problems with my hosting company

I have a $10 hosting account per month. I was a month and one day late on payment because of a paypal error. The jerk who owns it wants to charge me $75, to resume hosting with him. I know I am like his only customer lol. I don't want to pay this, it doesnt make sense. I am missing 8 days worth of email on the server or so due to this right now... if I transfer my hosting will I get that back?
