Looking at my accounts, though, I find that one runs through May of 2010, and the other through October of 2010, so it may be a bit before I actually make a switch. But I want to be sure, before I switch, that I only have to do this one time!
Most hosts will accept cancellations on a 30 or 90 day basis, depending on their billing cycle. Are you looking at your agreement with the hosting service or at the expiration date of your domain registration? These are two very different things.
You will probably want a few months overlap between the two services so that you can migrate at your leisure. AT the time of your switchover you will want identical websites on both services to give you continuity of presence as your new IP propagates through.
My $10/month hosting service (1and1) includes three domain registrations with the $10 plan. So when I migrated to a new host I just had 1and1 take over as my registrar too. That saved me money over having to pay for a separate registration. Then I simply informed my old hosting service that they were history.
