    Getting clients for web hosting service can be challenging since pricing is competitive you can start with good affiliate network.

    Advertise your website on the Web. If you have enough budget, buy google ads and post your ads on facebook. Apply seo techniquies to your site.

    Do you offer an affiliate program???

    Let others do the work for you! If you're willing to share a portion of the income generated from new clients, affiliates are always looking for new opportunities to make money. Search the Internet and you'll find tons of "web hosting comparision" sites. If you provide an affiliate program you're likely to get listed since these websites all profit from affiliate programs.

    The advantage of affiliates, is they're experienced with SEO and know how to marketing your product. They'll give you the exposure you need, but you'll have to pay for it. The good thing is, you only have to pay for new leads / sales.

    Try looking up a SEO basics article and website, learn the very basics, then implement them. Come back to the forum if you get stuck.

    Get sales (initially): cost less and promote this through e-mail (rent a list), offer your service to well known bloggers and marketers, join an affiliate program

    Get clients (and keep them): be up 24x7, answer every support call quickly and be nice

    Happy times! :)

    Since webhosting is a competitive niche these days, try to use paid advertising first so people will get to know your site.. you have to take out money first but time will come that you'll be able to get it back on hundred folds if you'll back it up with the right marketing methods

    Testimonials might work well for this.
    Advertise and get your name out there. Advertise like any regular site.

    one example is to lower its price plan by providing promo codes for DP members. Through this, you gain clients and sales.

    DP is the best place to promote your servers, I suggest you to create a special offer exclusively for DP members. Coz almost all the users here are webmasters.

    You can also search for individuals that are offering solo ads. Just in case you do not know what that is, a solo ad is when you purchase an email blast from someone that has an established customer list, and the list manager or owner then sends your offer to his or her subscribers in an attempt to generate business for your product or service.

    A lot of good answers. All in all, do your best to provide really good service. This will get people talking and they'll refer you to others. There is no better selling tool than a recommendation from someone that has had a good experience with you.

    In a nut shell, sales are tranferance of your feeling to the buyer, how excited are you that the product you are selling will help your customers. If you are not honest to yourself it will be sensed by your buyers, you may sell a couple but nothing lasting.
