a couple years ago.. i came across exabytes through a friend and some online banners
i was actually in the midst of looking for a hosting company myself for my wedding portfolio site

it was not until 2 years ago that i finally decided to use their services
partly it was because though there were a few choices in my list

exabytes seems to be the only one that doesn't have a bad review from people i know who uses it

anyways...their current website design has been around for almost 2 years
they will soon be announcing the launch of the new site and i am one of the lucky ones that were given this opportunity to have a sneak preview of the newly revamped site

the new site still have the clean and tidy look which was inherited from the old site
but the dynamic cross sell banner on the top was taken away...this is something i find pretty useful on the previous site
i've always think that this is a really good way for those sites that has to many things to shout out on the main page...
it will be much better to have this rather than having too many cross sell banners that will make the site looks like some advertising space...with too many information cluttered together

one of the newly added feature is the express links where you get to choose exactly what you need and what fits you the best
a small buy very thoughtful feature... :)

second added feature which is the drop down sub navigation that leads you straight to where you wanna surf, compared to the previous site where you need to go into more levels for the information you need...which can turn out to be quite confusing sometimes

clients testimonials section for giving good impressions to potential clients, i think it is pretty important to let people know how reliable your hosting plans are, and how good the after sales service can be, thus client's testimonials really do help as most people will do research based on testimonials given by other users

the preview site still have quite some broken links that are not fixed...i believe by the time they launch it should already be resolved...

here's the url to the current site : exabytes
