Hi,

I will soon be luanching a hosting company and am looking for the most effective/cost worthy advertising or marketing.

Other Webhosts: What do you use?

Webmasters: Where did you find your host? Why did you choose them?

Ad Publishers: What can you offer me?

Thanks,

All input is HIGHLY appreciated!

Personal recommendations, and colleagues. Price is a decision point, but so is the capabilities/freedom on the server.

if you have $5,000 + advertising budget in next 3 months, you can try some hosting directories; most effective if you are don't have an initial user base;

if you have $10,000 + advertising budget in next 3 months, you can try google adwords; it is also effective;

if you have only $1,000 or less advertising budget, advertising has NO meaning; just keet the money to get better servers and lower your price; let customer refer customers and post advertisement in relevent forums.

We ONLY use DUAL XEON servers for our clients.

If you are offering lots of space and bandwidth you might try advertising on hostvoice.com
