Great site. It's clean, the colors are good and your verbiage is very lively. Branding your server offering was a cool idea. Are you planning on branding a look for your servers too? That would help your site with some nice graphics. The only two things that might be areas of concern are:

-It may be prudent to avoid anti-MS sentiment in your website. Linux stands firmly on it's own merits and a negative sell evokes a negative response. Migration is a business decision and not an emotional one.

-Always be wary of companies without an address/ telephone number. I'm sure you have plans, but just a gut reaction.
