Example:

I signed in October of 2004. I can understand a host being mad if I left them a few months after signing and being with them. After they invested so much in technology for me to host with them in hardware, etc to leave them after only a few months would be understandable if they were mad. I think this is why hosts have contracts. I understand why... No problems there. They need to protect their investments.

But for these one year contracts to "auto renew" every year from the day you signed is what disturbs me. I informed them 3 years and 1 month after the day of signing I wanted to leave and would be leaving. To enforce this 1 year contract rule on me over 3 years later is nothing more than a shakedown.

Only to learn that if I had decided to leave them 3 weeks prior in October 2007 RATHER than November 2007 I would have saved $9000.00
