IMO it would be much, much more fruitful if you decided to split the two ventures apart. Some people want hosting, some want designs, some want both... not everyone wants everything. Regarding banners2go's reply to the thread - why on earth would you be so lazy? Ok, so it might be easier for you as an individual to keep your two services together but have you considered the potential advantages of marketing both brands separately (if you can afford it both monitarily and with available time). There is no reason on earth why you can't co-market both services but each must be a recognisable, individual brand (IMO) if you want the best out of the situation. What happens when you want to diversify into yet another area?

Starting a network of co-marketed yet individual brands is the way to go (again totally my opinion!) - you could even start a "2go" group! This way, each brand gets their own client-base but the whole network benefits from cross-advertising.

It's just an idea. The same goes for the thread starter. It is fine to run the two services side-by-side but at least try to use two different web addresses.
