I'm going to go with Barefootsies on this one. It all depends on the host and their policies. I've never in all my years in this industry asked a host to move a site for me. I always did that myself because I tend to get unmanaged servers in order to save some money. I then manage them myself. It's not exactly a quick job either to move sites. Sometimes it can take a while to make sure everything is working right and to check for configuration errors. When you are managing a server yourself it's often better to do it yourself anyway so that you know how everything is configured. This should make later maintenance easier.

Now $150 an hour does seem a little high to me under the circumstances but it's their business and their decision. Just as it is your decision whether you will do business with them.
