As we enter year six for the Web Hosting Show, both as a podcast and as a website project of mine, I thought it was about time I apologized to you, said the unsaid and give you a look into the year to come for this very website.  It is hard to believe this website has been around over half a decade and let me start things off by saying that I am not going anywhere soon.

The Apology

First, let me apologize for the lack of content in 2010.  I had a big change in my own life when I switched jobs and with that and keeping my other projects up to date, I am afraid the Web Hosting Show got bumped to the sidelines more times than once.  Going into 2011 I have a great outlook for the new year, I am totally recharged and I am really wanting to put a lot into this project and I hope you will join me along for the ride.

The Unsaid that Needs to be Said

Every so often my professional life and my side project life kind of clash, and this podcast might be where that happens the most.  When I started this podcast I was only doing freelance writing at the time, and I thought my career in web hosting was probably said and done with. Things don’t always work out the way we think though.  Since then, I have enjoyed a very prosperous career at both Lunarpages and now Site5.  This website will never be an advertising platform for whomever I work for.  Rather than to tell you, this web host is the best – go with him I would rather teach you what to look for so you can find the best web host on your own. 

Now that is not to say other webhosts are not welcome to be apart of the Web Hosting Show.  I want to hear from web hosts both big and small.  However, from this point on I am more interested in what you have to say and not so interested in delivering a platform for a sales pitch. I think there is an honest and open debate we can have about how best to do this or how that might be changing the world without the worry that somebody is in anybody else’s pocket.  My job here is to help teach you how to fish, not to point you at the fish that will give you unlimited disk space and bandwidth.

The Future

I have spent some time looking long and hard at where I want to take the Web Hosting Show in 2011 and think I have a pretty good idea of how to get it done.  I want to do more video tutorials, more podcasts and more regular content that you can learn from.  I always love to hear your thoughts on what you want to hear, see and read so please feel free to contact me at mitch@mitchkeeler.com with any ideas you might have. 

Before I sign off, I want to thank all of you who have made hosting the podcast and running this website such a delight over the past six years.  Without you, I would have put the nail in this project a long time ago.  You are the ones who keep me going though and keep this website alive.  So thank you for your support.
