    I just took a look at honestly it blew me a way. Here are some of my thoughts.
    1. Domain Name. You have a great domain, SEO rankings are going to be easy, I could see you up on the first/second page of Google easy since so many people search for "web hosting reviews".

    2. Design. You seem to have a great modern Web 2.0 Design. I love the Blue, it's my favorite color, Blue and white for the colors really flow well together.

    3. Functionality. You seem to have all of the major categories Free Hosting, Cloud Hosting, Shared/Reseller, VPS, etc. All make it easy for people who came from Search Engines to quickly find what they want.

    Only strange thing I see is under the "Our Sponsors" you have a llama I think that is? I guess that's ok, laughed a little when I saw that but I guess the llama is fine as well.

    In any case good luck with your site. I think the only thing you are missing is how a host can get their site on your review site if you are interested in that kind of thing since it looks like the hosts you are promoting are affiliates.

    Mark, thank you very much for the detailed reviews and suggestions. Much appreciated!
    LOL about sponsors thumb, it's actually a site logo. It's fun but I will certainly consider to change another one :)

    I myself is a domainer, so I always use quality domains for my website project. Mostly .com but for keyword rich niche I also choose .net or .org.

    Thank again!!!

    Hi.

    A couple of things.

    1- some things should just not be in blog format. Put your posts in categories, or "best posts" or "most read posts". Something so people know where to go. The front page doesn't suggest that you yourself have done any reviews.

    2- not all of them surely are 4-5 stars. If you are going to make up the reviews (?), make them worthy. If someone is going to leave the service because it is rubbish, then they are not going to give it 3.9/5

    3- hide the affiliate links from the "visit" button.

    4- put the hosting coupon codes in a more prominent place.

    5- add more reviews and maybe guest reviews.

    All the best.

    kerfren, thank you very much!
    All suggestions noted and info well received.
    I will invite some real reviews from web hosting forums soon.
    And hiding the affiliate link function is under development.

    I will change the site base on your suggestions soon. Thank you for the honest opinions again!

    its a great domain name,
    especially the one in your signature - abcde.com


    you are a good domainer, - you should start to make $ with it - my suggestion. people would kill for those type of domains.
