Best place to buy advertisements?

Postby Chris Grigg » 20 Apr 2016, 05:49

I'm looking to spend money to advertise my hosting company, USHost247, and was wondering what the best place to buy advertisements?
I have spent $100s on facebook advertising and do not wish to continue with facebook.

I was looking at purchasing ads with BuySellAds on administration/webmastering/hosting forums?

You might wish to contact hosting forum owners directly to see if you can get a better deal (or sponsor a contest which would give you some good exposure). BSA for Admin/Webmaster/Hosting forums could work well. I would probably do a comparison on BSA between the more expensive blogs/forums which are targeted towards web hosting and other sites which are frequently visited by webmasters in need of hosting (e.g. DNS Tool sites/ Webmaster Tool Sites/ Code Pastebins) to see which gives you the best return. The competition on BSA for hosting is huge.... (take sister sites LowEndBox and LowEndTalk). BUT- because they are so targeted, they may be better than sites in this "bargain" list I found: https://www.buysellads.com/buy/bundle/id/13.

Facebook Ads gave holderhost 0 clients.... Did not work at all. :( Adwords would be pretty expensive. If you haven't already, working your way to corporate membership on WHT could be rather beneficial (Premium certainly helped me).

Good luck!

Yes, currently Premium Member at WHT. Corporate is pretty over price for what you get there IMO.
FB gave 0 clients here as well.

Instead of advertising with no orders, a better strategy to get orders for your hosting company would be to offer hosting at a low price. I have a limited budget at present, yet I purchase web hosting regularly for seo and if the hosting company does not give any problems, I will purchase more hosting in future.

Just my thoughts, but if you want to compete just on web hosting it's a blood bath. My suggestion would be to promote something (like a turnkey business) that requires a website as part of the package. Then you don't need to compete with those offering a penny a month or even free websites to snag them. After all, if your prospect is looking for a website host, they are going to Google it and you are going to get beat in many cases. So go for the ones that are Googling some niche with less competition.

We have been in business since 2010 and have a great amount of clients, we are just looking for best places to advertise. Our main focus is actually hosting.
@niche, we offer our lowest cost package at $1.95/month, so it is already very low.

I would advertise on websites that cater to designers, they need places to host.
