I'm going to need new colors for this here (http://www.hornyhut.com) webpage.
Any of you got suggestions?

1) Change the moto right away as that might offend people.
2) Change the backround color to something light like white.
3) Take out that header and use something cleaner more professional, go for the "classy approach"
4) Take out the 3 days your account will be setup part on the FAQ, because no one wants to wait 3 days for their account to be setup.

This reads:
Horny Hut Hosting Inc. was started by me, Chris Philbin, in August of 2002. This comes after March when I wanted to get into the business of web hosting, but the plan fell through because I didn't have enough money, and I also did not have anyone takers on what I was offering at the time. 5 months later I have decided to go for it and start Horny Hut Hosting Inc. via the web (obviously) and get customers through means of online advertising.
as:
"I am a reseller working from my spare bedroom, I don't have any money and want to make a few bucks. I have no experience and hosting with me will mean that I can't answer any support issues because I haven't a clue what I am doing."
I can see you are trying to get a different 'angle' but I really don't think people will trust you from the site you have.
You need to lie and pretend you have dedicated servers, you also need to emphasize what great support you offer and lie about having 3 tech support staff working 24/7. Look at other hosting sites and copy and modify content. Hosting is a competitive business and while your 'Ho' Hosting is funny, it won't be funny when you get no customers.
As long as you choose a decent reseller like Insider (one of only a handful that I would trust), you will do well... but your site is somewhat lacking the fundamentals. Also, seen as though men will probably be your largest client base, at least have some women on there!!! There are plenty of images of 'Ho's' online to grab...lol.

Personally, I think that the name reflects the age/mentality of the not only the person that runs the domain, but the ones that will be hosting on it. You may want to purchase a professional domain name and have this one pointed to it. I have no doubt that your biggest clients will be adult sites.
I'm offended, not only as a woman, but as a client of IH.

Personally, I think it is more of a joke than a serious 'business'..
And more of the fact that he bought 'hornyhut.com' simply: because he could.

Good points, Pete! I'll get right on top of that now.
Note to self: LIE TO CUSTOMERS
Actually... I'll just delete that page! Only that one "About Us" page since we don't want people to know the truth that I know NOTHING! DUH!
There, all deleted. Now that's pretty damn professional... well, despite, "We put the 'Ho' in Hosting." Maybe I should change it to something like, "We put the 'Sting' in Hosting". But that might offend bees, so I really don't want to do that either.
You have good points, and good hinting skills too, Sara. You're 100% correct in what you were hinting at. I'm really some dumb retarded kid who knows NOTHING about computers (blogging, and graphics too!) and is trying to cheat and scam people to make money.
I have no intent in spending any more money on another domain, and if I do decide to not do that anymore... well.... you'll still be offended since I am generally an offensive person. You probably replied a week later since I suspended that account to give me sometime to think it out. I put it back up when I made some changes to the colors.
I could very easily change that domain to anything I'd like; just some things take more time than others in my SLOW MOVING mind.
