> You can sign up month-by-month for the same price as if you signed up for twelve years at once. When looking for a new web host, keep in mind contracts. I refused to switch somewhere that wouldn't let me at least pay quarterly -- a "trial period" would only cost me three months and ~$20, as opposed to paying a full year up-front and being stuck with that host for better or worse. I was happy to see TCH let me sign up for just one month, with no contract. I stayed with them after my trial month (only a $4 out if you don't like them) on a quarterly basis.

I'll also mention that they pro-rate the portion of the month you're hosted there -- so I only paid $1-something when I first signed up. It was great. ;)

They are also exceedingly friendly on the support forums, and they keep very up to date on server switches, etc.

TOMatt also switched his site there after too long being frustrated by Powweb, and we had another friend switch to TCH after he saw that we were doing well on it. Neither of them have voiced any complaints either.
