You're on the right lines, but no.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Correct.
Thank the lord for that, your turn tomorrow.

See the way to a hash before an evil goblin concealed itself with a depleted sack (11)
See the way to a hash- crypt is a C function to produce a password hash
evil goblin - orc
concealed itself - hid
cryptorchid - an animal with one or both testes absent from the scrotum - a depleted sack
I wasn't sure about the crypt bit, but I liked that it was computery so chucked it in anyway.

Blimey! Now I'm not sure whether I should be impressed or annoyed.
a C function, indeed!

I have a small job on and I'm not too sure how to proceed, but as this is a concept/idea/WTF type thing I decided to throw it in the bear/beer* pit and see what happens.
A small chiridy I am involved with are having some issues with their web-site and the guy who built it for them. The whole things is built on Wordpress 3.8.5 and as it stands there are two sites - one English and one Hungarian. The domains are due to expire in February and one of the trustees checked up on everything last month to find out the domains where registered to the guy who set up the sites. This has since been rectified. They have decided not to renew the contract with the developer and have asked for admin rights, these have mostly been provided for the English site, but not the Hungarian one.
Now I get to my query. Is there any way we can go to the hosting company and get full control and if so what approach would be recommended? It is my intention to help them out and get full control. Once we get control, then there will be some re-writing to be done and that, trust me, will not use Wordpress.
Any other ideas on what I should be looking for would be greatly appreciated.

I'd think that you should be able to contact them to arrange a transfer of the hosted site - however, you'd probably need some arrangement with the guy who set it up (i.e. he'd need to be able and willing to confirm the transfer).
Obviously the hosting company wouldn't be able to transfer the site just on a single request - you could (for example) be a customer who had payments outstanding to the developer, so the hosting company would want to protect themselves from that.
The other way (possibly cheaper and easier, depending on the site) would be to set up a copy of the site and update the DNS.

That looks unlikely as, to use a technical term, he's being a shitard. The domain is safe, so we may need to just move the hosting and reimplement a dodgy site.
Guess who needs to build a web site in 7 days?

Or as they say in technical circles "Re-implement the solution"

It is not clear to me from your question, but who is the OWNER of the domain name?

The owner is the charity.

So no problem around the domain...
The other question you should ask to who the CODE belongs...If the original developer gave up on the English site I can't see why not on the Hungarian one...
There is no way to settle it with the developer?
In any case - I never heard of a hosting company involved in such problem, they at most closing sites proved to violate licences...However you will not loose nothing (maybe some time) by asking...
As the domain belongs to you (to the charity) you can easily set up a new hosting (if I understood right you are not interested in WP) and point the domain to that host...The only problem is. if the original developer has content that you need and can't retrieve from different source...

Thanks.
It looks like we will have to have a conversation with the hosting firm and another round of discussions with the devil leper.

Depending on the requirements, Wordpress might be a perfectly good choice for building a website.

Was that guy contracted or was he involved in the charity ? I've set up numerous websites for different people/charities, but it would never occur to me to register the domain to my own name !?

That *might* be the case if you are the one getting the invoices, but the hosting company would need to give you new credentials without the developer knowing it (otherwise he could change it back). The best is, as you mentioned, to write another site hosted elsewhere and redirect on it now that you got a hand on the domain. Using a website copier could help you rebuild the content, but since it is frameworked, it is not gonna be easy...
