I'm envious you manage to launch new websites this quickly. Well done. I like the idea. It can definitely work. Nice short domain name. Did you spend much on it? Also, I'm surprised you have pagerank 5 so soon after launch. Could you kindly share some of your strategies on this? Thanks Sohaib,

Nice short domain name. Did you spend much on it?

Ultimately we will have to work around issues such as spamming of votes the same way digg and other similar sites do. Thanks Bryan :)

How can people vote in a meaningful way on offers / plans that ultimately are all pretty much the same and haven't yet actually experienced?, plus all that will happen if this ever was used is hosts themselves would 'digg', 'bury' so the actual ranking would be worthless. Nice idea, but has no chance of success Interesting, but the ‘Digg’ idea is pretty useless for web hosting plans.
