Really great looking site! Should be listed as feature site for INDEXU!

Just two things. I always liked the graphic to clickable same as the text link.

I didn't see a power search?

Very classy site...!

esm : Thanks for your positive comments and recommending Hostoholic.com to be a featured site..

Not many use power search on my site, hence, i happen to exclude powersearch on my site.

Yes, It just slipped out of my mind to make the image/graphic to make it clickable. later it did occur to me to do what you recommended. I'll make the graphics clickable.

More opinions/feedback/suggestions ??

Thank again.
Cheers

indeed that is awesome! I like it so much specially the front page. It is not only clean and elegant, but the color is eye catching too. We can also find useful information there

But I think the membership feature is not quite exposed. I visit registration page, it could contain some information/benefit becoming a member. The favorite listing may help them finding and sharing their opinion.

I also visit forum, the appearance is the same with indexu pages. Cool!

... good job! Looks kinda different from the basic indexu site!

Two thing that I would improve:

1. I tried to go back (home) by clicking the hostoholic logo. Just link this logo too.

2. For me the start page seems to be to big. I would place the categorie icons on the subpage instead of the main page. Also get a skyscraper for the main page and place the three top listings somewhere below or get is smaler. This makes your main page more straight forward.

Dody & tjoerg : Thank you very much for the suggestions !!

Yes, I should have done this. I'll write a few points as to why the membership is useful on hostoholic.com on the registration page.

I also visit forum, the appearance is the same with indexu pages. Cool!

Yeah...I also added a news section here http://news.hostoholic.com , which is also customised to have the same look of indexU pages. I am using cafelog/b2 for news section and miniBb for forums section.

One of The beauties of IndexU is that, every aspect of the site can be customised, and i really like that a lot.

I tried to go back (home) by clicking the hostoholic logo. Just link this logo too.

Yes, I was thinking of the same. I'll do that now.

As such there seems to be soo many hosting related directories almost more than 100 of them. Although hostoholic.com is not outstanding in its category, I just want to stand out fo the crowd. Most sites have a lot of info on their home page itself. I am also trying to build partnerships with other sites to have more content on my site.

Any other suggestions ?!

Thanks you

Ok, this is just my opinion, so just take it as that, as an opinion

Your site looks just really nice and proffesional, what I honestly did not liked, was the icons next to the categories, it looks nice I'm not going to lie, but they look like if you found them in google images or something, ,maybe creating some more proffesinal looking icons will improve your site...

that is JMHO

Good job on your site.
