Interesting to know dave.

Didn't see any mention of it before Stephen said it on twitter. I reckon it may have been rushed out to launch it at IWTC

I like the black a lot better than the previous color. Looks very nice imo.

Thanks for the feedback guys, we'll keep tweaking and polishing over the next few weeks (as well as making the register365 box clearer).

The old design was over 2 years old, and didn't suit our split (Hosting365 - Home for Cloud and managed services and shiney friendly Register365 - Ireland's Domain Registry for domains, shared hosting, etc)

Honestly I think you need to throw up a ... Shared Hosting / Small Business Hosting link ... a BIG shiny button on the front page ...

Having said that ... I just see the big register365 button ... it just doesn't seem obvious to me for some reason .. hmm...

ah well ... probably just me (Though I'd still recommend when clicking hosting you provide a link to the shared hosting)

I quite like the design. Very clean and easy to read.
Some of the imagery does seem very "template hostey", especially the lady in the live chat icon (jasus, I hate those stockphotos to bits).

I can't stand the reflections which are being used in the Featured Clients area. I mean, where are these reflections coming from?

Are they coming from my screen? Is there a lamp or a mirror near my laptop? I just don't 'Get' reflections. They're over used and they just don't make any sense.

I would also think that the companies which are featured wouldn't be too happy with their logo and their brand being modified with. I wouldn't like it to happen to my logo if I were Daft or Tesco or whoever else is there.

The links to company blog and company news on the sitemap page don't link correctly.

Extremely nice site overall. The buttons are very nice.

Quick question. I'm just wondering what was the reason for the rush job?
