Which want you think the visitors (newbies of course, people like us who knows the domain usually go straight to godaddy, registerfly or ev1 :D ) will order more from wildwest reseller site?

1. cloaked the address bar so no matter what links they click, the address still stay the same. You don't need host for this case.

2. not cloaked, but create the first entrance page, need small host, then every link after will make ugly address bar.

3. doesn't matter.

Mine is number 2, (host is free anyway with my reseller account that host bunch of other sites) but I'm plan to switch to number 1. Not sure if it's a good idea though.

Number one seems to be the best but also to cloack the status bar in order to hide secure....net :)

Watch for problems with cookies if you go with #1. We stopped doing that last year, maybe it is fixed now (having a valid short privacy statement) but it wasn't worth the hassle.


The stinky thing is - make sure you are logged out of your admin or control panel. Then go to
http://www.securepaynet.net/

I talked to them about this and they said it was fixed, I guess not. I have gone from being a big wildwest fan, to being sick of their program, sick of the constant interface changing, the mess, the mailings to customers that led to their own registry, the customer number switches and on and on and on and on.

Nice cosminl - I wonder why you copied the exact hex code colors: Red(#FF0000) Gray(#747474) from my sig :rolleyes:

another ripped off design? lol :D

I guess number 2 seems like more work but less effective than number 1. But until we find a way to hide the status bar, I think both of them are equal, since the visitors still see the status bar if you go with easiest method, number 1.
