Most honest designers understand that they are being paid to provide a
service to their client, and that the client owns ALL information related
to the site, including login information. They also should have no trouble
if their client wants to find someone new to manage their site. Your client
is responsible to first end the working relationship with their current
designer and to make sure they are not bound by a contract. Then your
client should be able to get the login information from their current
designer.
As far as web hosting, many good web hosts offer a free transfer, and they
do it all the time so it shouldn't be an issue, just time consuming and
sometimes a bit complicated. Again, find out first if your client is under
a term agreement. There are lots of excellent host providers ... do a
search and you'll find a hefty list with pros and cons. Good luck!
