isp change requests
 

never though i might need this service, on looking at the new host, you need to fill out a long form at least 3 dpf's length, with a box at end to explain why you want this and its totally up to the host if the change is granted?

has this always been like this with hosts?

Ehhh no. Usually you call and ask them to cancel - while signing up with whichever new one you want

Are you talking about a simple web hosting switch? Or does your current provider "own" something of yours, like a domain perhaps?

What is a DPF? I googled to find it was part of a diesel cars exhaust system?
