Far from being just another off topic service, in a world filled with them, the new Web Hosting Show Coupons and Deals page will deliver, and impress you.  This was a quick project I cooked up over the weekend, to better serve the public at large by delivering a better way to keep track of the latest coupons, deals and special offers from the entire web hosting world out there.

Point your browser towards: http://www.webhostingshow.com/coupons/

Once you navigate yourself to the web site, you can browse through 15 of the most recent offers that have been featured, as well as get a little description of what the offer is all about.  Then I try to link back to the source, so you can get instant gratification in the quickest way possible.

So what am I going to give away this year? Well since we had such good luck with giving away one free hosting account the year before, I thought this year we would do the same – but on a much bigger level. That is right, I am going to be handing out even more free Web hosting accounts.

This year’s big sponsor of the free hosting plans if Plzhost.com. They have offered up the following:

Disk Space: 200 MB
Bandwidth: 10 GB

They want to give away two free plans for life and three plans for six months of free hosting. On the six month plans – after the six months is up you will get $1.00 off the monthly fee or the yearly fee.

Want your own free Web hosting account? Just drop me an E-mail and let me know why you like the Web Hosting Show! Could winning something be any easier?

Mitch is a “self-proclaimed” web hosting guru, but his only credential seems to be that he has “worked in several hosting companies”. The content, although is web hosting related, is not really technical, which might hardly interest all the software engineers and system administrators out there.

What really annoys me is repeated trumpet blowing like “one and only one voice of web hosting world”, “I am web hosting industry media rockstar”, etc. Hmm. I know it is really surprisingly the only one I can find, but I found it is just way too much to be professional. Maybe it is just something distinctive which his audiences love.

A little harsh I might say, but for me any feedback is good feedback?

FastServers.Net have been brought on and are now providing me with a server to host the number one Web hosting podcast out there today on. Hopefully in the future this machine might even be home to a few other hosting projects as well. (Don’t let me get ahead of myself though)

FastServers.Net is by far the leader when it comes to data centers out there today, so it just tickles me to be able to associate myself with him. Web Hosting Chat, which has been my major supporter for the year and a half is staying on a supporter (still giving me that forum space!). I think it is save to say though that FastServers.Net would be considered the new major supporter.

While I am in a thanking mood – I would like to thank everybody in general in the Web hosting industry that has supported my dream via the podcast. Who ever knew that one guy from Texas could draw all this attention just by helping people figure out what Web hosting is all about.

Now what does all this butt kissing mean for you and the Web Hosting Show? Well it means that you will be able to listen to the show week in and week out for a while longer. I would be happy as heck if I could be doing my 200th or 2,000th episode associated with FastServers.Net.

I’ll have a little more news on next week’s podcast – so stay tuned for more.

The Web Hosting Show bills itself as “the one and only voice of the Web hosting world.” Produced by Mitch Keeler, it is a podcast dedicated to the new Web hosting consumer. The Web Hosting Show is an excellent resource for the inexperienced small business or hobbyist who wants to learn how to build and host a Web site quickly and efficiently. This site is must to bookmark, or to subscribe to vis-a-vis RSS.

Too bad he doesn’t seem to keep this blog updated anymore, it looks like he would have a lot of interesting things to say. Here is one more quote, this time it is from the directory Web page over at WebHostingFinds.com:

Mitch Keeler’s Web Hosting Show is the “voice of the web hosting world, the Internet’s “only web hosting podcast” where web hosts and web hosting customers can get help, news, information and commentary. If Mitch’s podcast is not the only show for the web hosting community, it certainly is the one with the most flair and enthusiasm–a definite web hosting find.

They love me! They really love me!
