What kind of feeling will obsess you if you come upon a website inviting you to relax and contemplate the sea in front of you? Boundless blue, glittering sunshine and waves urging you to jump in?

The idea of website developers is to test whether computer users are able to forget about the keyboard and the mouse and to be absorbed by the immense beauty of the landscape, for at least 2 minutes.

The cheap web hosting site is carrying the users away to an incredibly tranquil place in the ocean. The clouds, illuminated by the sun rays are floating down the sky. If the user hits their keyboard or mouse, they fail the test, as the web developers have put a timer to count down from two minutes.
The web hosting delight is created by Alex Tew, the man behind the website Million Dollar Homepage, launched in 2005. The page is divided into 1 million pixels and each is sold for $1. The new web hosting wonder is supposed to be an exercise in relaxing and to lead the users to escape from the digital reality, to which they have become addicted.


In an interview for TechCrunch, Alex Tew confessed: "I had been thinking how we spend every waking minute of the day with access to an unlimited supply of information, to the point of information overload". Cheap web hosting post on his account at Tweeter says, that the average length of time people are managing to spend in front of this beauty of nature, without touching their favourite PC accessories keyboard and mouse, is only 58 seconds. Until 24 January, 129,000 visitors have expressed their approval for the website, thus accepting the proposal to do nothing for two minutes.
