on the FAQ page is pretty - although it seems she wasn't the focus of the original picture, leading me to believe the designer of this page is male (like myself).
I really like the BG that the copyright is on at the bottom - the footer area looks real clean.

It's the thought that counts with this one. I can see where the designer was going. I think some work with the tables, trash-removal and some CSS on the fonts would clean this up real nice. Now, for a matter of opinion - the pictures, if purchased as stock, will do. If they were farmed from google image search or something - keep digging. This look is a bit overdone. But, if you customized the images to match the layout yourself, good job - they all seem to fit each other well, with the exception of the swirly blue frame on the about company section.

And, seriously - lose that loop on the main page. Heck, lose the Flash all together and you have a good start.

I apologize for my previously short review and my current harsh tongue. Had I posted this on another forum I frequent it may have been taken for humor - I understand that being new I need to be a bit more thorough. Apologies.

ok

-First thing:
Spin off of 1and1...anyone whos heard of 1and1 will more than likely not want to get anything from you. You need to think of an original domain name but before you can do that take your site...look it over...then scrap it and redo it taking everyones reviews from this forum into consideration.

-Second thing:
The flash- not so great and the music on it is EXTREMELY annoying!!

-Third:
Site looks "choppy"

Personally i had already had a bad feeling about it the second i saw what the domain name was. unless you were with 1and1 (which you clearly arent) i am suggesting that you think of a new "more clever" domain name.

changing the name of the site. Something unique, something people will remember...

3and3hosting.com maybe? Much better IMO.

Just an idea...

its still crappy, you didnt even try to change your download theme that much, it has many bad links, missing pages, and the no matter what you do, it still looks unprofressional

and to add to that.

I did your whois/domain search, I tried, YAHOO.COM

Quote:

Web Starter Kit

Step 2

See your domain search results below:

http://www.yahoo.com.com is Available
http://www.yahoo.com.net is Available
http://www.yahoo.com.org is Available
http://www.yahoo.com.ca is Not Available
http://www.yahoo.com.info is Available
aboutwww.yahoo.com.com is Available
http://www.yahoo.comonline.com is Available
ewww.yahoo.com.com is Available
mywww.yahoo.com.com is Available
allwww.yahoo.com.com is Available

my god.. Yahoo .com is avilable!! OMG, Im buying it /sarcasm

Still stand at, 1/10 Rating.

what also added was your "support" a small outve place forum.
No contact info, no address, no email, no phone, no chat...

also, when you made it, you didnt put much effort into it. Also, when you posted ON YOUR OWN FORUM, you posted as a guest, This shows consumer little security in their purchase.

Don't do things, your going to do half-assed, or put 25% effort into.
