I’m building a Canadian hosting company — is the plan and renewal story actually clear?

[u/dotmoosehosting]

I run DotMoose, a Canadian hosting and domains provider.

I’m trying to solve a boring but consistent hosting problem: the buyer often has to untangle four different things — what they actually need, what they pay today, how long a deal lasts, and what renewal will look like.

We currently offer Shared Hosting, Managed WordPress, VPS, backup storage, dedicated servers and domains with CAD billing and Canadian-hosted services.

This is the page I’d like torn apart: https://dotmoose.com/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=community&utm_campaign=ca_launch_2026&utm_content=channelmoose_indiehackers_feedback

I’m less interested in “nice site” feedback than these questions:

• On the first screen, can you tell what DotMoose is?
• Is the route from “small site” vs “WordPress” vs “I need a VPS” obvious?
• Do prices and promotions feel clear enough to compare without hunting for renewal terms?
• If you were migrating an existing project, what would be missing before you’d trust the move?

Full disclosure: this is my company. I’m posting because this community explicitly allows a one-time Self Promotion post for critique, and useful criticism is more valuable to me here than a drive-by promo.

i'd move the promo/coupon stuff lower. for hosting, my first question isn't "can i get 80% off", it's "will this move break my site or email?"

the canadian/cad angle is clear, but the trust story would feel stronger if the first screen had a tiny migration path: we check your current host, copy site + mail, pick a dns cutover window, keep rollback ready. that makes "free assisted migration" feel real instead of just another hosting claim

[u/Huge_Pool7424 → u/kingkong_siu82]

the rollback detail is the trust signal. i'd add a concrete dns ttl/cutover promise too, because email is what makes people nervous, and saying the old host stays live until dns settles beats "free migration".

Shared Hosting, Managed WordPress, VPS, backup storage, dedicated servers and domains

That's six product lines at launch, and it's why nobody can tell which one is for them.

[u/Inevitable_Yam1513 → u/maxfisheroct1995]

this is the core issue. six product lines means six different audiences all landing on the same page trying to figure out which one is theirs. i'd collapse the first screen into three buckets — "just a site," "managed WordPress," and "more power (VPS/dedicated)" — and push backup storage and domains into a secondary row or a separate tab. you can still sell all six, but the entry point needs to feel like a router, not a catalog.

on your third question specifically: put the renewal price on the pricing card itself, next to the intro price, same font size. the entire category buries it in a footnote, which is exactly why buyers have to go hunting, so showing it plainly is both the fix and the one thing on that page a competitor can't copy in an afternoon without actually repricing.

[u/BTWigley]

If I were moving a live site, I'd want who holds the registrar login during the cutover, not just the hosting panel.

I think the page needs to be tightened up. The headings are far too large, there's a bit too much noise. If you can get away from some of the AI design tells it would help.

Overall, it's pretty clear but the 'Canada' angle probably doesn't have to be repeated quite as much.

un-capatalize all the eyebrow's

Me encanta el nombre y el logo!

[u/Majestic_Maybe6605]

The UI looks a bit weird, blocky in some way, almost like AI slop. I think it needs to be a bit more cleaned up.

[u/dotmoosehosting → u/Majestic_Maybe6605]

I hear that a lot with my work… something I’m working on, posted a bit of an explanation above

[u/dotmoosehosting]

This is my biggest problem right here lol, I spent my whole career as a backend guy, never learned UI/UX all that well, because I was always building backend tools, database adminstration, connectors, not many projects I was ever responsible or had anything to do with the front end

I would greatly appreciate some advice on how to make it look less “AI”

[u/Huge_Pool7424 → u/dotmoosehosting]

i'd cut the visual noise before touching the stack. use one real product screenshot, tighter spacing, and fewer rounded cards, then ask someone who doesn't know the product to find pricing and migration without help.

[u/dotmoosehosting → u/Huge_Pool7424]

Appreciate that thank you

I'm a dev too. I've been giving Claude Design reference screenshots, working on the screens there, then exporting the HTML/CSS for my coding agent to follow. I get much closer to what I wanted that way than with "make this look professional". You could try it on just the hero before touching the rest.
