should you have the right to "unlock" / hack the script to be able to move it to a different host?
Thats what contracts are for. In this case yo and hosting company do a contract saying that you should stay X months with them, otherwise you pay the difference.
Thats usually how it works in cell phone business as well. You get subsidized phone but for that you must stay 24 months or whatever.
