Their website doesn't give me confidence in their abilities when it comes to hosting either. There is no such thing as "unlimited" disk space either.
Sorry, it seems my post came across the wrong way. I'm not in anyway suggesting you are going to rip them off.
Good luck with it and don't forgot to show us the finished site.
Nope, I'm not a developer.
I didn't say there was anything wrong with off the shelf products, but lots of people claim to be "web designers" when they simply upload Joomla and a theme.
Do you have the relevant skills to design & develop a website? Or is "create a website" just uploading Joomla with a few tweaks to a template?
I guess it depends on the functionality they want on the website really, I'm not a fan of per hour rates I'd much prefer a "fixed price".
Plesk doesn't have any facility to extract a .zip, but I think there is a Joomla component that will do it for you. Or ask your host to extract it for you directly on the server.

Give them a call/email and tell them Carl from CS New Media sent you, they should be able to help you.
Why are you concerned for them?
The best people to call are social services or the NSPCC, of if you think the child is in immediate danger or at risk the police.
They've admitted that they have made a mistake and want you to go in and sort it. So do the right thing and go and sign the paperwork.
If you don't go in and sign it, they will just arrange for the car to be towed away as it doesn't belong to you - simple!
You would need a VPS/Dedicated Server for that sort of disk space, it just would not be feasible to offer it on shared hosting. For a busy VLE a VPS/Dedicated Server is the best way to go anyway.
