What is the best way to get reviews and people testing your new hosting service?

[harrygreen90]

Hi everyone,
I have a new hosting service and It's pretty much done. The sales page is almost done. What I need is testimonials and results from people using it.
What is the best way to get reviews and people testing my new hosting service? So far, I've reached out to members on forums and I would ask what other ways to get new potential customers?

Hello, you can send emails to your existing clients to tell their opinion about your hosting company with a review site link.

Good idea, it is one of easy way

 

[ProResellerHost_Jack]

Good, you've gotten your sales page done, I'm assuming your billing and support portal done.

Now comes one of the most challenging parts, marketing and advertising. You'll want to leverage the free options like posting to social media, posting on forums, engaging in forums.

You may want to look into paid advertising if you're making enough revenue and are looking to bring in more clients.

As for reviews, you can reach out to your current customers to see if they would be willing to submit a review either through a means you have setup or if you wanted to have them post publicly such as here or another forum.

Hope this helps you!

I prefer going with free option.

If you're providing an amazing service, your customers will do all the screaming and shouting for you.

Do you have any existing customers yet?

If not, that's ok, don't put any reviews in place and where the reviews should be leave a link saying "leave your review here".

Not yet, I am asking for new starters.

If you're desperate, you could ask a few trusted members to review your hosting - obviously, you wouldn't charge them as they would be providing a service for you...

its a good idea too

Try to find people that want to write reviews. You could pay them to write reviews.

This is a horrible idea.

You want honest reviews, not paid bs.

I could pay a monkey to sing I'm the king, it doesn't make it true.

Honest reviews - the best ones come when they're not asked for. Sometimes it takes months, sometimes you get lucky and you get one within weeks.

DO NOT pay for a review.

Once client purchase hosting they have some issue or query to make there website live, so try to fix issue and give a better solution. Once you done with it ask for review that the best way to get reviews from client side.

This is a better answer than @JohnWeb 's

Can you do website design? If you can, offer a free basic website design if they host with you and give a review.

It is a good idea but I would offer free web site builder than doing web design service for each customer, that will consume more time.

Try maybe with Google Adwords. Find country where are not alot of ads and try to advertise

Google Adwords seems require more advertising fund to go with, I am afraid I could not have fund to use it.
