Who ends up owning your website after the designer finishes?

Halfway through building my site, I suddenly realized that I failed to ask whom the rights to the website belong to. My designer uses their own account for hosting the site, and I have no idea how things will go if we decide to split up or if they stop working. While researching information about web design Bristol studios, I was struck by how rarely they mentioned this on their websites. Some talked about transferring the files upon completion, but nothing about transferring the domain, hosting or logins, which appear to be the important parts.

If you've had your site developed, did you own the domain and hosting from the very beginning or was everything owned by the designer? Have you experienced problems with accessing your site at any time? I'm especially interested to hear from those who solved this issue upfront.
