I have been writing articles, tutorials and guides for well over a year now. For the most part, I believe I’ve done pretty well for myself. I’ve been carried by over a dozen different Web sites. With my Web site and blog combined, I get at least 500 folks going through my personal pages daily. It is time for a new challenge though.

I have sat on this idea for well over six months now, trying to measure the advantages with the disadvantages. Luckily, the advantages have won so I am making it official.

Mitch Keeler is starting to write his first book.

Right now I am still in the planning stages. Honestly, I have yet to even come up with a name. From now till the date it is done though, I will keep everybody updated on the matter here at my blog. As far as the subject matter goes, it will be about the wacky world of Web hosting. If you have read any of my previous articles and posts, you can tell this is a favorite muse of mine. There is so much unknown by the average user these days that stays unknown. Hopefully I will be able to write a book for your average Joe or Jane on the street so they too can understand what Web hosting is.

The majority of the book will be myself explaining the ins and outs of the Web hosting business, along with a few short funny stories I witnessed first hand during my career as a Web hosting lacky. I do believe it will be something worth reading.

So let me know what feedback, thoughts, and anything else you might have in mind for me during my writing process.

This was part three of a three part article series I did for Lockergnome’s Web Developers. The reason for the articles was that I had a few people wanting more information after I had previously written about the diffrences (shared, reseller, dedicated) between Web hosting plans. Enjoy!
