gotta admit I've thought it myself ... most of us would have been happy to review a beta site if you'd put it up
(by most of us I mean me )

Rush job!?>

That site's actually been in build for over 9 months!! (During which one developer let us down badly).

We launched internally a few days ago, and were giving previews to a few focus groups, which caught most things, the reason for launch today was to co-incide with our talk on Cloud computing for hosted apps at the IWTC

Sounds a bit like ours ... I won't even try to count the months as I'll just get depressed

While I like the new design, I think the description of what you are offering is really poor. I'd like to think of myself as a reasonably intelligent person but I'm finding myself reading through all the pages to figure out what you are actually offering. I presume you have a big vmware grid now and are provisioning virtual servers off that?

And i'm not sure why but the word cloud annoys me and I think the use of grid would be a lot better.

Hi Conor,

'cloud' is all the rage now (with Amazon, etc pushing cloud services), even though a 'grid' or 'utility computing and storage' could equally describe the proposition.

We'll keep working on the clarity of message, thanks for the feedback.

I like the black a lot and I don't think it looks like a template. It's got some nice styling without being too of-it's day. Hosting companies should be 'cool' and the black works but I agree with Dave - some verticals can consider them less approachable than cleaner sites believe it or not!

One thing I find confusing is the description of the new hosting plans. I'm not au-fait with current hosting technology so I was expecting to find info on

1. how many databases can I have
2. which version of PHP are you running
3. Which installable applications are available
3. Whats the GUI and fucntionality of the control panels.

What I'm seeing is a lot of internal technical language. Are my expectations outmoded these days?

Also - who did the site? I didn't see a credit anywhere and they should be acknowledged.

You're getting a server to basically do with what you want ... you've got 10gbs of space ... dump what you want onto it till it bursts

But yeah ... it was only after it was pointed out that I realised I needed to go to register365 ... if its not obvious to someone like me .. what hope does your average joe have ?

Thanks guys, we'll add more clarity that hosting365 now only offers dedicated, and will add more cross-links to the shared hosting.

Nice site but never judge a book by its cover.

Can someone tell me why the logo says Hosting366 is this some type of new web3.0 deisgn thing??

I think it should be hosting 365 as the domain says, I preferred the old site purely as it was easier to get your information across and this new site dosen't sell hosting to me more of a webdesigner site as it looks like a portfolio with the icons.

But its still a cool design looking forward to the tweaks to get it more business like
