I was thinking that maybe if the client set up a new hosting package with the same host they could transfer his site to this but the hosting company doesn't even want to talk to the client.
After days waiting for a reply to his ticket he phoned a few times explained the situation but got these emails.

You will not be receiving any support from our company. You need to go
to ****** direct as we are not the registrar for this domain.
Please do not call again.



Hello,

We are not the registrar for this domain. Please do your research properly in
future as we have a very busy workload and opening tickets on our system
without good reason is equal to abuse.

Closing this ticket.

Rgds,

Senior Administration Team
If they are not the registrar you're asking the wrong company. Maybe they're hosting the website, but another company is registrar for the domain name. If it takes them days to reply to tickets they don't sound like a great host anyway.

It's not as simple as copying data from the current account to yours. Legally to the host, they are not your files, whichever way you look at it. If they provide them to you, they have breached their responsibility to their direct client (the missing designer).

If you PM or post the domain here we can check the registrar for you.
