Honestly? Its very boring and plain. I would look for a new design with something with a better user interface perhaps w/ some graphics. It doesn't look professional at all.

Hello -
I've looked at your website and have a few thoughts.
Unlike the previous posting, I like the simple design. It keeps me focussed on the content, rather than being distracted by flashing ads or unnecessary stock photos.
I did notice that you used tables for layout - several tables, in fact. You might investigate converting your pages to a CSS-based layout. CSS provides many benefits: helps with Accessibility issues, lowers the file's size, and allows you greater freedom with design. (Your design is so simple, it should be an easy conversion.) Besides these points, anyone reviewing your coding will think you much more professional: tables for layout are considered sort of amateurish.
One thing I do not like about the design is the way you've coded the "Search" in the right-hand corner. It just sort of floats there. The lack of a border around the box also creates some confusion: this does not look like a standard form field, which might confuse your users.
The other thing that bothered me was
2-loans.com 2-autos.com
in the lower left-hand corner. These links don't look reputable, and sort of cheapen your own service. You might rethink using them.
Good Luck -

on the front page, why do you say "welcome" twice?
you need a little more contrast for the links on the left, and try changing the color of the bullet images
get rid of the underlined '>' at the bottom of the page, web sites are not linear, and should not be designed to be linear
try a subtle gradient for the top image/logo, ala amazon.com, plus the text, "web hosting directory" should be made into a link taking you to the front page.
get rid of the tables, move to a css-based layout....also get rid of the font tags, and start using <h1>,<h2>, and other xhtml-compliant tags.
