Depends who you're aiming it at, I guess, but a couple of things stood out.

One is that you jump right in with "directory", "listings", "hosting" and things like that - not everyone knows internet stuff, so that could be a bit of a turn off.

Also, never use multiple exclamation marks if you want to be taken seriously. Likewise, don't put words in stars (*FREE*), it looks tacky.

My opinion would be to be less detailed and techy. Don't sell your service, sell how it benefits your client.
