Uhm… I think you’d have to cancel your current subscription and hope to high heavens you get some money back. ---

i recommend hostrocket - [http://www.hostrocket.com](http://www.hostrocket.com) they have GREAT hosting from $9.95 US a month, it’s who my site is hosted by. They have really good uptime, and all the bells and whistles you could hope for. ---

you got to cancel your current hosting transfer your firles to your new host and change the dns numbers its a process that takes about 24 to 72 hours so make sure you cancel your current host after your ahve your site up on your new host 😉 ---

but the down fall is that its going to cost me 115 a year, i pay 30 something over at doteasy. All i really want is to get PHP, but its 60 bucks for 6 months. SO if i buy it there, it would be alot cheaper. you see what i mean? ---

alex, go for it, and phil i think your numbers are off i get 400 mb of space and 30 gig transfer there… and they only have one plan or maybe my numbers are off regardless, alex, go to ipowerweb, it will be worth it when your site grows ---

i guess it would be cheaper going to ipowerweb because if i get a forum up for my friends, i would have to keep renewing it every 6 months. So i am still in the thinking process. ---

contact doteasy and ask them if they offer a money back guarantee kind of thing… it doesnt say anywhere on their site ;( \*\ ***edit** if they dont, you can host your forum somewhere else like [tripod.lycos.com](http://tripod.lycos.com) 🙂 ---

i sent doteasy an email, and i told them that i might be swithcing, and if i would get any money back. I also said since i would be leaving because the cost of the PHP was expensive, So i hope that they try to get me to stay by lowering the price. (_im keeping my fingers crossed_) :)😛 ---

Often times the _new_ host will handle all that switching for you and have you live within 72 hrs. (the switch takes place with the registry that registered your domain name)… go look up your domain name then do a _whoIs_ search and all the register info will be there ---
