ITHost is a website template for web hosting companies, domain registrars and cloud providers, built on Bootstrap 5 with a purple night-sky design and a rocket hero. The layout is responsive and mobile-ready and works in all popular web browsers. It comes with six pages: home, about, services, news, contact and an elements page.
The home page has a hero, a features grid, a domain search, skill bars with a testimonial slider, three pricing plans and a call-to-action banner. The inner pages add milestones and a team section, a mission and vision block with an FAQ accordion, a news page with a searchable sidebar, and a contact page with a working contact form and a click-to-load map.
What’s new in 3.0
Bootstrap 5.3.8 (the earlier release used Bootstrap 4.1.3 and jQuery), compiled from Sass with the theme and the original Bootstrap 4 proportions, and plain JavaScript with no jQuery. Swiper 14 replaces Owl Carousel on the testimonials, the progress rings are SVG drawn with CSS, and npm run build (Dart Sass and esbuild) compiles one minified stylesheet and one script.
New original artwork: the night-sky backgrounds, rocket, logo, blog pictures, server and FAQ illustrations are SVG files that stay sharp on phones, Retina and 4K screens, and the team portraits are new 1200 px photos with AVIF versions.
Lighter pages: all six pages together went from 2.7 MB and 186 requests to 0.8 MB and 110 requests.
No third-party requests: Montserrat is self-hosted, the icon fonts are replaced by Lucide SVG icons and a small social-logo subset (the Twitter bird is now the X logo), and the contact map is an OpenStreetMap map that loads only when a visitor asks for it, with no API key.
Accessibility: a skip link, landmarks, one main heading per page, a keyboard-operable menu button, labelled form fields, visible focus and WCAG AA colour contrast with a slightly deeper brand pink.
Working forms: the contact form sends through an included PHP script with validation and in-page messages, the domain search opens the contact form with the domain filled in, and the news search, categories and tags show the matching posts.
Fixes: unique page titles and descriptions with social-sharing tags, working buttons and footer links, the right icon next to the email address, and typos in headings and links.
