    VPS.NET Cloud live - how do you like the design?

    Hey Guys, so - it's live...well, in public beta.
    How do you like the design? Is it a bit on the 'heavy' side? Or is it cool?

    We like it a lot - but I can see if some may think we overdid it a bit...

    Please let me have your input!

    Really nice design, as per usual with your web hosts. Also I'm loving this slider thing:

    https://vps.net/vps-signup

    I've tested your forum in 'Internet Explorer 8' (Latest version) and it works without any error(s).

    I know this is supposed to be about your design, however is there a reason you don't use PayPal or a form of payment gateway other than entering your card information. Call me paranoid, as I don't usually like submitting card information to hosts or whatever... just feel a bit safer with these companies like PayPal, Western Union etc.

    Overall 10/10 on the design!

    yeah, we really should add paypal as an option. Good point, thanks for your input.

    Is this cloud VPS the same concept as Rackspace/Mosso's cloud servers? http://www.mosso.com/cloudservers.jsp

    What is the difference between you guys and them. May help out little bit explaining that for people to set you a part.

    yes, I guess a page outlining how our solution compares would make sense...
    thanks for your input!

    You should ask in the main forums above if you'd like to get input from our clients. Here we just discuss the design

    I love it. Very catchy design and all the vibrant colors are very nice on the eyes.

    I also noticed after a few seconds how the robots are fixing a broken node... Love that

    It loaded but with a noticeable delay (2-4 seconds). The design is definitely A+.

    thanks for your input - we are still looking to maybe optimize the images a bit, but I'd hate to compromise on the design as it is

    it's one of those things...

    @eming, do you know smush.it?

    They can decrease filesize of your images, and they did a fine job:

    Pretty cool service - didn't do that much though, took away 1.85kb or 1.35%:
