Hmm I can't actually tell what your site does. Your homepage is a stock vBindex and has no information on any hosting plans you may offer. Also if your forum is a support forum for your hosting how does a shoutbox and off-topic discussion benefit you?

I concur, scrap everything not related to hosting. If you're a hosting company, that should be your ONLY focus. Get rid of the uCash/uShop thing, the arcade thing, all the off topic forums...and scrap the vbAdvanced system. I like it as much as the next person, but it has no place on a simple support forum. Finally, create a set of simple static xhtml pages that would serve as your business front end. I see no reason why vbulletin should have to pick up that role as well. Put some effort into it.

What I wanted to do was make vbadvanced the whole site then have all of my hosting plans and such in there as pages but I don't really know how to get them into vb and have them linked in the nav bar on the left. Could someone please tell me how to do that like on your site, vbcore. Also, I put the arcade, store, and shoutbox on and the members liked it so I left it on but I will probably remove the store and I do have some skins that I will test out and put them up soon. Thanks alot for your help.

Using vbAdvanced to simply plop in static html into "pages" alone isn't worth it's use. I still say stick with static pages for that. Here's a point to consider:

If one sees ten thousand posts on a 'support' forum for a hosting company, it tends to not reflect well. Your goal should be to have such a great service that your support forum has almost no posts at all. Bearing that in mind, the features offered by vbAdvanced offer you no advantage. It looks to me like your simply trying to create a community. The guise of a hosting company isn't the way to do that.
