New webhosting company, good deals, hard time getting customers? Help

I recently went into web hosting, but I'm having a hard time getting customers. I am offering pretty much the best deal I can without running into a defesit. I have done plenty of advertising online, but my only current customers are people that I did design work for.

Here is the website for reference

Ok this was in my mind a few months ago before I started something new. Now I'm not following up on it so feel free. I have deliberately omited a few things but that's what the power of thinking for yourself is for.

Who are you trying to market to? Well let me ask a few questions and see if you can find an answer. Who on the net today needs more than one site hosted? Not companies, they are happy with one and basic hosting, change is something people don't like and companies more than anyone, yime is money.

You need to think mass market, if someone has 1 hosting account you might save them $10 a month, what if that person had 100 or 1000 accounts? Well saving them money would be much more beneficial, now look around and try to see the demographic of customer who would have multiple accounts.

Would it be affiliates???

Now how to market to them? Well there are (literally) 1000s of forums dedicated to affiliate marketing. Each and every one of these would be open to earning some money through advertising. This is the part where you should look for the answer yourself, I certainly don't mean banners or text links ........

 

Three things:

1. Free template from hostgator is a real turnoff
2. You need an actual homepage- that's what gets people. Having the support page as a homepage is a total turnoff for prospective customers
3. your domain name isn't that great for a hosting company- right now I would think it was geared towards doing designing then hosting people, not a hosting company

 

ok, thanks, i will work on those things

 

You must be uniqe! My first webhosting company was worse, because it was too standard. Think about new things. Things what nobody else offers. It's hard, there are many other hostings.

 

Join some affiliate networks, you'll have an army of affiliates to advertise your site..

 

Do you try to promote it at other place?
You should promote it at DP or webhostingtalk coz its one of the world largest webmaster place.
And for starting,you should give out some free hosting to let your potential customer feel the specialty of your hosting
