Uh in the Personal section you say Plenty (X) a lot, where X is the relevant number. So yeah I say just put the numbers on that table

Oh also the middle icon at the top doesn't really seem to do anything when clicked

Oh and some of the titles on the pages run off over the picture of the computers as well which looks messy, you should fix that

And consider making it like javascript or flash or w/e so it smoothly transitions between the pages rather than reloading them each time

Ah, I forgot about both of those. Thanks.

Not that you're extremely interested in knowing, but just in case, I put "Plenty" there because the plan was to go with names first time buyers could understand.
I threw that idea out, and plan on making a smaller, "dumber" version of the site for people who are less technologically sophisticated.

Haha, yeah. That was actually made during some brainstorming session I had. And I decided not to go with it, so I wrote the others with just the number, and then forgot to change it back on the first one.

Can't believe I forgot that.

The site design is quite nice but the term "unlimited" makes me uneasy. It seems like Google could run on the $24.95/month plan since it offers unlimited bandwidth and storage. Also when you say "over 200 TB of diskspace available" does that refer to your company as a whole, or 200 TB per user? But there's unlimited disk space promised just blow the 200 TB of storage promise. Is it 200 TB or is it ∞ TB? It obviously can't really be infinite so you should either label it as unlimited* or say what the actual limits are (unless you can actually really honestly provide unlimited bandwidth and data).


*limit 200 TB per customer, terms and restrictions apply.

> You agree that any domain purchased through us belongs to us.

lol'd

Also are you just reselling colorhost packages? And why is their TOS so fucking retarded? You can't even host files or have folders without an index file in it? FFS.

Examples of unacceptable material on Are servers include:
Illegal use, according to U.S. and international laws.
Threatening Material
Fraudulent Content
Forgery or Impersonation
Unsolicited Content
Copyright Infringements
Collection of Private Data (Unless DPA Registered)
Viruses
IRC Networks (Including all IRC Material)
Peer to Peer software
Any Adult Content
Proxy scripts
File hosting/data warehousing
Sites without index pages and/or sites without publicly visible index pages
User may not:
Use 25% or more of system resources for longer than 90 seconds. There are numerous activities that could cause such problems; these include: CGI scripts, FTP, PHP, HTTP, etc.

Also not making the TOS easy to copy/paste is kind of dodgy to me. Will never buy from you or colorhost. Ever.

On this laptop with I think a 1366x768 resolution you have to scroll down to see the plans which is probably not good. Also I think the 'think simple' text is a bit too plain and I personally really dont like the shadow effect on that. I would exchange the icons of alien faces computers with actual pictures of your servers..
I would also cut down on some of these claims you are making or explain them further, like the bit about being green and the uptime.

Also why shouldnt anyone buy directly from colorhost? The reseller package is $15 a month for UNLIMITED EVERYTHING!@$!#$!

The website itself looks like a run of the mill web 2.0 template with some editing.

Is that really really unlimited or some unserious fraud/scam 200 TB "unlimited"?

Anonymous D replied with this 14 years ago, 1 minute later, 1 hour after the original post[^] [v] #379,118

@previous (Meta !PARAdoxiHw)
The fact all the key information is missing from the order page and the TOS I would assume it's a fraud, but just for the lulz lets order a $15 a month re-seller account and actually do TB's of storage and data transfer to find out. We can always sue if they bring up little rules we had no chance of knowing before the sale.

Sure is a nice company.

Also faking bad reviews against competitors; http://i42.tinypic.com/693qcj.jpg

Bunch of script kiddies running a non-regged business. You should find another 'company' to resell for.

> .co
I wouldn't trust anyone that uses a .co domain.
Nothing but typo-squatters, malware/scammers/phishers impersonating other sites, and unserious, unprofessional suckers without the common sense to realize that people can't resist typing whateverwhatever.co without adding the habitual 'm.' .co is about the worst TLD you could use because it will just feed your users to the .com owner at 1000 times the rate that a .net or .org would. Even .name, .info, .in, .im, etc are better.

There is also .at, but that is a whole other topic. (Brace for it.)

It looks really good. I really, really don't care about your services, but the design is really nice.
