Right off, I can see that you don't really have a logo. That's the biggest problem. Otherwise the design looks fine.
Another thing is that you should make your page headers bigger - make them stand out somehow. The headers on each page should match the labels on the navbar. I clicked on the link from the home page but I didn't realize right away where it was sending me.
If you're making lists, use LI's!!! It's much cleaner looking than the dashes you've got on there.
On the sign-up page, what if people don't kwow what their weekly pageviews are? If you say that domain names can be "commonly purchased" for $13.50/year you should provide some links to places that do register them at this price.
One more thing - make your links some other colour. It's not readily apparent that those are links - they could be interpreted as text you wanted to emphasize for some reason. And sometimes you have used bold to emphasize text, or on the headers.
I like your site, I find the colors go very well together.
If you want my idea, i think you could make a log that spans the light blue, the dark blue, and the grey, as it would look good. Anything would be fine as a logo. maybe a simple computer monitor or a nice hand drawn cartoon caracter.
I was wondering how do you plan on keeping the service free, without having add banners.
As usual,
I didn't read the other answers, so please ignore dupes.
1. The border (around the tables) looks cheap.
Loose it or at least make it black.
2. There are at least 4 different blues, not including the (standard) link blue plus 3 (incl. white) greys. That's to much from a psychological point of view. Focus on 6 colors, at most. 3 pairs work well.
3. Play with the fonts, especially the "synanet.com..."-line. Try something like verdana or make it strong.
4. I like the "box in the middle"-design, I used to use it quite a lot myself, but I think it's a bit worn out.
How about going for something "flowing" and "round".
5. You offer free hosting, but your site is so slow that I wouldn't be looking at it this long if I were a "normal" visitor.
(And it's not the page size, that looks OK.)
6. Your source looks nice and clean. You use CSS, but don't make optimal use of it's possibilities. (E.g. use the border propertie to replace those ugly default borders.)
7. Where do I buy ?
Add an obvious link to the eye-catcher ( "100MB,..." )
I hope you take this as it is meant, feedback.
8. One last thing, were is the contact information ?

Hello.
