Did I miss an announcement on the new hosting365.com page or am I going crazy ?

My first impression is that it reminds me of mediatemple (mt) Media Temple


second impression is that their logo looks very pixelated on the site hmm... also feels out of place with all the black ...

(no I'm not knocking them .. just commenting on the design)

It's not bad. I agree with your comments above but I kinda like it.

Unless they have branched out to 'lifting equipment' I presume they will be updating their reg in the footer...

Black websites use less power and thus require less cooling

I don't like the design. Looks like a generic hosting template in my opinion.

Black websites convert less across most verticals.

Does anyone recall them testing this design?

Nope ... don't remember anything on any of the boards asking for C&C either .. strange that ... I'd assume you'd ask your customers or a select grouping at least what they think ?

That only applies to CRT monitors most of the stuff on that site relating to Watt hours saved has been discredited.

Lol just got the cooling bit though

Over all I think it's nice very web2.0 they had a few font issues at first seams to be sorted now. It big improvement on what was there though I don't think it's immediately clear that you go to register365 for regular hosting accounts.

Looking forward to blacknight.com v2 now
