The difficulty completely relies on her knowledge of websites, hosts, and how soon she finds someone to maintain it.
If the website uses advanced coding like MySQL, XML, and other database type stuff, then she will need to either stick with the same host, which might be possible without continuing on with the company maintaining the site, or move to another host that offers the same set of tools. If she can do the latter, then all she need do is transfer the entire contents on the ftp, which I hope she has access to.
Updating and maintaining the site itself could prove difficult, however. Depending on who she's dealing with, she may very well not own anything on the site except the domain name. If a company creates a website entirely, then the code is their property, not hers. She is paying for the right to use the code and their services on her website for those 6 months most likely, and if she chooses to drop them, she probably can no longer legally use the code. Check the source code on her webpage, because it should have copyright claims at the top of the coding.
What's her webaddress, if you don't mind me asking?
