I've always found these to be really neat.

I know VPS.net has this. I am referring to the VPS plan scrolling/scaling comparing thing (no idea what this is called).

I also noticed that Hostgator has the similar thing on the VPS plans page:
http://www.hostgator.com/vps-hosting/

Then I came accross OverlineIndia.net which had the exact same thing as HG but in a different color:
https://overlineindia.net/vpshosting-p-62.html

I am wondering if HG and Overline is sharing the same thing where they could've downloaded or purchased? If so, where can I get these? :P

I've seen these on a few sites, but nowhere you could actually download them. I don't think it would hurt to ask one of them if you could possibly use it/pay to use it.

If worst comes to worst, I'm sure you could find a programmer to whip one up.

Yeah, I like these too. Seems to be the future of hosting. A small thing, but not only fun but also probably increases sales. SWEET!

This is what both those sites are using.

There is a thread in WHT some where about OverLineIndia copied HostGator's site etc... Not sure if the scroller that HG is using is designed by them though or they bought it...

I would say they have taken too much inspiration of HostGator, I would not class it a formal rip, Though inspiration of a high magnitude at least :rolleyes:

Yeah, it does look like the Overline was heavily inspired by HG's website, and now they've taken the scroller. But to answer the OP's question, the js used on both these sites is from the author at my link above.

This same js was called on both those sites: http://www.hostgator.com/vps-hosting/js/slider.js

Credits were given in the source code. Granted, the slider js is pretty basic and HG did some customizations to it to get it look and function the way it does, the base of the slider js code is free and available for anyone to use.
