You'll probably need the help of a programmer to figure this all out. If you are the one that set up and pays for the web hosting, you can certainly get things back in order, though it may take a call or two to the hosting service company. Your next programmer can certainly figure out what needs to be done and make it happen. Sounds like your last programmer may have gotten in over his head. Word of mouth is how a lot of people find programmers. There are also a number of boards where you can post a bid for work you need done. Make sure your next programmer has experience with the specific systems and languages your system uses. Ask them for a reference or two and call those to see how their previous work was received. |

If the domain belongs to you and has your contact information attached to it, then you can just transfer the domain to another host or contact the registrar and explain the situation to them. If the programmer registered the domain in his name then you may have some difficulty getting control of it. In all, it sounds like you need the help of someone familiar with setting up websites who can help you work through your issues. As much as I'd like to help, this is more of a Q and A forum than a job board and you'll do much better with someone local. Good luck. |

Assuming everything is in order and the "things" created was done without obfuscating, compiling or encrypting the source code what you need to do is to hire another programmer. Preferably with expertise in the language or languages that your current scripts are coded in. Your webhost, assuming you are on a shared server, should definately be able to tell you what subdomains that you have on your account. |
