How to Marketing Web Hosting Site? Please give me Serious Tips. Where i Marketing My Hosting Site(Not Normal Website)

It is still a profitable business potentially, but unless you can tailor your business to specific group, you won't be successful. It is kind of like people who setup social networking sites without a twist. Facebook and MySpace have a monopoly on the general social networking group. The only social networking sites that are doing well are those that are tailored. For example, those looking for dates, high school students, or i've seen a successful tailored towards those who were born with physical disabilities. Find a niche and go for it. Good luck!

Offer hosting for a special software package. Search for forums that cater to that market and then contact forum owners and make a joint venture deal.
Considering that you are selling web hosting - these forums would be a great place to start. Create a coupon code specific for the DP folks and share it in the web hosting section.
