    Hello, I've started a free hosting site and its been running for about a month or two now. Well, with the recent addition of its own domain. I'd like to get your opinions on my site and its plans.

    I know its not much, but I'd like to start giving people a chance at webhosting. Thus why I've created a free host. But, I'd like you to rate what I offer. Also, if you could, can you give any tips, suggestions, or ideas to improve it.

    I think I would up the space to 500 MB and Bandwidth to 5 GB

    The design is not appealing. Since you are a free host, I would suggest having a great design, in which will attract people to your site.

    I have that in my Expert plan.

    Sorry, but I've been too busy to get around to "fully" making a layout. I'll try harder next time.

    Hi,

    You can use some bigger fonts in your titles and also add a dash of color to the words. Put in some images as well, and that will make your site appealing.

    Do some posting to other sites as well and that will get a lot more traffic to your site especially if you have the free hosting.

    Your domain giveaway contest is a good idea too.

    yeah, use 1 size bigger font size, and put one line of white space between each paragraph. You can try the same on the left column of the main site as well if you cant find a good graphic/templat. the forum needs a template... looks very basic (unless that's what you're shooting for)

    Thanks for the suggestions.

    Okay, I'll try to finish up version 2 quickly then.

    In version 2, I'm working to get an automated account system up and running. But, I'm also aiming to redesign the mainsite and forum.

    For design advice I recommend Arial font and more graphic buttons for your links.

    Hmm, just curious about your server specs, can your server handle those free hosting plans?

    Hi

    The main site seems a little bland and not really
    very outstanding.

    For easy navigation it might be worth linking up
    the different package boxes at the top so they
    take people to the individual package pages.

    Yes. It can. And if I run out of resources, I will upgrade.

    Thanks, I'll try to work it out with the next version.
