    Hey everyone!

    Let me know what you think about http://www.a2Host.com

    Its clean, simple and works fantastically in my view, and looks great in both IE and FF - checked ;)

    Users don't have to register, they can upload a video file upto 50 MB - In return they receive a direct, permanent URL to their video.

    Revenue was in mind, so one of my innovations ( already on other sites, but i coded this myself... ) is an intermission that shows the title and description and an AD where the video should be for 5 seconds, and tells them they can continue now or wait...

    Please review , thanks!

    It's a nice clean site thus quick to load for me. It doesn't have anything that makes you remember the site though. The buttons for upload need to change. They are king of ugly and don't match the rest of the site. I like your terms - very easy to read ;)
    The intermission idea I think is a good one. You could have it so the intermission ad doesn't show everytime, randomly would make it less annoying.

    If they are smart they just link to view.php?id=etc... not preview.php?id=etc...

    so its easy to get around which i kinda like, but all links via the site pages like last uploaded video all go to preview, along with the upcomming directory.

    Yeah the buttons were for a different layout haha will get new ones soon.

    It's a good start (very web 2.0 and clean :) ) For the upload and reset buttons.. I would go with a more web 2.0 styled one (plain with gradients) so it suits the layout design more.

    very nice theme. but you should always control the videos. they must obey the composition rules.good job. may be you can increase the 50 megs limit.
