I have no personal experience with advertising on webhostingstuff but they are a hosting directory so it is a place where people who require hosting go in search of a good host. So it would therefore appear to be a good place to advertise your host as most of the visitors are looking one.

We use Web Hosting Stuff. Anything like this is good. It allows customers to leave reviews and others to read them. It can show uptime as well as your prices and plans.

Free advertising is good advertising. Even if it only brings in 1 client every couple of weeks, it is still worth it I believe.

It's free, so people may as well sign up. Even if they only get one client from it every 6 months. It will also increase google rank.

I have been using webhostingstuff for many years now, you need to have plenty of reviews to make it worth it to pay for their top 10 listing.

The way to do it is to sign up for their account first for free, get the review link.

Than start asking extremely satisfied clients to submit review to your webhostingstuff listing. When you have 20+ reviews from your clients and have five stars ratings for all of them, then list your site on their top 10 and see the good conversion.

Make sure you always put a special offer which beats down the other top 10 web hosts. Something unique and compelling, but not illogical or overselling.

Good luck.

I won't say WHS is a bad place, but the CPC is kind of very competitive in WHS paid advertisement. And most of the hosting provider there are unlimited.

Possibly not the best place. But certainly not a bad thing. You need to do multiple things at once to become known. Don't just focus on free either.
