   Hello there! (:
   My name is Ashley, and I will be reviewing your site!
   Before I start, I would first lke to clear some things up:
   I will be using internet Explorer while reviewing your site, with a size 1280 x 800 resolution! :)
   So how about we get started?

   Okay first I would like to start with the layout:
   To be honest, when I first when to the website I was a bit disappointed.
   The layout is so dull, and boring.
   It just looks like one of those premade templates you could get from like a free
   website hosting website. (no offence of course, I am not saying it is bad, just
   it doesn't have much to it.)
   It may just be me, with the whole 'loving images' or just wanting color, but I feel
   like you could have done a lot better, if you put a bit more effort into it. :)

   Also: "Christmas Plans"
   I am one whom celebrates christmas, but not everyone does.
   My friend gets quite offended when no one ever has anything for her holiday,
   and christmas, basically gets everything.
   Maybe do "Holiday Plans"
   And say "Since the holidays are coming around we thought that we..."
   That would sound much better and please more people, rather than just having it
   say christmas. :)

   Other than that, I found your site quite interesting! :)
   Its easy to navigate, and everything is really clear. :)

   Overall:
   I give it a 3/5 stars, only because of the layout, that pushes people away. :)

   Best of luck with your website! (:
   And I hope that some what helped! :D

   Please, if you review focus on typing ans spelling errors.

   Sorry, but I am going to pay attention to everything, dear. :)

   Site Name
   If I were you, I would have chosen a .com domain since your website is a commercial website. You just made it easier for someone to take your domain name. It is easy to remember, though.

   Appearance
   Layout - This is boring. Where is the excitement? The fun? Your layout does not catch my eye at all. You do not even have a favicon.

   Why you should choose us?

   If you are telling visitors why they should choose you, then you should definitely word this differently. Personally, a nice welcome message or a blog for the index page would do much better than the generic "YOU SHOULD CHOOSE US BECAUSE... "

   Homepage:
   All accounts come with those new brand features, that nobody have. should be "All accounts come with brand new features such as __________." Don't make me contact you just so that I can find those features out--that means work. As a potential customer I do not want to have to work for hosting with your company.
   You have many applications? Really? Then what makes me any different from everyone else?
   "Our plans are cheapest ever." should be "Our plans are cheaper than they have ever been."
   Take away the second and third sentences that are inline with the pig. They are redundant.
   The clients statement seems redundant as well. Why not just state the fact that the staff invites anyone and everyone to be a part of the EH family instead? I mean, you just made me read a bunch of text that could have been shortened. After all, this is not your about me page.
   The last sentence inline with the sun is not needed.

   About:
   Try changing the text under your "About" header. I feel that that paragraph could be worded much better.
   Do not EVER put numbers as the date when you are making a professional website. Always spell out the date--always. I don't want to have to WORK in order to figure something out.
   Also, fix the grammar on this page and try to word things differently. Do not display your host's server information--it is not required. No one cares about that, to be honest. Simply go to host-tracker.com and sign-up. This will then lead you to a page where you can copy a code that will measure your site's UPTIME. Uptime is THE MOST important to a client and to you. As for the 'team', why would I wish to ever be hosted by a fourteen year old? I am eighteen. In other words, do not display your ages. Eh, she is an amazing friend? Wow, what does that mean to me?

   Actually, I do not have the patience to complete this review at this time. If you would like a full review, please contact me on my blog at sarah.partyofme.com by leaving a comment and I will review it for you.

   UPDATED 05 Nov 09:
   Actually, it is Google Chrome instead of "Safari".

   So before I start, I thought I should point out;
   "if you review focus on typing ans spelling errors."
   Despite the obvious errors in the above statement, you shouldn't just use reviewers to point out your spelling and grammatical errors. There's more to a website then just text and you should really use a dictionary if you're unsure of the spelling of a word. I for one, will not be subjected to pointing out every single spelling/grammatical error.

   First of all, the theme. It looks quite sleek and suits the category of your site (hosting). But considering your theme has no sidebar I think you should emphasize the padding, increase it. Also your little image icons (on main page) could do with some padding, as no padding makes the text look messier.

   This is on your index.
   "All accounts come with those new brand features, that nobody have." You should rephrase to All accounts come with with brand new features, that nobody else has.

   "EmeralHosting is back with new standards, best hosting, low prices and unlimited features." I suggest you change 'best hosting' to great hosting as not only does this make more sense in your sentence, but it is less subjective than stating that your hosting is the best.

   "Let the past behind, we need to look to the future." Change Let to Leave.

   Ok I'm going to cease correcting your English errors for a little bit and review the site and the rest of it's content.

   FREE:
   Well for some reason this page refused to load, but it eventually did. Not much to say here, but perhaps instead of using that large image to display your plans you could use a table, it would look neater and more organized too.

   STARTER:
   This page doesn't exist.

   SHARED:
   "you need more day by day?" You need more what day by day? Space? Remember not to exclude little necessary words like that, people may get the wrong impression.

   "If you are going to extend your website and have more traffic, content, then you should buy a Shared Plan" Should be If you are planning on expanding your website and its content, then you should buy a shared plan.

   Again, the same applies as what I mentioned above about your FREE page.

   RESELLER:
   "Remember to read our Terms And Coditions before you buy something." Terms And Coditions should be Terms and Conditions

   Again, the same applies as what I mentioned above about your FREE page.

   ADD-ONS:
   "Those ADD-ons are specially made for people who need more, want to extend their website and get a popular one."
   You should rephrase to These ADD-ons are specially made for people who need or want more to help expand their website.

   Well all in all, EmeralHosting does offer quite fair plans. The site itself has a nice clean appearance. Keep in mind I've only corrected a few of your errors. I understand that English is not your first language, so I commend you for your efforts. Keep practicing! :)

   Hey there. I'm using Mozilla Firefox 3.5.3 on Windows XP Professional with a resolution of 1280x800.

   When the page loaded, my initial was reaction was that maybe there was something wrong with your layout or my settings and none of the images had loaded. I was quite surprised to realize a few moments later that there were none.

   This is both good and bad, depending on how you view it. First, it doesn't have the usual clutter that business-type websites often have. This is a good thing because there's nothing to distract the viewer from the main content. Simply put, there's no clutter.

   You might also consider this a bad thing. Because most business websites employ a large number of images in theirs, it's become sort of a stereotype/template and the viewer might think that you, in comparison, did not give as much effort in designing your website - and therefore may not give as much effort in other parts of your business as well.

   Moving on, I would agree with North and say that you need a logo in your website. You said in your response that you've designed one but I can't find it anywhere. Once you've put it into your design, I also suggest that you make it into a favicon.

   Also, the four boxes which you use for displaying your latest news, in my opinion, is confusing. At a glance and without looking at the dates below the titles, it's almost impossible to tell what order they are in. Maybe you can combine the top row of boxes for one big box for your latest news and use the bottom row for something else such as featuring your latest promos, deals, discounts and other such content.

   For your content, I've found numerous typographical errors in several pages. To list them:
   -- the quote on the top right of each page. "realiabe" should be "reliable"
   -- in ordering a subdomain. "Woespress" should be "Wordpress"
   -- in your support desk. "you nameservers" should be "your nameservers"

   There are also several cases of unclear (or to be blunt, bad) grammar but since there's no specific way to correct them all, I simply suggest that you look over your paragraphs before posting them.

   The typos and grammar cases should be fixed as soon as you can, and you absolutely must check for them before posting your content online. They only serve to degrade you in the eyes of your customers and will definitely not help in your business.

   This is pretty much all I can say for now. Sorry for being rather negative, but I suppose that's how we can all improve :)

   Good luck with your website!

   First off, the layout is quite plain. You may want to create a logo for it. Almost all professional businesses will have a logo. Design your own using free software like GIMP or get someone else to do it. You can't expect good business without one.

   Next to comment is on the text. To me, it doesn't sound professional. You have to sound as official as possible to prove that you are reliable.

   We have the smallest prices ever, and we are proud of this. I guess we are the first web hosting company who is selling an unlimited Reseller Package with just $17.

   Nobody (as far as I know) says "smallest prices." Rephrase it to something like "We are proud to have the lowest price for our service anywhere" and then you have to show that by comparing your plans with other host's plans. NEVER say "I guess" ANYWHERE on the "fixed" text meaning everything except the support and forums. It will make you sound chatty and unreliable. You may want advertise your free hosting on the front page and then advertise for paid hosting on the control panel for free hosting. Many users may not notice you have free hosting at all since you're not promoting that anywhere.

   Also an important note: don't mention that you only have 21 members. That will make you look small. You want to make yourself look big. Big companies are generally more reliable than smaller ones.

   Make sure you have an area for your customers to receive support. People WILL pay more for an identical service on another site which is cheaper but comes with quality support. Setup a forum or IRC channel. Get 24/7 toll-free phone support if you're looking to grow big.

   Lastly, the "welcome" seems completely off-topic from the site. Mention something about the fact that you offer quality hosting. Make that section state what you're all about.

   UPDATED 12 Sep 09:
   Looks much better now.

   I only suggest that you support center from the coming soon list rather than crossing it out as it makes it look like you decided to not add a support center rather than having completed it. Or, you could change the title of that box to "Todo List" or something along those lines. If it's like that, then crossing things out as you complete them will be perfectly acceptable. You may also want to add something like "Done" or "Implemented" to the right of the crossed out feature to be sure.

   I also like the fact that you now have a contest on your site.

   Thank you so much. I fixed many things, and soon I'll install a support scrip. Until then, I have a live chat installed:). I designed a logo too, hope you find it nice:)
