The new site is really nice and shiney, but not very practical in use. I'm not sure if I'm missing it but there is not an easy way to compare different servers at once. You have to hover over individual servers to see what they contain and the rate, where before (on EV1) you could see the servers listed one after the other, easily comparing them. Also you don't list their base bandwidth on that paeg, you have to click on them to go to the customization page to see the bandwidth.

That would be nice. The flash stuff is kind of slow and annoying. Would be nice to have them side by side to compare what is offered for each price.

I find the new server configuration viewer (the flash animation) to be annoying and confusing. It has useless animations and makes it very difficult to actually find out what the server comes with (I have to go all the way to configure a server just to see how much bandwidth it comes with, this USED to be on the FRONT page without clicking ANYTHING.
That and the multitude of servers overlapping in a scrolling zooming list thing are very confusing. Look at the front page from mid 2005: http://web.archive.org/web/20050812012346/...rvermatrix.com/ Very easy to understand. I'd like the page to look like this (in information content and vaguely the layout, not graphical design) again. -------------------- Regards, Guspaz.

I second all comments made!! The new site is very impractical at best.

The best site they did was the plain white one. Just my opinion.
