My usual excuses are: - laziness - fear of the unknown - no time for a big move right now This sort of stuff. :P I ask myself the same question sometimes… My usual excuses are:

Besides, just as every other company out there, Dreamhost often has promotions for new users - so you are probably better off opening a fresh account with N months free and etc. I doubt anyone would be interested in a "slightly used" account.

Why not "sell your account" under the table? I don't have the money, but I am looking for a jabber server... I am sure someone else you know wants a good hosting thing with them, just sell them the rest of your time, move your domain name over, and move a new domain name on this one, noone would ever know you sold it... the billing information would have to be changed over some how... but other than that... This could also solve your problem of breaking even even after paying for a certain amount of time. Oh and I am retrying out flock, I am really liking the new features.

Dreamhost email queues are usually backed up so usually there is like a 1-2 hour delay on the notifications. Sometimes less, sometimes more. Yet another reason why Dreamhost sux. Ah, yes.
