It took me approximately 15 - 20 seconds to load the site. Which is considered slow to me. Normally sites take less than 5 seconds to load up. That is the 1st time loading, other than that 1st time, visiting other part of the site takes less than 3 seconds.

Is that logo 'TheHostMarket' is there supposed to be a white dash line on the 'k'? Kind of disturbs the name to me.

Maybe you can move the 'Search' (the Search box on the right side of the page) up. I prefer to Search to be somewhere visible at the first glance. Then again that is just my personal preference to be able to search on fingertip.

Anyways, overall the site is good
Good luck!

-P.S. These are just my opinions. No offense at all.

About the speed, i think that its my host - i have contacted them as not only the site is slow but the FTP is too. Sorry

I have moved the search so it is easily sighted. The logo is being fixed, dont know how that line got there =)

Thankyou for your comments/criticism. Anything else please mention it.

No need to apologize for the speed at all
I am not sure if it is this me or is the Sponsors supposed to be empty? I remember I see a image ad there not long ago.
Good luck! ^^

Nice setup, it looks good all the way around. just 2 small suggestions that i have:
Top of the page, move your logo to the middle and move the access buttons
(Register • Search • FAQ • Member List • Show Team • Log in) down to where the blue bar "Welcome to The Host Market" is. It should make the site look a lot more accessible, which is what ultimately counts for the user.

Im not going to move the logo to the middle as of the banner on the right, it wont look right but i would have if the banner wasnt there.

Im also not going to move the access buttons to where the blue bar is because its needed on every page.

Anything else anyone?
