what fonts do you recommend?

if you used vistor, which i think you did, un bold it in the places you have it. and with the larger places where theres vistor look wrong. Try making them semi transparent or something.and where content goes a volter font might work. I'm not certain though >.<

btw, tone down on the bold colors. :)

Well,

I dont think its right for a hosting template because:


The font is wrong
It looks too much like it was made on paint (As Move-Along Said)
It generally doesn't have an appeal that would make me want to buy hosting from this company


Improve on all these points.

There is a couple of things I always have in my head as im designing a layout:

Would this make the user want to browse this site?
Is it user-friendly and webmaster-friendly?
If i was the visitor and I saw this would I think it looks good/appealing?

I would advise you to plan out a clear strategy in your head before you start the design of your layout and you should see a vast improvement in your designs. Learn from other people's designs by looking at them and then, if you like the look of it, try to re-create certain parts of it but add in your own touches to make it your own.
