Since you are writing technical material (including code), you may have some experience with programming and related technologies. If so, I recommend Github pages.
Benefits:

It's free.
There are several clean templates available.
You have basic markdown (as used here on SE) for the simple styling and HTML for anything more fancy.
It's incredibly flexible because of its simplicity. Anything you can do with HTML and javascript, you can achieve in pages. It should be simple enough to organize a book with an HTML page per chapter.
Code snippets with syntax highlighting are supported by default.
All material is stored in a version control system by default, so you can always go back to earlier versions, or even make a branch if you want to try something that may not pay off. Contrast this with solutions like Wordpress where your content is stored in a database in a difficult to read format, or Medium, where it isn't stored in anything you have access to.
For more complicated things (tagging posts, blog posts sorted by date, etc) there are several Jekyll plugins. You can generate the site offline, and upload the generated site to pages.

The drawback is that you need to be comfortable using git, writing in markdown and using Ruby software.
