Revive old Product Hunt listing?

https://hyper.host

Hey guys! Hope your all well and making lots of money :) I wanted to see if anyone had any tips with Product Hunt, i listed my startup https://hyper.host early on (around 2 years ago) but it never really got any votes or a chance to be featured. Looking back on it i posted it at the wrong time of day etc which i really regret now.

Have any of you had the same issue? Any tips on getting it re-surfaced? My product is in a really good place code and feature wise, i just need a traffic boost to get a flow of customers in.

This is the listing as it stands atm https://www.producthunt.com/posts/enhanced-cloud-hosting

Thanks in advance for anyone who takes the time to read this.

    Thanks guys for the responses, based on that ive actually just posted my WHMCS module as a seporate product, although it runs on my startups api so kind of side promotion i guess :) Hopefully it will gain a bit of traction, i think ill slowly launch the parts of Hyper Host (API etc.) and see how they go over time

    You can definitely post again. Also, I think the uptime guarantee is very important to people considering a new host, so I would also put that uptop.

    I've noticed some folks in my niche re-posting their stuff every few months and they never seem to get much additional lift. Perhaps they are still posting at the "wrong" times, but I think a lot of it has to do with not having any existing users willing to up vote, and not doing anything significantly compelling to their product since their previous posting that would get people excited.

    That said, I've been involved with quite a few feature drops on PH (there may be a better term for it, but I'm referring to hunting new features to existing products). That's always been moderately to decently successful, often times due to reaching out to users to up vote.

    With that, I've never attempted to resurface an older post, but could see hunting some new offering / features as potentially giving you the boost you're looking for.

    Also, any way to market to your existing customers to see if you can get some upgrades from them or possibly offering them some sort of referral credits for driving sign ups? Your current customers are usually some of your best, so always good to try hitting them up.
