    Man why did you pick such a competitive market, people are giving away hosting just to fill up so they can resell.

    If you really want to make a go as I have had ten sites that I have sold, then you all the tactics. I used to use ebay but that is ate up now so don't even try there, you may get one or two a month if your lucky but with all the reseller selling reseller accounts makes it hard.

    First off seo of course, you have to start with the basic, but ppc is the most common method although you really need keywords that are not saturated and you can get cheap.

    I will revert back to the number one method now and that is backlinks. You need alot of good backlinks. Do you have your link in your signature if you do I didnt notice it.

    Good luck and Im sure alot more will give you advice.

    Do you have a special niche within the offshore hosting realm that you can promote?

    Basic mantra to success is:
    1) Advertise through Google Adsense.
    2) 24X7 Live support.
    3) No downtime.

    i think SEO, link exchange, not work. you can try PPC. it is best idea. you want to give unlimited bandwidth, to attract more no. of visitors.
