Sit down. THing a good business plan and stick to it.
After that just dont lie and start promoting.

If you get your first customers and they are happy then they will make a good review and probably tell others to come..

Word of mouth is the best promotion that you can make

I got many clients through web hosting forums. This is why I love community more than standart adverting with Google or Bidvertiser.

Well I always to write as an user/client:

So I you shoud start offering:

Usual: share hosting - vps.
Nousual: mail - game slots.

Now as a member:

You have to focus in a potential zone, your country, city etc, there you ahve to talk with your friends that recomedn you for those services, and they are gonna recomend you again.

Also offer prices not cheap and not expensive you have to remember that now we have a lot of companies with the same services.

Also your service in diiferent langauges

Word of mouth and making personal connections with people tend to be the best ways.

You kinda have to try very many different things because there wont really be one specific way to get customers. Just keep trying til you see what works for you.

Taking part in forums is a must.

Best way to get your hosting know many people and visit your site than do good Seo by posting good quality and unique content in Article , Press release and blogs you will get good result

Flippa is the best one or you can go after local businesses and offer them a package deal. Simple as that.

Try webhosting forums, there are a lot out there like HD.

Flippa is a place to buy and sell domains and/or websites, not web hosting services. Unless you know something I don't...

forums are the best when starting, then banners and affiliates
