Since DBspot is down, I was searching for a new host. So I will suggest the one I found (free with PHP and MYSQL databases)

So here are some questions :
a) Do you know something about that host ?
b) What do you think about my website ? (I know it's not a really new one, but I'd like to know how to improve it)
c) Any other things you want to say ?

Here is the site : http://www.aziotou.com/

[EDIT]New address[/EDIT]

1. Don't have it saying just Hello World, have an opening paragraph.

2. Change the background colour, something lighter, white may work.

3. Your site is a mix of English and other languages, make a language bar so it switches the language using PHP or something (so you change the page so when l=en then all the pages are in english etc...). All you have to do is do the simple programming and write all the pages in all the languages

1. Yes, I'm still thinking about what I could write there. I'm not a genius writer (yet).

2. ok, can be fixed easily

3. Yes, that's what I wanted to do. But for now, this makes my page less empty. But I don't see the point to put a dutch or german description on a programm that is in french. But the introduction textes can be in the choosen languages.

Top right is very nice and fits in well.

Maybe remove the underline from the nav bar links, and make nav bar text bold.

Make the brown box headers same size as nov bar links.

Make paragraph text a bit smaller.

I like the idea of it though. Just need to make a few small changes to make it flow better

Erm, ... I did it : "Valencia - (Eng, De, Fr)" means that the program is in english, german and french.


Updates :
- Background not black anymore
- Nav bar changed
- Box headers are the same size as the nav bar
- paragraph text smaller (but I left the dutch bigger, to show the difference)
- Scrollbars are now in different colors(according to the rest)

Thanks for your comments

If you plan to use the same host as me, it's not really hijacking, because it was also one of the points of this thread. I found it on http://www.100webspace.com

By the way, do you have any ideas/suggestions on how my banners should look like ?

(88 x 31), (200 x 40) and (468 x 60)
According to the site of course

Yes, yes, it does ... If you checked my site, you would have realised it.

For now I'm thinking about the sentence I will write to welcome people.

lol.

Damokles. How about something like this (randomly made now):

Welcome to Azouto (spellling?). Then write a bit about why you set it up and a short paragraph about yourself (with more detail in the About Me Section). Mre stuff on the multi-lingualness of the site and how each section may be in a different language....

Ok, changed the "Welcome Text". Tell me what you think about it.

Don't hesitate to point on grammatical errors. I won't feel offensed if you do, I know english is not my first language, so I'd be glad to get it better.

for a moment I thought you were going to be describing your websites affiliation with popular gangs who sing and dance stylishly, and then your websites involvement with a pretty hispanic girl, but then ends up getting itself killed, or something like that.


No plot? No problem! Come write with the worst of us!

Lol, Jerico2day, that was exactly what I wanted to do.

So now it's updated. (Yes, the story goes on)
You can click on the flags to change the language. It finally works.
Soon I will get the other pages multilingual. hehehe ... more power.

What could I add to make it look better or to get it more interesting ?

Of course you can use it. I'm flattered that you liked it actually!

I get javascript error messages on gallery page by the way. Your ONMOUSEOVER code on carnival piccy should have single quotes around status text. It's incorrect in two places.

Change:

That's better, I don't get blocked now.

You'll probably find that your old host is blacklisted becuase of unsuitable content of other websites on their servers.

Thanks spooky, your work will be honored.
I had to think a little before changing the MOUSEOVER-thingie, because it's more complicated thatn it looks. There were parse errors all the time. But I fixed it now.


Some future updates :
- more pages in 4 languages (will come with the time, but some are allready 80% made)
- guestbook (allready finished, but will only get it online after a special event)

Yeah, updated my site once again.

As I said some more pages are in 4 languages, yippee !!!
My guestbook is finally open.
A whole new CSS system is working on almost every page (expect in some parts of "about me" and the "picture" section)

New step : Getting rid of the "link" Category

Every link will be placed in the matching category. Why would a guy who searches for games want to see links to Carnival-sites ... That's why I get rid of that part.
By the way, the spawns of my sites are now placed in "about me"
