You could benefit from using more variations on the colors. The teal/blueish colors are almost melting without giving any area the needed emphasis.
I'd think it would be ok if you'd use different shades of blue with more contrast and different angles of light.
You definitely have room for a custom logo that transports the "Insane" GB somehow. Overall, i think your template is way too mellow to match the domain name of "InsaneGB". Try to break the boundaries a bit and capitalize on the "insane" factor, visually as well as with what you're offering. Last but not least, once you're done with your customization, use something for a Favicon.

You are right about that ! the insane part is not really matching the domain,,,

the insane part is more for the insane cheap (free, doh) hosting

and the amount of it !

Thanks for your review though, I can do something with that

Great idea and great domain, but I'll have to agree with Intel. It's an awesome design don't get me wrong, but it doesn't quite come off as insane.

It has the feeling of typical web hosting templates that fill the Web today. I didn't like colors combinations as well here, it is missing some professional touch. But let us give some constructive suggestions:

1. Get rid of the rounded sides
2. Change the navigation looks, try not to increase font size on mouseover instead use something more practical and effective. and put it under header (logo)
3. Add some hosting icons / images related to your main layout ..or within the plans
4. Try to get rid of the vertical, reversed introduction in plan, It's nearly seen.
5. A favicon is needed as well.

Good luck

Very nice template. I like it, and think that it's unique and great.

I definitely think that you overdid it with the teal coloring, to the point where my eyes really were hurting. Vary the colors, and you have essentially the perfect template.
