Thanks for all the input folks. I'm grateful for what looks to be a good solution all round.
I'm not familiar with HostGator. The guy that I've used for many years has been great. I wouldn't be leaving if he wasn't shutting that part of his business interests down.
I'll be in touch Hartmut. Thanks again. Cheers!

Hi all, but especially Ian,
I am local, and a MUUG member since about 1988, and a small-time Winnipeg schmuck who might be able to fill your need. Phone me anytime (like right now) - 24/7 is safe for phoning. My official hosting offerings are shown at (lowest price is $4 per month):

Unfortunately, while the desire to support someone locally is good, even if I were still in business as a service provider, I would tell you in good conscience to take your business to one of the many, MANY nearly-free website hosting operators out there.
Even GoDaddy (who I don't normally trust to even execute 1+1=10 correctly) offers basic website hosting for $5/month.
HostPapa (canadian) are $4/month.
There's also (still in Canada) iPage, iWeb, SKGoldHosting, BlueBirdHosting ($0 !?), ToonieHosting.ca... just make sure you do some research and make sure your chosen hosting partner isn't complete and utter garbage.
I'm guessing you're with HostGator right now, based on your nameservers. Obviously you're not happy with them, which ... well... doesn't surprise me.
I don't think (but I could be wrong) that anyone local will even come close to touching $5/month for hosting a website. Especially if you need to transfer the domain name, too.
