Default Should a Host Offer a Free Site Move?

Do you think that a free site move from the previous account to a new host should be a part of the hosting package?
Some hosts include it like downtownhost.com, some not (may do this on request or charge money for this, depending on the number of sites).
What do you think might be the best policy here?

I'll say this isn't a ghost post because I'm answering a question.

Yes.
Simply put.

They want your money, and if that's how they get it, then they should go with it.

Downtownhost.com services are really recommended, a solid host with positive reviews at WHT, no wonder they do a site move for free.

Yeah O/C it should be free. They'll just whack the admin charge on you're monthly bill anyhow

Some of web hosts like MMhosting.com offer free domain name renewal as well + $100 credits for advertising - It means they fight for every customer and you can expect for the quite good service.

$100 credits for advertising sounds great. MMHosting.com might provide stable hosting with so many advantages.
By the way prices are low.
As for Downtownhost.com I want to mention their blog hosting services as it's optimized for that.
Their Pre-Installed Script Library is a very useful thing.
