Which of 5 designs are the best?

I would like you to post in this format.
Your help has been helpful to me but it was unclear to find out which design was the best.

Which designs do you think should be for a hosting company? Pick the ones you think I should choose then post in the following format.

Quote:
Good: 1+2+3

If I had the cheapest prices on the internet. Would you buy hosting from a hosting website with these website designs.

Click the image afterwards to zoom in.
Tell me which design is the best please.

#1 Geocites


#2 Modern


#3 Coated


#4 Basical


#5 BearBones

Just to clarify these may well be the 5 worse designs ever posted on this forum.
They are all fucking appalling.
This is a joke right?

I would suggest looking at a handful of your favourite websites and work out what it is that you like about each one (based on their design, layout and functionality) and try to build your own site on these principles.

I have to agree with...everyone. But if I had to pick one, I'd pick 5. It looks more like a website than the others.

STOP TAKING SCREENSHOTS, JUST EXPORT AN IMAGE. Jesus.

this guy is made up, I think it actually takes a degree of skill to make them look that bad - even a blindfold arthritic monkey would produce something better.

And, no, I would never, ever, ever buy hosting from a website that looked like any of those. Even free.

I've not read what people have replied with yet so if I repeat anything in this post then screw it. (Probably will be repeating)

The designs look like something that any kid the age of 15 would do. - Along with setting the hosting company up also, ironic.

I can’t be bothered to list 1, 2, 3 etc. Simply because just by briefly looking at them none qualify for a hosting company.

Hosting companies tend to have very stereotyped designs. With the exception of a few (who actually do well for themselves).

IF you are trying to be professional and you are not a 15 year old kid, buy some web space and a domain name first. Then export your designs as an image, gif/jpg whatever then upload them to the site. Straight away before even looking at the design I can see you aren't prepared simply because you using imagefly. (And screenshots ...)

And to answer your question: no I wouldn't buy from them with any of those designs. I wouldn't stick around to see what the site was about either. Cheap prices don’t always mean people will come rushing in, all the other hosting companies boast about their cheap prices too; they also have customer relations and support backing them too. (Again with some exceptions)
