    CDDHosting is our main website.

    Thanks!

    I like the website, but it is missing some spark. You may consider redesigning your logo, to add some more color to the web pages. It kind of has a plain feel at the moment. Also, your affiliates page doesn't work.

    Hello, Thanks for the heads up on the dead link. Our client area & blog has a different header from our main site.

    That is cool, but shouldn't your main site be the most attractive in order to draw in users? If you don't attract any users, they will never see the alternative header on the client area ;).

    Maybe it is too much text on the home page? Hmm.

    My recommendations:
    1. Move the text areas named: "Web Hosting", "Reseller Hosting", "Dedicated Servers" and put this text on their respective pages.
    For example, move this text:
    Web Hosting
    Perfect shared web hosting plans for individuals & businesses.
    
    We offer shared web hosting plans great for any type of website! All of our shared hosting plans come with unlimited disk space and unmetered bandwidth so you never have to worry about running out!
    Code (markup):
    To the top of this page:
    http://www.cddhosting.com/shared-web-hosting/
    Code (markup):
    and do the same with the other two.

    This will greatly reduce the amount of text on your homepage, and you are already linking to the pages in the three graphical boxes above the current text!

    Then, replace the text that you have removed with a banner the width of the three columns and include some stock images and/or icons to make your webpage more attractive! On this banner maybe include some of your major "Why Us" selling points, but don't make it too cluttered.

    Just my two cents. I realize that is sort of a major revision but it would greatly improve your flow! :D

    The header on our homepage and client area have the same look, they're just 3 different files. This is what tentwenty meant.

    Thanks for the tips by the way but we don't want to reduce the text on the homepage for SEO reasons. Our goal was to have a search engine optimized design while making it look good at the same time which I think we achieved.

    Thanks for your input.

    I agree, add some bright colors or stock icons to add some pizazz.

    @ Caden Grand - Alright that makes sense I suppose. Keep up the good work guys. Do you guys own your physical servers or are they purchased and managed by someone else?

    The name cdhosting... I firs thought that it was some sort of a marketplace for cds or something.
    But I don't think it is enough of a factor for you to change your domain name

    Hello

    The name is CDDHosting, not CD Hosting. I think people will know its hosting and not a marketplace as the domain does suggest hosting as the word hosting is included.

    The name is perfect as is. If someone cannot tell it is a hosting account with the word hosting clearly illustrated in the domain name then they are likely not intelligent enough to have a need for hosting anyways.

    I like the site, looks very professional and inviting. I know you already addressed the logo comment and I understand you want the text for SEO, but if you had a more graphical logo I would really add to the flavor of the site.
    I am interested in the affiliate program though. Good luck!!
