I think those are the last two steps that still need some work - after those are gone over you should be golden!

I agree those two areas are the worst of it, I also hate the shake and stock images.

It's dreadful.
What makes YOU special. Why should I host with you? Why do you care more than who I host with now?
You must realise you are almost constantly trying to get people to switch from their existing host. So do something different.
If you're in Amsterdam or London, let's meet and talk about how to make your site stand out.

PS get someone with English as a first language to fix the MULTITUDE of mistake in the copy

Thanks for the details, the logo and footer will be changed for sure, also the images are stock photos and will be replaced with customer images and testimonials. Maybe one shot of the employees and if we found the right person a spokes model.
I also hate the shake too, we will get rid of that.
I always question how websites try so hard to sale their services on their website. If you look at the sites you mainly do business with they usually keep it simple yet professional and functional. I prefer to save the copy for banners and promos. I want this site to be functional, simple, professional, clean, and big. We will let our name, rep, and sales people do the rest.
Your right, the grammar is not checked and added by someone that does not speak English as a first language lol it just based on a conference call to our head designer. We will edit that as we go.
Good point but I also think you could also swap the logo with any host and no one one know lol expect for maybe that host with the cows in the background. We don't have a pig or a moon for branding just our name and logo and we are o.k. with that.
Our target is long term customers not people trying to get a free month promo. Most of our thousands of customers have been with us for 3+ years some for 7 or more. So trying to get customers to switch is not our target but a nice plus. We want people that want a long term partner that will be there every step of the way.
Thanks again for the feedback it is in the baby phase of the new design and needs lot's of love.
