Depends on what âripâ is.
Talking as a designer myself, their design is definitely a 90% copy of your design. They probably hired a designer and said âwe love hivelocityâs design, we want the sameâ. If the designer had some sense, he/she tried to make something unique enough, but the owners kept asking for more changes until they were happy with the design ( == it looks just like hivelocity).
The other scenario is the designer just copied your style, and gave it as a unique design. The owners, not having memorized what every other website looks like, accepted the design, not knowing it was a blatant copy.
Unfortunately even if they deliberately copied it, they will still claim they had no idea it was a copy, and blame the designer for the second scenario.
As for any copyright claim, as long as they have designed and coded it themselves, even if it looks just like yours, itâs not a âripâ in a sense that they stole your code. Since you donât plan to sue them or anything, it doesnât matter.
In short, if hivelocityâs website didnât exist, serverroomâs website would look different . That makes it a stolen design in an ethical sense, if not in a legal sense.
Would love to have you design our main company website. Just cant afford your rates. Your designs are amazing.

Also, Opteron X2150. AlphaRacks $10/year VPS is going to have more power.

As a front end developer/web designer i would say without a doubt they have not ripped anything from the code, probably just the idea and the structure overall.
Probably the founders of the other site hired a designer and told them, dude. âMake me a website better than this⌠but to be similar to it.â
And here it is

If you want it just for webhosting itâs fine. Just place CloudFlare in front of it and youâre good to go. Although with that CPU and 32GB SSD⌠I donât know. It canât run anything. It doesnât have any disk space.
Itâs useless, with or without IPv4 connectivity.
But IPv6-only makes it even more useless
Works out to like $6.50/mo and for that you might as well buy a solid VPS, would get way more performance and⌠everything really.
I think it only has like 10mbps port or something as well, think thatâs what I saw when I was looking the other day.
