Hello,

I am building a site together with a friend. We want to start or own hosting buisiness. Almost everything is up and running now, just a few more things and then we can start promoting. Now is my question, how do we promote a hosting buisiness. Well, what's a good place to start. In the future we also want to build websites for our clients. First we just want to start with hosting.

We got this offer for a free website with 100mb and 1 gig traffic to lure our customers our way. Tho, don't know where to advertise with it.

Anyway, some tips are very welcome.
 
best way is join top 10 ranked hosting forum, Make some valuable post there , then share your offer with them. You will get rush of sign up
Enjoy
 
wooSj,

Unless there is something I'm missing, you would promote it in the same way you would promote any other business. Rohitseth's idea is a good start. Find a forum where there is a section for web hosting (like on BHW), put a link to your offer in your signature, and then start being helpful to the members there. Find other forums to do that on as well.

You could also post thoughtful comments on related blogs (i.e. web development, marketing and seo related blogs or anywhere where there would be people interested in hosting). You could also do some PPC advertising with your offer attached (make sure you develop a good landing page).

Create social media profiles and a blog for the business and start generating content on a weekly basis and sharing it across these networks. Try and build these networks out so that you can get your stuff in front of some eyeballs. Make some compelling videos and share those on the networks as well. Make as much of a buzz as you can.

I started, brought SSL also but couldn't continue for promoting...... And hosting is very competitive so you have to work hard for that. Best of luck.
 
Be aware of Hosgator because they eat up competation... kidding... all the best for you
