The site looks really nice. I like its simplicity.

One thing I might recommend is to throw in an additional color, but only in certain areas to achieve emphasis. Right now, the white and yellow seem to be washed out. I would try to play around with a nice contrasting color, just to see what type of effect can be achieved.

Other than that, it's very professionally done. I like the "honey-comb" logo!

looks good but maybe you should show some details on the different hosting packages on the first page to make people interested.. also, show some testimonials (if you've got any.. may be hard if you're for example just starting out), because people love them.. makes it seem safer to do business with you because there's people out there that's happy with your services..

I'm the wrong person to attempt a critic, because I despise corporate looking sites, but frankly your site is to plain. Simplicity can be a good thing, but if you are going to be successful at selling your product or offering services, what ever it may be you are going to want to list at least some of those on the main page. Like I said, I hate corporate sites, but displaying your offers and sales on the main is clean and decent way is an acceptable and appropriate way to draw customers in. Put yourself in the shoes of your clients. You're not going to browse the site for maybe 5min looking for information on the best deals, but sadly the percentage of users that go beyond your main page is around 20% - so the majority of web users what to find what they are looking for on the first page loaded. Using fancy flash intros is a good way to keep the user put until it loads the introduction or main page, but think about what you are offering and try to better present that on the site. If you want people to know you are small time company will little to offer, then by all means keep the design you have going. Just my personal opinion, but take it for what it's worth.
