Hi Guys,

i have recently opened my little hosting business after around
5 weeks planning and i just want your opinion on what you
think of the layout of the site (also i tried to integrate the
site layout into whmcs a little bit but i want to know what you think
about the site) and the speed of it also the pricing of my packages
(Keep in mind i work on a No oversell policy and i dont oversell and
space or bandwidth on my VPS)

Also i want to know what you think of my domain name :P
was it a good find or not, or is it easy to remember?? :)

My Offshore Hosting site:
http://hostgi.com


VPS Specifications:
 Processor: Quad Core Q6600 @ 2.40 GHz (4x 2.40 GHz)
 Speed: 2400 MHz
 Memory: 2.5 GB /DDR3
 Port Speed: 1 Gbit

My Sales Thread:

please have a look at my sales thread (5GB HDD/50GB BW)

I am here to stay so i want some Feedback!

Thanks for reading guys and i hope you
got some time to look at my site and tell
me what you think of it.

Regards,
iHate u.

i think you should reduce the space and increase the bandwith upto 500 GB..if your server up time is really almost 99% then u can increase the price.because the customers always need uptime,no money matters..
about your domain
it need to include warez name in domain..
reasons-
everyone find hosting with including warez name which means offshore hosting.
 
Thanks for the review mate i will take some of that in although i disagree with you on the domain name a little as i think that the one i currently have sounds very professional instead of the offshorehost.com warezhost.com warezhosting.com ect...

Also i wont be limiting myself to offshore hosting i will also go into onshore hosting.

I don't really want to close myself in and make warez my only market.
 
the skin is good. looks neat and inviting.

the rates are also good.

If you're site is kinda big then why go for a 'budget plan' when you can simply afford to get better bandwidth on the larger plans.

I kinda wanna try it for my self but i'm currently focused on my small site xD
 
What to say. If I was some kid without a hosting, I would never chose your hosting. I know some persons love darker skins, even I like them. But, when you're running this kind of business, hosting.

You need to show some professionality, like:

Write your own text. You basically copied every part of text on your site, from some other sites.

And that shows that you're probably some kid, who wants some fast money. Or, that you're some old lazy guy. Who wants fast money.

Basically, you can't run an 'company' via VPS. Spare me that bullshit, when we get more clients, I'll buy dedicated server. I hear it all the time.

You shouldn't have really bought that VPS, you won't last long. This was just waste of your precious time, but don't be sad because of that. Experience is worth, one guy said:

@Smexy
Thanks for the feedback :) - template is premade with a lot of custom edits
and also i tried to integrate it with whmcs :P so I'm glad i did it right.
Reason i created 2 plans Standard and a Advanced, is because i know
there are a lot of forum owners who are starting out with limited funds
therefore they don't want to put too much $$ into hosting and the second
reason being is because i am a "new" host people would want to see how
reliable the hosting itself is and if its good for them, also if you want to try
i am giving out 5 Standard packages as review packages in my sales thread
free of charge for a duration of 30 days :) - try it out! :)

@Jason
Most part's of the site which i see where relevant i copied from other sites but
i edited it to suit my needs (not just site URL or name) and this is not really
for quick cash i am experimenting to see if i can make a decent hosting company
and your right i will upgrade soon to a dedi once i see things are going good,
but if you doubt the capability's i understand also the VPS i think was a good
ideas i am want to give it a go (6 months) minimum and if it all works out
then yeah :) sorry if it seemed bad that i copied parts from websites but if
i wrote it myself it would not seem professional enough,not an excuse but
i got to start from somewhere :)
 
I think a domain name describe the purpose of the website. Actually, having 'warez' in your domain is not so clever, because it's know Godaddy removes these domains if they receive a complaint.

One of my domains is 'youroffshorehost.com' which describes it's purpose without emphasizing warez too much.

Also, words like 'sublime', '5star' etc are pretty good (better said: I like them). I was lucky to scoop up 'ecstatichost.com' last week.

You said 'hostgi.com' to be a professional name, but I feel to see that. What does it stand for? Why did you leave 'joe' of it?

Furthmore, you supply very litte info in your sales thread. Is the all so popular Cpanel included, does it support Softculous One click installer' etc ...

These are almost essential.
 
Thank you for your feedback sniffdog its greatly appreciated :)
i took up your advice on mentioning that cpanel is included as
i did fail to mention that and it could potentially cause confusion
as there are loads of different panels out there.
i havent added softculous/Fantastico De Luxe as i offer neither.

Regarding the domain i was looking for something that had
the word: host in it and i didnt want it to be longer than 7 letters
so i started choosing random combinations i.e.
hoston, hostco, hostgo, hostto, ect...
and i finally liked HostGi Gi pronounced: Gee

I liked it and its personal preference :)
i think it is quite good and professional.
 
i havent added softculous/Fantastico De Luxe as i offer neither.
Click to expand...
My next advice do so .... it's only like $1.50 per month. And people (especially beginners) like to have their blogs or forums installed with one click.

Ask 'Robert420' for a Softculous license.
 
Thanks for the advice, i would consider softculous over Fantastico De Luxe
as Fansastico has a few security issues with it.

thanks for the tip :)
