How can I improve them?

Second one is just the header. Both hosting layouts.

(I'm going to change the colours but to what?)

No offence, it doesn't look right, or like a hosting site. The first one is too complex in my opinion.

Referring to 1: You've put too much on it. Horrible colour choices. Maybe white, red? I don't like where some of the boxes are arranged. The footer looks too big. Simplicity is the key my friend:D. You should check other hosting layouts, and you'll see what I mean.

I know what you mean.

I'll delete the whole footer and start over.

I am choosing new colours though. I'm going to use different styles of grey.

I'm not sure what he's on about, but these designs are quite good. I love your choice of colors and the array of colors you chose, I wouldn't complain.

I feel as if it lives up to comfort that consumers want from their host. The feeling I get from these layouts is that you guys are high in customer support, and that's great.

I could see why someone would say it's too complex, but other comments, I wouldn't see necessary. Though, I'm a big fan of complexity :P

i don't know it just doesn't click the colors apart are nice but for hosting and stuff just doesn't seem to fit the only place i've seen this color scheme is here:http://komando.com/ and thats because it's a FEmale radio show host,maybe man it up a bit? :) arays are good...most of the time in this place might be good to stick with colors that are fairly matching maybe one of them color scheme sites i've used before but haven't lately you'll have to google cause i cant remember them for the live of me

I thought the first one was a dating site when I first saw it :P
The second one is really good but theres too much white space in the top middle.

You need to go for bolder colours, it all looks like the colour of puke. Also that drop shadow on the first layout's logo is bleurgh. Take eVaske for an example, it stands out. It also has JS goodness

The first on does look like a dating site, with the colours and the heart etc :P

Make the footer only like 2 lines high.
