    I have recently opened my own web hosting company. Much dedication and hard work was put in. The design was customized by me. Site is only about 2 weeks old and I've been promoting it anyway I can. What are some ways I can promote my host a little more?

    Also, how are these stats for a host company 2 weeks old?

    
Unique visitors	   Number of visits	Pages         Hits   	Bandwidth
498                    2018            50284        113024       544.03 MB

    Honestly, I would remove the clicksor ads from the front page and move your hosting plans to the top. Put the paid plans on the top under the menu and put your free plan underneath those.

    Monetizing the site through ads for weight loss, etc... takes away from the focus of your business - web hosting.

    Also try to promote it through other forums. Make coupon codes and put them on coupon sites. Get into some of hosting comparison websites also.

    Also remove the 'website under construction' from the recent news.

    Just my .02 - I don't have a web company but I have used many.

    I think if you do not know much about seo, you'd better hire one seo to promote your business.

    Looks good. Consider joining an affiliate network and have affiliates promote it for you.

    Customer service is also very important,especially for some small companys.If your old customers are satisfied with you,
    they will naturally help you spread your brand.Then the group of customers will grow larger and larger.

    How about running some type of a contest?

    The viral effect should create a buzz and more customers

    All the Best
