I started my first hosting company in 1998. Here recently I decided to start another one. In 1998 it seemed a lot easier to get new customers, get top 10 listings, etc.

In this startup it has been hard to get new customers over the Internet. I tried a few things. Offering a 20% off sale. Giving away 6 months FREE hosting when people buy three years hosting, but this has not gotten me new customers so far. The majority of my customers are either from word of mouth or just people who have been doing business with me for the last 10 years.

I remember that I used to register a lot of domain names. Then I would upsell hosting. Pretty soon I started getting a good amount of hosting orders. I decided here recently to start selling domain names. Before long I will be implementing this. I will be using plesk billing and registering domains through one of the companies that I can use plesk billing to register with.


MOD NOTE: If you want a review of your site, please post it in the appropriate forum.

If clients are not coming to you then you should go the clients. Reach them. Think creatively. Think who is in need of hosting. Where can you find such people. Don't think always in terms of online methods. Think of off line methods too. Identify potential clients, contact them, convince them and then deal!!

One of the easiest way to attract customers is to give them a good reason to signup with you. You can offer extremely competitive prices, maybe even cut into your profits to build up a client base.

That did not make any sense. What portfolio are you talking about? Do you mind being a little more descriptive?
