Tired of trying to delete an online account but it doesn't just go away.

Try these direct links to delete from the following sites:

Amazon

Audible
Amazon's arm for audiobooks has an Account Details link on every page. Click it, verify your password, and look for the Make Changes to My Membership link. The next page is where you change the type of membership you have, but if you scroll down you'll see a Cancel Membership Plan link as an option. This won't appear if you've already tried to cancel the account at some point.

Blockbuster
Sign in at Blockbuster.com and select My Account. On the left-hand side you should see a Cancel link.

Ebay
To close an eBay account altogether, visit the Close my eBay Account page.

iTunes
What you can do is make sure that no credit card is associated with the account, so that future purchases are impossible. Open the iTunes application, go to the Store menu, select Sign In or View My Account (depending on whether you've used the account recently), sign in, click Edit Payment Information, and select "none" next to credit card. After that, you need to contact iTunes Store Support via the contact form to cancel.

There's an Account link at the bottom of most pages at Live.com, visible after you sign in. This page lets you edit your contact information, passwords and security questions, and more. At the bottom under Additional Options, you'll see the link for Close Account. If all goes well, you'll enter your password and that's it.

Yahoo
First, cancel any premium services with the company, such as Web hosting or selling. You'll find that on the Yahoo Billing Information page. After that, visit the Account Deletion page. You'll get a long page that spells out how this affects access to Yahoo services, and a notice that deactivation and deletion can take as long as 90 days, which Yahoo claims "is necessary to discourage users from engaging in fraudulent activity." And by canceling, someone else can come in and sign up using your old ID, though they won't be able to access any of your old data, of course.







Hopefully you'll be deleted.

Web Hosting on the Cheap

In the past I use to recommend www.Godaddy.com has a great site for hosting solutions. But like every other hosting sites, eventually they get popular and prices go up. This is where it pays to find alternate hosting sites and shop around for freebies that most sites charge you extra for. At Host Monster they give you extra perks that might make a difference when money is tight.
