With this being my 100th post on Mitchelaneous, I figured I should do something special. So here it is! Take two, or beta two of my Web hosting radio show. I cover a few headlines, a few ideas, a few things that are going down in my own professional life as well. The unofficial voice of Web hosting? You be the judge!

Radio Show’s Transcript:
Hello, I am Mitch Keeler, the unofficial voice of this Web hosting broadcast. I am here to talk about one thing, and one thing only… the wild and wacky world of Web hosting. If you have any thoughts, suggestions, comments or feedback on the show please send them to mitch@mitchkeeler.com
Is it true that a Web hosting company would be giving away their product? Now I usually stay away from junk like this, because that’s what it is, junk. Well this time around I could be wrong. Why? The name behind it is 1&1 Web Hosting. One of the world’s largest Web hosting companies. Technically you are only getting a test drive account, but still six months of free Web hosting is something worth looking into.
If we have any Web hosting companies out there listening, Go ahead and cut your domain name prices! It looks like everybody else is! Netcraft is reporting that Yahoo plans on keeping their $4.98 domain name prices for a little longer. The price that was supposed to go back up at the end of December, is now running till February 8.
The issue of Ping! Zine (a Web Hosting magazine) that I have an article featured in, should in my hands in a few weeks. I’m currently working on a new article for the next Ping! Zine issue right now. By next week sometime I should have a little more information on my Web hosting book I finished up a few weeks ago. I can’t wait to get this thing out to the public as soon as I can to hear what people have to say about it.
I have two interviews coming up next week sometime with two movers and shakers in the Web hosting world. Jonathan, from the Startup Blog and Pinny from BrowseHosts have agreed to answer a few of my toughest Web hosting questions. Both should be fun to talk to, and make for some interesting reading for all of you.
From the feedback I have received so far, I really think there is an audience for a Web hosting radio show out there. In the next few weeks I might shop the idea around to a few bigger folks in the Web hosting world to see if anybody is interested in picking this idea up and running with it. Well, that is as long as they keep me around for the ride…if they don’t keep me, then they don’t get to keep my idea. Ha!
Well that is it for this week. Please keep sending me your comments, feedback, suggestions and ideas to mitch@mitchkeeler.com. If your listening to this on my blog, then please feel free to leave a comment or two as well. This has been your weekly dose with Web hosting’s voice, I am Mitch Keeler.
