seems premature to me--waiste of money.
If he does sue you, then you might actually be able to counter-sue. If you
really had an agreement, even an oral one, that you would design a website
for him and in exchange he would pay you to host it, but not for the actual
content, and he never paid you to host, then he owes you the lost hosting
revenue--you never said if he was going to pay you for hosting, were you
doing that for free too?
If he wasn't giving you anything, then I don't think there is any valid
contract. My very limited understanding of contracts is that there has to
be a two way exchange for contracts to be valid. If you just give him
something for free, then it isn't a contract, it's just you being nice.
That's why a lot of non-monetary contracts specifically spell out what
you're getting in exchange since it's not money.
My $0.02.

Well, the domain name HE owns. He has since transferred it to a different
host. The website I designed was actually online for a while, but he didn't
pay the host so he was canceled. So all that I did was design the site, for
free, provided I run the site. He is now threatening to sue me, but who
knows. Any ideas? Should I contact a lawyer?
