It's okay, but I would suggest a more muted colour scheme. It's not very "mellow."

Good luck.

I don't care for the grey background much. I think if you made it white it would look better.

Just a couple of suggestions:

1. Add more content. There isn't much there right now that shows me why you are better than any other hosting company.

2. Your 'News' page says that the forums are open but I couldn't find them

3. Why the clock on the front page?

[ltrump]

Cool....appreciate all the tips....the clock was put there for some unknown reason.....guess I musta been a bit out of my mind when I did it. I didnt like it either, so I got off my butt and got rid of it.....

The forums had the wrong address on the link, I fixed that. Of course content is something that I am not all that great at coming up with, so its still a work in progress....

As far as the gray background, I actually like gray, and I really get bored with white backgrounds.....maybe a lighter shade of gray??

[Fernis]

I would suggest a light internal background and have a darker external background. Kinda like this message board.

[ltrump]

that sounds cool fernis.....I like that idea.

If you are going to use a gradient background for your MELLOW HOSTING thing, try using one that isn't a default Photoshop gradient. Anyone who works with Photoshop will get a chuckle out of you using that default gradient....

You are missing all of the SEO stuff from your page... you should add some META data.

Is this on a dedicated box or a reseller account? You are offering 25 mysql databases on your largest account. If you are on a reseller account, that means that you will have only one connect per database available. That is a little thin. Also, 25 databases is a LOT of databases, even if they are all small with just a few tables each.

The "Link Referral" button on the bottom of the page takes people away from your site, you should have it open in a new window or frame it, so people can find their way back.

You have a mailto link IN your code, spam scanners will see it and send you all kinds of Viagr_a ads.

You have this images on your page for all of the accounts.

It would be funny and cool, if you made the CPU small and the smallest account and then made it grow in size as the account got bigger.

Maybe he could use some Viagr_a. He'd be a little less "mellow" then, wouldn't he?
