scurrell Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 The first thing people are going to do is check gstefanou.com, and realise it's neither hosted by, or registered with you. What's the point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the point? We don't own that website so why would people be checking that website? That's our customers one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scurrell Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 We don't own that website so why would people be checking that website? Why? Because the ad for it takes up half the bloody page, and it's not even hosted by you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojowill Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 get your crayons back out and redo the header for a start, you need a strong brand identity at the moment there is nothing on your site to really sell yoruself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andihosting Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Just a pointer the banner on the homepage looks abit like this one http://www.fasthosts.co.uk/hosting/ Try making your own banners / adverts, and if your a developer your customer should be told that its not your own work other than that well done.

bear Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 A bit like? Identical would be closer to the mark. Check the img source. Stole the credit card image from here (also hotlinked): http://www.pacwebhosting.com/images/cards.gif Awesome job. Really. Oh, and then there's this: http://hosting.cybernet-online.org/knowledgebase.php?action=displayarticle&id=1 http://www.ihubnet.com/tos.php Copied, word for word, and not edited to match his site except for the business name. I especially like this bit: "The laws of the State of California and the United States of America apply." when it refers to a UK company. Wow.

mojowill Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 nice hot linking to another providers images?? http://www.fasthosts.co.uk/pics/50percentoff/banner_hosting.png I can't believe people like this can really honestly ask for peoples opinion this thread should be locked, deleted and erased from all our memories should WHMCS really be involved with this kind of business?!

striddy Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 A question for those of you in the UK. Are UK businesses meant to display some type of business registration number or VAT numbers on their site(s)? Can't see any such thing on cybernet's hosting or software selling sites.

DedicatedPros Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I don't think you do no, but its an added benefit as people tend to trust actual companies more (which reminds me I should get around to doing that lolz) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are a registered business, yes. You are also required by law to display full address and contact details on your site. Phone number and email address is not sufficient.

easyhosting Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 what can you expect from someone who was selling illegal microsoft software and then took the site down when he was found out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest for TOS he should speak to his own DC or root host as they will allow him to use their TOS as it will refer direct to the server he is on.

Division Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 VAT Registered and Limited company's are required by default to display that information. Sole Traders and non ltd companies dont need to show it apart from the contact details from the compan.y A question for those of you in the UK.

easyhosting Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Banners and page content updated... Copied items removed... One major concern, your terms of service are not available to view to anyone considering hosting with you, so prospective clients dont know what is allowed or not allowed etc before decided. This would turn me off hosting with you as i like to know what i am signing up to and rules i have to abide by before deciding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
