The niceset hosting sites?
Hello,
Can anyone give me links to hosting (only please) sites that they like, that have nice design layouts, or that you just like in general?
I am trying to get design ideas for my website only.
Thank you,
Kyle

Every one of the sites posted so far takes an age to load on dial-up (I'm using a friend's AOHell connection at the moment). While I wouldn't call myself an impatient person, if I was the average Internet user, I would be clicking the back button before any of these sites finished loading.

Am I the only one here who thinks Ceonex sites are nothing special, on top of the fact that they all look the same?

http://www.hostnexus.com/ looks the best IMO. Allthough I havent seen all hosting/isp sites. And its not because its a ceonex design. I have seen some crappy designs from them. Not saying I could do it any better

Whoa... it took a whole minute for that site to load on my comp.
I think these are really nice "looking" site, and they do attract customers and whatnot, but when it comes to effectiveness, you have to take into consideration that if the website takes forever to load visitors will just give up half way through.
Then again, it's much easier to buy a visually appealing template for $50 than it is to spend a few hours designing a nice, effective and quick loading website.
just my $0.02 (Canadian!)

Ah, but once it's loaded and cached, it's pretty fast. Our site, websitesource, hostrocket etc are not $50 templates (try adding 3 more zeroes). They are custom sites designed by Ceonex and I doubt that any of them took less than 6 months to make.
Make sure you check out the Flash presentations on them too as that is what took the longerst to make. I like ours best because the music isn't hardcore nosebleed material.██ Laurence Flynn @ HostNEXUS.com

You paid $50,000 for that design?!
That's it, I'm quitting everything and getting into design/marketing...Last edited by fantom; 04-16-2004 at 12:47 AM.

All these people on 56k quit whinning, and get dsl or cable, its not expensive anymore, and if your in this industry you shouldn't be using 56k, it only downgrades what the web can be.

1. What's preventing proper Internet growth is people who refuse to learn to spell. It's a basic skill.
2. Downgrades the web? I've seen 7mb flash sites that 'downgrade the web.' I'm on a high-speed line but if a site takes minutes to load I don't really care who spent how much or how long it took to make; I'll move on.

I just wish more people would subject that logic to the hosting business as well.██ Laurence Flynn @ HostNEXUS.com
