Getting ads on search engines
A lot of people who use the internet have used a search engine to find information, a product, or a service. Search engines can also bring in a lot of money for a website. As a hosting company, it's the same. Search engines can bring in a lot of new customers.
To use search engines, a host must be at the top of the search results for popular search terms like "hosting," "web hosting," "shared hosting," and "reseller hosting." But this can be very hard to do because there is a lot of competition for the top ranks for these keywords.
There are two main types of search engine listings. All search engines offer listings where the rankings are decided by a number of factors, such as backward links, website content, inbound links, etc.
Some search engines offer paid listings, where the rank of a website listing depends on how much the advertiser pays either for a set amount of time or every time a user clicks on the advertiser's ad.
Advertising in the Web Hosting Directory
Like search engines, advertising in a web hosting directory can bring in a lot of money for your hosting business at a fairly low cost. If your business provides a good service, it shouldn't be hard to get listed in all of the top directories. However, different directories have different rules for submissions, and some have ongoing requirements.
Overall, many hosting directories let you submit your hosting site for free. This can bring traffic to your site directly and can also improve your search engine rankings, which can bring more traffic to your site indirectly.
Many hosting directories offer paid submissions and/or paid advertising on the website in addition to free submissions.
Cost-per-click (CPC) marketing

Your posts have to be related to what other people are talking about.
Conclusion
