Be super helpful to your new hosting company and they'll give you beer.
Well, it worked for me. A few months ago, I sort of forced my way into a closed alpha for http://designly.com. They had almost exactly what I wanted, so I signed up to be notified when their new service launched.
But I'm an impatient man.
I figured out who was behind the project and did a little detective work (read: Google) to find other things they were involved in, signing up for those notifications and hoping that they'd see my name alot and think "huh, maybe we should let this guy in?"
It worked!
Not only did they let me in to the closed alpha (or was it beta by then?) they fielded my questions and actually made edits to their code in near real-time on the weekend while I was doing my best to break things.
Rather than seeing me as a pain in the ass, they saw me as an asset helping them succeed. They offered to buy me a beer when I was in town, and then just decided to send me some from 21st Amendment, a beer not distributed to AZ that I'm a big fan of!
So thanks, +Chris Millard and crew at Designly! Your level of customer service is outstanding and I've no doubt you'll go far!
