The host changing in multiplayer online games

While I'm playing the multiplayer online game, I am the host of the game.
If I get out of the game, can other player replace me as the host? namely the changing of host?
(peer server, game server)

Could you tell me what you think?

Note.
==> Not the joining of a server such as call of duty or day of defeat but the host changing in common multi-online game.

Thanks~
