I have got all of the major things out of the way and opened the doors, getting a few customers here and there but nothing huge.
So now of course I want to get the word out.
I am fairly certain overtime I will get good word of mouth,
but need advice getting to that point.

A little background info..
Reasonable prices, very competetive I think.
Good sales and support, ticket system, email and 800#.
Most everything that can be setup instantly is.
Dont offer any bs like :sickface: this or that.
If you can think of any key points Im missing, point them out.

I have hit a few host indexing places such as hostindex and tophosts.
Whats some other effective ways to get my name out there without breaking the bank?

Dont hit a few host index's, hit a lot. It will take a while, and it is effective. Just remember to keep a log of the sites you submit too, so that later on you can update easily without missing any.

Just a first few things I saw: the "Why choose MyNewHost?" pic links to your URL: http://www.mynewhost.com/

I would use real text in hosting.php, helps with d/l speed and search engine indexing.

The Domain Search page, I would make the fonts bigger, but your taste.

And the Search page is empty.

Beyond the above, the site by itself seems prty good!

Edit: To make it relavant to your question, think of your site as the key to your advertising campain

Good luck,
Douglas

Submit to search engines...
You could also buy targeted/untarget visitors in bulk pretty cheap (not so cheap for the target visitors...)

Hope this helps.
