closing account

I used a promo to get a cheap one year account with Dreamhost. Although I am so far very happy with the service, I probably will switch to another host at the end of this one year because the full price is too expensive for my site.

Can I give notice now when I still have 10 months to go? Or do I wait? If so, for how long?

I am not familiar with US laws but in my country (The Netherlands) you normally would have to give some months notice before you could end a contract.

You can close your account at any time within Panel:

Manage Account > close this account




How To Install PHP.INI / ionCube on DreamHost

Just set your Billing *not* to auto-renew. It's a little different than when I last looked, but it's in the panel under Billing -> Manage Account.

Thanks, both of you. My account now says: "AutoPay is currently disabled " Is that what you meant?

Yep. That should do it. You'll probably still get billing notices (at least when your year is up), but your credit card won't get charged.
