Shared hosting is the cheapest type of hosting around. It is efficient, and gives you a great amount of disk space and bandwidth for your site. However, shared hosting is not for all sites.

For example, shared hosting can easily be used on a site like this. (This site does not use an extreme amount of Bandwidth and/or disk space.) However, for a site like YouTube that gets an enormous amount of visitors, uses dedicated servers.

Shared hosting is quick, cheap and reliable. In my opinion, the best place to start off with shared hosting is Hostgator. Hostgator is great for starters using Shared hosting. It’s clean, and has a very user-friendly interface. It uses cPanel, which is a great application to manage your files, bandwidth, disk space etc. The cPanel application looks like this. When purchasing Shared hosting with Hostgator, you can enter in coupon codes to get you a little discount. These coupon codes can be found all over the place, but my best suggestion is this website. All of the codes from this website should work, and they are very helpful to save you a few extra bucks. However, keep in mind that if you just want to test if a coupon works or not, and enter it in, but do not use it, it will not work later on in your account. So be sure you have chosen what you need and are ready to checkout before entering coupon codes.

Shared hosting can be registered with many other hosting companies. Most of the hosting companies nowadays use cPanel, as it is very well known and easy to use. There are some hosting companies that do not use cPanel, but I do not recommend them, because when you have shared hosting, and you do not have cPanel, you are going to be in trouble unless you somehow find a big tutorial on using their other application. Hostgator has the cheapest prices of shared hosting out of every single hosting company. I have done research on this, and yes, it is true. I know people who currently use Hostgator to host their websites. Hostgator is great, and there are many companies in competition with Hostgator, one of them is Fatcow, which is also a great company.

A company working through a main hosting provider with a reseller account can be very successful if they incorporate experience and knowledge and use some smart strategies to do so. This would mean that you incorporate tactics like posting your service on forums, using SEO work to get clients, sending email advertisements to good candidates, purchase ads on relevant web sites, and you could even hold special promotions and contests. There are a lot of ways to go about it – be unique – and you can start to get a clientele boom real quickly.

Promoting online will bring you in around 300 to 500 percent more clients than the traditional promotion methods would so it is essential that you do it and optimize it so you see staggering results. You have to find the target audience and advertise to them so you can get a good conversion of interest and see a large client base built rather quickly. It doesn’t really take a long time to get 1, 000 hosting plans sold if you put in the effort.

Email advertising and posting your service on forums is obviously the easiest, effective and free way to go about it and it can target an audience so you really should utilise those things to get further results. Your forum signature should contain your web sites URL and maybe even a contact email – being up front to show you are very friendly with clients will go a long ways. There are a lot of webmaster forums that accept people to publicize their posting companies.

The thing with advertising on a forum is that in a lot of cases, you could have thousands of people who are in that target audience (they see the title, it’s in the hosting section) who are viewing your product and that can definitely turn around to becoming a nice profit on your end. Email’ing possible clients also works very well (sometimes people take it as spam) because it shows your forwardness, that you will communicate well with your clients, and people are likely to forward it to their contacts if they like your service.

You can get a set up of contacts in the targeted audience so you can send an advertisement via email for your service to both single parties and business that have recently been interested in being informed of hosting services available. These lists are a risky investment because you could spend hundreds for 1, 000 emails but it could turn into a nice profit if you get a good conversion rate. The opt-in email lists work great because it is a targeted audience.

The traditional advertisement methods mentioned earlier would be text and banner ads on relevant web sites and this could be inexpensive or expensive but the results will follow. A lot of people overlook ads and it can be a risky investment – the hands on approach is best for those on a bit of a budget.
