Google adwords is the best but it costs more and i think hosting providers are hard to go with this option unless they have big budgets. The second option that will work best for hosting providers to increase sales are, using forums, easy to advertise and communicate with potential customers.

Hi BillEssley,

Yeah I agree with you. We have seen a lot of growing when we advertise on google. However some clicks can go up to $25 and that really does add up quickly. A good thing to do is to also ask for reviews from your current customers that way they can post on popular hosting websites like this forum.

Try to attract more businesses located in your local market or any areas with a close proximity to your data center, the you'd offer short latency.

Cost of customer acquisition is high with Google adwords.

Try giving out limited free service. This is better than spending money on advertising, which may or may not convert. Spending on resources for a free host is better IMO.
You will have to find your niche, and advertise on forums.
Hunt for customer pain points in blogs/forums, and solve them on your platform. You will have to offer extensively customized services.

The cheaper marketing strategy would be, Make your clients to talk about your host. (Existing clients)

Also add value to forums, advertise in the forums. :)

Hire a great marketing team and step up your SEO game is the obvious choice.

But also try to get involved with industry events if you can, like attending WordCamp, Cloud Expo, Ignite, etc. We always sponsor great events like WordCamp across the country at A2 Hosting. Make friends in the industry and you'll be able to get more clients through referrals.

You can increase your web hosting sales by submitting special offers in web hosting forums, sending newsletters to your subscribers, offering promo codes on your website, posting ads on social networks, etc.

Promotions & sales are the best methods of helping to increase your web hosting sales (that's as long as you promote it properly as well). Things like one-off discounts or special event prices can help a lot to increase sales because people want to save money.

Using forums really? I don't see how posting in web forums will help get customers when mostly users are another IT guys.... or hosting company

if you want to find easier customers with no competition you must find the non-IT business owners

Try to attract more businesses located in your local market or any areas with a close proximity to your data center, the you'd offer short latency.

best answers... LOCAL is always the least competition and the most likely to trust you

more and more datacenters building every day in every city so if you are not focused about local then..... your loss :)

and referral from customer is the easiest (free) advertising

you want to increase sales, you are not alone, there are lots of entrepreneur want to increase their sales.

There are two effective and powerful way to increase web hosting sales - SEO, PCC
yep SEO + PPC best other options I think

but make sure you website looks professional, and has some CTA (call to action) to try and convert the visitors

make your company look active with chat, phone number, social links, recent blog posts, testimonials and other high energy feelings

I believe most people get stuck in finding new people to buy their hosting service. Also, it might be tough for some, but for others it's too easy as they know what strategy best resonates with their targeted customer. Even if you have a great service, this simply doesn't ensure your prospects will reach you without doing much. You need to have clear cut sales message to increase your sales. Below find some proven useful tactics to gain more of the right customers who buy your hosting services.

1) Offer Zero Defect Services
2) Offer Value-added Services
3) Offer Delighted Services
4) Offer Frequent Surprises

How to do that?

For Zero defect services, you can improve your hosting services and ensure customers will only get the best as people today buys benefits rather than hosting. Make sure you meet their wants and offer benefits they might be interested in.

Secondly, you can add value providing several features for free and they are bound to your brand for the services you offer.

Delighted Services simply implies you can make him more happy with your services offering more value beyond his expectation and once he feels good with your services then he suddenly starts to market your services on behalf of you.

And Lastly, if you prefer to surprise him offering good value service in a more frequent way, then that customer is no more your customer rather now he becomes your clients and tries to advocate other prospects in much positive manner for your services.

In addition to that, you can now start marketing your services using various channels such as Google paid advertisement, email marketing, social media marketing, sms marketing along with your brand's unique value proposition(offering some free services or providing some valued services on time, etc). This way, you could not only increase your sales rather see the results you've never expected before.

Good luck with your sales journey! Wish to see you at the top!

Google adwords and facebook groups are the great sources of traffic. You have increase your website traffic from such groups. First you need to go through in depth analysis to collect the data what your target audience. After run a paid campaign to get visitors to your product page.You can use A/B testing method to identify which web pages is performing best so choose it forever.run campaign on different keywords and exime them frequently so that you can learn more thing about your running ad and their impressions.

All above are very great ways to increase your sales. IMO, the best is still build up your brand, let more people to know your brand so that in the long term you will definitely gain from it. If you already have existing customer, dont forget to treat them well and understand their needs so that they stay loyal to you.

That's true for all types of businesses. When you gain customers' trust, you increase their loyalty towards your company and brand. I think the friendly attitude towards the customers, and of course, the good quality of the services that you provide are the two fundamental factors for success and gaining more customers (respectively sales).

I would probably recommend Facebook Adds over google, cheaper and more effective especially if targeting locally.
