Site redesign and improvements

NetHosted Staff Joined: 22 Mar 2004 Posts: 7017

Hi,

As you may have noticed we've given the site a bit of a make over!

A few of the improvements we've made:

We've also fixed a lot of bugs:

There are also other things we've been working on (new sections to the site, new bits of software to add value) that we're sure you'll love

We will be introducing these as they become ready in the coming months...

Hopefully we've not lost the clean lines and general "NetHosted feel" that you're all used to. Do let us know what you think we've got right

and what could do with more work

!

Thanks,

Andrew

Hi,

It looks great

I presume the site is design from widescreen monitors as I have to scroll right to see the right side of the page as I have non-widescreen monitor (not for long mid-December new monitor

).

Thought it not an issue as it just the background that can't be seen.

When I saw the new look yesterday I had to check to make sure I was at the right site lol

Garry,

Glad you like it! It is designed to be best viewed on a widescreen display. All content is on screen on 4:3 displays but there will be scrollbars as you mention. Widescreen displays are the industry standard these days so we have designed with this in mind. Our old site looked positively tiny on larger resolutions! Your new monitor will hopefully make the new design even more appealing

Hi Andrew,
I think there's a typo on the reseller hosting page - the price for .co.uk domains is listed /year instead of /2 years.
Impressed to see VPS coming soon (any idea of timescales?) plus the return of dedicated server!
Cheers,

Will the VPS packages will be as "managed" as http://www.nethosted.co.uk/uk-dedicated-servers.php? VPS could be a useful half-way house - I find that Drupal 6 with the standard contrib modules is pretty demanding of the server.

Hi,

We picture them bridging the gap between our reseller offerings and dedicated boxes. So yes, we will offer our usual level of service and support with them.

Thanks,

Andrew

Neat - VPS is interesting. According to the picture on your vps page one user gets the lights and another gets the ventilation. How does this work?

Hi,

There isn't no. We want the pages to look the same layout wise (gaps, width of internal content) in all browsers/resolutions and this is not possible to do for the internal content if we use percentages instead of pixels.

Thanks,

Andrew
