Where to find your web hosting clients is the big question. Setting up a reseller’s hosting company, is fairly easy. Coming up with the customers is the hard part.
Sources for potential customers -
1. Search engines traffic to your site (what do you mean you don’t have a site??? you have to have a site for you hosting company!)
2. Online advertising campaigns by either buying banner space on websites, or paying Yahoo or Google to carry your text ads.
3. Offline advertising in newspapers or other publications.
4. Word of mouth - get the word through friends, family, online acquaintences and anywhere you can, that you are in the hosting business.
Be creative and think outside the box. How about letting the people in your mailing group or favorite forums know about your hosting? Or maybe target your local community and post your printouts in the local community center or your church? Clients are everywhere, get them to know you!
