Could you actually afford to run that site if everyone who signed up used 300MB of space and 100GB of bandwidth? For free, I'm guessing you couldn't. Therefore, I recommend you stop overselling and giving the rest of us hosts a bad name!

On a fairly unrelated topic, I don't think the icons and things on the left of the main page do anything for your web site

1.) Main page loads fine, Forums Very Slow, Some Portfolio Examples Very Very Slow.

2.) Navigation - works

3.) Professionalism aspect depends on who you target with it. 18-25 I would guess (In that range somewhere for age).... Might want to build your portfolio a bit as well... seems its mostly your current sites & your Old sites... (Even Mock-ups may help until you get clients)

4.) sign-up - To be honest I would sign-up to use it as a storage location & test its reliability for 6-12 months before I even thought about depending on it for anything.

5.) info. - in case of any future legal issues you may want to add a Terms Of Service. Privacy Policy, Copyright, Etc....

6.) Changes - the above stated Plus I would of course redesign the whole thing, My taste & yours are completely different I'm sure.

Good luck

  1. Loading Times - Not great am in the UK
  2. Easy of Navigation - The navigation is alrite i supose
  3. How "Professional" it looks - It needs a redesign the color scheme isn't very professional to be honest. I would suggest brighter colors.
  4. Would you signup if you were looking for free hosting? - i would use it as storage, its got ads on the hosting so i doubt i'd use it.
  5. Is enough information given? - yup i supose
  6. What changes would you make to it? - many many changes
Right first of all. Your Overselling. You will not get anybody to signup for hosting. And if you do manage to get enough people to signup they will take your server down for sure with Ease when they create high profile sites that kill there allowed bandwidth.

I used to do freehosting and trust me when i say your going the wrong way about it.

The forums are slow and have little to no information. Legally speaking you've not secured yourself at all. You need a Terms of Service, Privacy Policy & something to make sure your users don't make you liable for any issues.

hi! i checked it out.. the content is good.
It basically has all the information you need
however, i suggest that it would be better if
you could improve the layout of the site..
specifically, the logo.

the loading time is great in the usa. Yet i pinged your site and got the ip. but the requests timed out? and data packet lost was 100%

But you shouldn't oversell and your server is not located in the uk. That claim can certainly hurt you as you already see many people in Europe are getting lag loading.

The navigation works, but it doesn't quite looked streamlined, how it butts up against the right side of the page.

Moving it out and rounding it off on the right side would help.

I like the domain name itself.
Loads fast, navigation is clean and simple, looks nice.
Absence of major footer text like copyright and other T.O.S is noticeable.
Good work.

There should be some word like 'support' in the home page to make it more convincing.

Just out of context but I'll strongly recommend you not to oversell as it is difficult to maintain a free service with 100GB bandwidth unless you have some different plans to implement later on.
