3) learn all about server side issues;

People always go for special offers with a good price.
the biggest problem is getting people to buy your hosting.

forums like WebHostingTalk.com are good for advertisers.
but when you start posting on the forum of another webhost, you will only get in a bad daylight.
people will think the webhost made that offer, they didn't but say yes and get your costumers

Advertising ?

Web hosting is a very price sensitive and "what have you done for me lately" type of business. Not only do you have to match your competition on price, but also on features, support and reliability. The only way for a small host to succeed is to build a close knit community out of your customers and provide them with excellent service.

OK,

Here is the best advice I can give you... 1) Yes go ahead and register on search engiens but unless you are offering something totaly new and unique that people are searching for you will not get alot of traffic if any from this. 2) Come up with descriptions of your packages and plans and weed it down to a decent size that even the shortest of attention spans out there will read it all. 3) THe most success I have found is advertising in your local area first and also finding hosting review or web developer review forums and help people there and one in a while post a ad about your services. This does work! Make sure you follow the rules though and dont SPAM. 4) The best cheapest way I find when running your own company is BUY your own servers and RUN your own lines. This is a definate plus... you can upgrade machiens as needed and you are not at the mercy of another company or ther then your internet providers .

Don't get suckered down into proving everything for $1 is my advice

Hi there,

What I think is important apart from the things you mentioned above are how to advertise your site and how you increase your Page Rank in Google.

A large number of web hosting companies spend thousand of dollars per month for advertisements in forum, web hosting directories, magazines, etc and some only try to be part of a forum and community to advertise their site.
Making a good offer to the customer is one of the marketing plan, however, if you do not advertise it, how do the customers know about your offer?

Page Rank is also an important parameter in Internet Marketing. Anybody has brilliant suggestion to increase the page rank besides the link exchange idea and advertisement idea?

I most welcome any good suggestions on my above comment.

Regards,
