Of course you can change DNS setting any time with your domain name registrar. this part is not an issue. Issue is, that unless you own very simple sites, it could take a while to move your entire site over to another webhost. If you happen to have interactive sites, such as forums, then you will need to move your databases and there will be a lot of setting up to do before your site is fully functional on new servers. besides - a blow from Servage will come when you least expect it. You will likely not have another simultaneous hosting account set up while you're hosting with servage. Trust me, unless you have just some simple sites of 3 pages with non script html code, it will take you a while to set everything up on new servers.
But then again, why should I bother to explain to someone who knows better. Do I really need to put up with this shit? We live in a free world. You do as you please. I could care less whether you think that I'm talking out of my ass or not. Now go fuck yourself, Servage user...

Mate, stop talking like spiegelau. I don't want to hear about they and them and the others and bolt of lightnings and undefined antecedents.
State facts, and preferably, measurable facts.
I said they work fine and have worked fine. You said my site is "probably too small". How small would a site be that'd be too small ? Or are you just talking ?
I think the entire "steal your traffic" line of argument, is basically you not understand how this internet thing works. "simple sites" bullcrap. I happen to keep backups ready to go. You should too. Why not ?
I happen to have forums, they happen to get a decent-ish ammount of traffic. I also run a wiki, it also gets decentish traffic. Doesn't prevent me from keeping backups. If and when I move, there's not a nebulous "lots of settings". I know exactly what I'm doing, and it's minutes overhead + whatever ftp takes.
Why wouldn't I "likely" have a backup for a 6 dollar service ?! What's wrong with you. It'd cost SIX.DOLLARS. Why not get another ?!
So basically, I don't trust you, I know exactly how long it takes being I did it all myself. Anyway, for your possible enlightment, and maybe because other people are also reading :
Technology is technology. It serves a purpose. You will not pick your teeth with a power drill, and you will not cut a wall with a toothpick. If you have any sense.
Servage is a toothpick. If you understand how such services work, you will get alot of bang for your buck. If you don't, you will cause grief for everybody up and down the line. So let's try and learn how shit works, shall we :
Bandwidth is cheap, servers are expensive. Support is very expensive. If you want to host on the cheap, keep your cpu use to a minimum and don't need support.
If you want to run complicated stuff, process images on the go server side, hog resources, by all means, get your own dedicated box. It's best for you and it's best for the poor host. If there's "complicated settings", by all means, get a support-oriented host, maybe even one that runs videochat coding class. You'll need it. These are all viable, usefull services, but not everybody needs them. The people who don't need them don't go out of their way to pay for them.
