We've only just launched and are still working out some kinks. I'd love to get some feedback on Mediapig as a whole. Would you buy from us?

There is little information about what you are offering on your website, and certainly not enough to come to a purchasing decision. If it's behind the registration wall: While I might be interested in a new VPS provider, nothing on your main page compels me to register.

Great feedback - Thanks. We'll work on updating our landing page to explain our offerings better. Keep an eye on over the next few weeks if you're not yet convinced into moving.

Need more information. Pricing Information? Uptime page? Forum? Also why co.uk? Would buy if more information was listed. Also whom is the VPS's Backbone?

Thanks for taking the time to feedback justfane. We'll work on getting that information clearer for you. We've worked a great deal on providing clear pricing but we'll look at communicating that better on our landing page.

From the landing page, I don't see any reason why I should choose you vs one of the established offers.

Especially since I only know that your cheapest offer is relatively expensive, but not what it actually offers (No, you don't get an e-mail adress from me just to figure that out).

Show your "magic" features, with videos/screenshots/demos, not just icons for them.

Okay thanks Detaro!
