If you close your account, they will probably give you a refund for the balance not being used and then you can apply that to your new hosting.

While on the subject, if you are in NZ, what's it like for you to view vids from our sites in the US? Have you tried one of my sites? Try http://bf2video.com and let me know what you experience. I'd like to also know. If you have problems with yours then my guess is that ppl from NZ will have problems like you do when viewing my sites?
