The common crisis.

WHAT HAPPENS

Communication stops Work is unfinished, or the site needs attention Nobody can reach them

WHAT TO ESTABLISH FIRST

What you control: domain, hosting, site access

Where the domain actually is Where the site is hosted Whether you have a backup

WHAT TO DO

THE RENEWAL RISK

If they held the domain and stop paying, it expires.

Check when.

IF YOU CANNOT ACCESS THE DOMAIN

Establish who the registrant is.

Recovery depends on that and may be possible.

IF YOU CANNOT ACCESS HOSTING

If you have the domain, you can point it at new hosting and rebuild or restore.
