Depends on how much the monthly bill is, and how "nice" the host is in keeping the lights on for a given customer.
Simply "walking" from a hosting account is bullshit, and costs the host money. Period.
Cancel prior to your next billing period (or per the terms of service you agreed on), and there should be no issues, or legal liability, on either side.
If someone just "walks" from one of our accounts, they have already cost us one month's service before we even know they are late. By the time we go through the collections process, this can either mean one month of service is still due - or more if we had previously had a long standing business relationship and I held your service suspension out of good will. 60-90 days of service is not completely out of line for some customers who we do not shut off immediately.
I have to admit, in this industry I have become less and less likely to do the latter - even when begged to. Been burned far, far, too many times.
Mainstream clients tend to have a much better default rate than adult, it's simply a mathematical fact at this point. And as such, we now must treat accordingly.
Just my two cents on that part of it. Not weighing on on any other issue here.
