If the host is down when Googlebot tries to access your pages, then
those pages may disappear from the index until Googlebot can crawl
them again. In webmaster tools, do the pages you want indexed appear
in the crawl errors section? If so, then Googlebot was unable to
access them.

If you are moving the site to a new host and the pages are available
the next time Googlebot tries to access them, then you should see them
in the index again soon after that.

You're right that requesting reinclusion is only for sites that have
violated the guidelines. This isn't the situation in your case, and
there's no need to contact us to let us know that your site has moved
and is available again, as Googlebot will keep rechecking for it
automatically.
