Does that mean that your best option is to stay with your current provider and convert your "personal" site into a "business" site, paying whatever it is that they're asking, just to maintain existing links? Or will that even happen?
Oh dear no... No need to convert to business. When I move to a different location, if it is web hosting vs. image storage (Photobucket and the like) my domain name transfers with it and it is sort of like moving. You pack up your stuff, take it to a new house, do a change of address, and done. All of your stuff is there, and because you did a change of address, people know how to find you... You just have a different house to hold you "stuff"...
