Depending on the complexity of the web site. If it is a fairly simple web site you could go to each page of your site, and right click some where in the body of your web page and then click "view source". At this point click "Edit" and click "select all" from the edit menu. Now click "Edit" again and this type click "Copy". Now you can paste the copied source code into Notepad, Word, or any web editor. Do this for each page on your web site. Your old Webmaster will never be the wiser.

You can copy each page, and each image, to your hard drive, then put it on a different site of your choosing. I'd suggest a separate directory for your pages and your images, and give them meaningful names so you can more easily reconstruct the site in a different location. You may have a lot of tweaking to do, if you're not experienced with this. After you've saved everything to your drive, contact the webmaster about taking it down, or let them take it down, if that's the situation.

I hope this helps. Good luck!

I agree Donna. Save all of your stuff and contact the Webmasters because at that point they still have control over it. They can still upload stuff to it and you don't want that. Also, if they delete it all, you have it all saved.

You will need to remember to pull ALL the images (those in a banner, on the page etc.). You can copy and paste the code as mentioned but when you recreate it you will need to keep the same directory structure.

More than likely you have something like this for directory structure:

Assets
Images (most of your images will be here)
stylesheets (if used)
jsfiles (if used)
html
all your .html pages except the home page
index.html (your home page)

I hope this makes sense. I assume that you can't just FTP the files down from the hosting site?

If you PM the URL name I could take a look at the code for you.
