My two cents: Well firstly, you're site is well put together, it's very interesting. If I had some cash, I might have used it. Already though, I'm noticing that you need a plug-in to view some content. Maybe you should change that, I'm not so sure what it is, since I need a plug-in to view it. It does need more content, as someone above said. I think you should be more clear in what you are trying to say, on your pages. Maybe it's just the layout that throws me off, it's a little overwhelming. You should specify right there on the homepage some features you get (like emails, or Php support, e.t.c). Also it would be nice if your plans were customizable and you pay accordingly. I clicked AUP and I got QUOTE Not Found
The requested URL /plans.html was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. Oh and I'm just curious, who's this? http://www.computinghost.com/images/1pic2.jpg

Thefirst thibng i found about these foums was that actualy navigating through the rooms was difficult the biggest problem i found is that the bar that indicates the room and thread you are in is right at the top so when i want to go back to the main section i have to keep scrolling up, yeh i know im lazy, but its what i am used to on all of the other forums it is just above the begining of the next topic i dont know if it is because of the way you keep the first post seperate or what but it was disorienttating While im posting i may as well compliment you on the site its nice but the amount of adds is scary  But it looks like theres a good community here so thats all that counts

Hi OpaQue, As you requested I had a good look at your site : http://www.computinghost.com/ and I have a of suggestion for you. I hope that it will be of use. + I have spent countless hours searching the web for decent web hosters. Finnaly I have found one (astahost.com) but one thing that all these web hosting sites have in common is their lack of examples. When I look for a website (especially paid packages) I like to know if the website supplies templates, and if they don't I believe that it should clearly visible. If I were to order from your website, I would like to know immediatly if you supply website templates, and then if you do, I would like to see a couple of examples of the templates that you offer. Apart from that I think the site looks great. I think all websites that include a flash template etc allways look good. I would like to be able to buy a pakage with a flash template or atleast a very profeshional template. Thanks for your time, Sean Webber.

QUOTE(OpaQue @ Feb 4 2005, 10:51 PM) It seems that most of the reply's have been about the type of service and what you could do. That has nothing to do with it in my opinion. It is all about your site, what people see and how people navigate through it. I am going to comment on that area. You need to have a header that takes up not more than 100 pixels of space from the top of the page. What you have now takes up about half the page at 1024x768. That is way too much. Your are showing more graphic than information. Also, you have a nice looking graphical look at three hosting plans at the bottom of the page. Put those at the top right under the header, after you design a smaller one of course. Get that information in front of the user immediately rather than making them scroll down to the bottom of the page. Make the navigation at the very top of the page much more apparent. It blends into the background too much. The main problem with your home page is that nothing in particular grabs your eye. It just kind of all blends together like looking out the window at a heavy fog. The users eye needs to be directed. The features you offer for hosting are good, but they are not readily apparent by looking at the home page, and you need to get people on the first page. If they have to dig for the info they need they might just go somewhere else instead. I have been a web designer for 10 years and I would be happy to put something together in Photoshop to show you what I mean. With all of the great features you offer, you need to slap people in the face with it, so to speak.

First of all, don't forget that the overwhelming majority of visitors to any website don't buy, and that the hosting world is becoming much more competitive. Your site is generally very good. A few things I'm not enthusiastic about: 1. The smiling young lady with the headset. Those kind of images add nothing, and I'm tired of seeing them everywhere. 2. The testimonial. Most testimonials are fake, and everyone knows it. If you want to have testimonials at all, include the author's URL as a working link, to make it more believable. In addition, more people will write testimonials for you to get the link. Some things which might be added: 1. Mention CPanel prominently on the first page of the features list. CPanel is a very good and very popular tool. 2. Talk your satisfied customers into writing real reviews talking you up on the hosting customer review sites.

ok well i think for the computinghosting.com we should use a "you get what you pay for" kind of thing becuase that would describe the quality differences of astahost.com and computinghosting.comyou could have them link to eachother and have a side by side feature comparrson so people could decide if they wanted to put forth the extra money.

I'd agree with someone who said earlier about bandwidth. I'd increase the bandwidth.

Hi ya.. I believe you have a good dev team, here are a few of my thoughts. I only actually have one conserning the layout. It is just too cluttered. A webpage shouldn't be about jamming as much information as possible on a single page. Keep the mainpage simple and attractive ( what do you believe to be unique, or special about your hosting). Shiney and audio is nice, but what about the majority of users who are still on dial-up. I would show some examples of sites created on your hosting.... and the colours are too nutral... i agree with the other users who mentoned this..... later on.

First of all. This is my first post in this community. I want to send my greetings to everyone. Also, I am spaniard. So, please do not put too much attention to my writting style. I will do my best to make it easily readable. For this one, I prefeer brief explanations so that readers don't speend unuseful time to get the ideas. - Font is small and lines very close i.e. http://www.computinghost.com/plans.html- The same font with more line spacing would be more clear. - Flash isn't search engines friendly. The search engines won't be able to read it losing positions when indexed. Plain text over jpg or gif background would be better for that purpose. - I don't really think animated flash images all the time is really important. As the precedent post said, animated gifs could be used instead. - Animated menu buttons can be done too without flash. Beware with javascript on Windows XP SP2 and its script blocker. - A really important thing are online forms already available. It will increase the communication with potential customers, since they don't have to open its mail client or web mail account to send you a message. In my case and on my web, forms have worked improving very very and I repeat, very much the commercial contacts, even now when after two months offline isn't well positioned on search engines. (I have much more contacts now than before when unique visitors were about 30X more than now). Besides, the site is in a temporal ad supported server and isn't finished. Not the best conditions at all. - Return to web design. In order to imporve download time if using images, test the archive sizes and, very important, the number of images. Reduce it to the minium possible. - I am foreinger and it cost me a little to understand that bw was bandwidth. Also the @ symbol was a little confusing with no sense for me. There are 800 million people speaking chinese, 450 million spanish, 402 million english and a total of about 6000 million human beings, much of them searching web hosting. ;) - When entering the order page I don't see the order options, but the heading image and menu. Maybe it makes more constant the aspect of the site, but I'd like to watch the prices and plans at first sight. That large intro flash page is very cool. I won't use it for the order page that way. https://www.computinghost.com/orders/step_o...hp?gid=7&tick=0 is a better example of order page. - Solutions page. Again the large heading. What about html anchors? And the plans at the bottom. I want to see the plans when the page is opened!. Hey the plans are just perfect!. I like also the free hosting with domain register. - It's the same paying 1 month than one year. I know the prices are absolutely cheap. But what else would make me pay one entire year when I can pay monthly for the same price?. (99 cents difference). - Another question mailto links. Why not link to a form instead? target can be blank - When entering onto about us or contact page I missed the company information. - Packages page. Beautigul top image. Where are them? ;) - http://www.computinghost.com/acceptable_usage_policy.htm . I cannot open links. Using IE on Windows XP SP2 - Links page. I would use darker colors for links text. - Site map: I didn't see it. Cya.
