    You need to be strategic and brainstorm. Hosting is a commodity industry and it takes $$$ to advertise

    The cheapest and most effective way to advertise a web hosting service is through web designers. Do you have any contacts of web designers? If you do, propose your service to them and show them what your hosting service has that the others don't, and why their clients should host under you.

    Otherwise, your best bet is through classified ads for the targeted audience.

    Best of luck.
