How to find the former hosting company of a website

Ok I have a friend who had a website but the web address is no longer pointing to an active page.

http://dgbsalesinc.com/

The email for the website goes through microsoft but he has know idea who was hosting the site.  He has access to his registrar but they are not his hosting company.

How in the heck can we find where he needs to get access to fix his site?  We have access to all possible emails which may have been used as the hosting site primary address but nothing exists in his email history suggesting who that may have been.

Thank you for any ideas.

Ok doing more research it looks like it was hosted by Office Live website.... How do I get access to the data it had?

The below information references a Microsoft message but the link is defunct.

Former Office Live Small Business customers may retrieve their web site contents by following the instructions on the OLSB web site recovery archive.

It would appear that the site is not being hosted at this time.

dgbsalesinc.com doesn't appear to resolve at the moment, so we are unable to tell you who is hosting the website. That usually means:
