You're one to talk, Mr I came here for sponsors, not your fucking opinions
I am a US resident. I looked at your website and have the following suggestions:
The currency conversions are an improvement, but I still have the feeling that:
The name "Vacation Private Servers" is not very good. I would shy away from such a company because:
The pricing page is obviously wrong. Am I missing something? Lower specs for higher costs?
I suspect that many LET customers want lower specs at lower costs than the 7 pound offer you proposed at the start.
My next VPS will be a KVM VPS.
@haloelite3 spammed the VPS forums at WebHostingTalk (posting as "sypheriashiftz") and got deleted in a blink. Here today, gone a minute later.
I am waiting to see the next brilliant idea that comes out from the creator of "Vacation Private Servers". An inability to follow the basic rules at WHT does not inspire confidence that they can run a VPS business.
Company name is stupid.
nothing unique.
Plans and pricing don't make sense.
you make lots of promises and guarantres with no facts, specs, stats, or case studies to back them up.
Openvz is so 2013.
US location in non US pricing.
Exchange rate updated 12/3/15... Um as far as I am concerned December 2015 hasn't. happened yet.
WHMCS not even changed the logo. And it's in /whmcs which is bad. How about /secure /billing /myaccount ???
12/3/15 is obviously 3 March, 2015. I'm guessing you're American?
@haloelite3
Use a currency converter web service like WHMCS does and show pricing thats up-to-date in whatever currencies required.
Second, regardless on how you came up with it or knowing its history, DROP "VACATION" from your brand name! A big part of sales is image and perception in a brand. As others have said, this does not make ME feel confident to use your services. It seems that you may be gone at any time and does not speak of your hopeful professionalism either. As long as you have this you WILL get issues with marketing your services as you will give a bad first impression. Also the slogan you used regarding making hosting a vacation is a bit corny and doesn't really make much sense to me.
I also recommend using a CMS over static web pages.
I also have seen your template many times elsewhere. While it is a nice bootstrap site, I can take 1 look at it and your whois, ignoring your brand name, and run away as fast as possible. You MUST be unique in a somewhat saturated market.
If you don't know what your doing I REALLY do advise you just become an employee in an existing operation to get the experience required for this.
Good luck!
Can we have a LowEndDateSystem. 2015/03/12 springs to mind
Seems to be the default format in WHMCS since WHMCS is a UK company.
When I started I only took EUR, after 12 or so months I started taking GBP and USD, business went up by a third, your opinion on the EUR/USD market is 110% irrelevant, it is what your potential customers think that matters
Vacation Private Servers is a truly terrible name.
Another one telling the name is bad.. I think there is a message in there somewhere, but what is it?
