Oh OK. I thought it meant getting a new website address.
No, the only data lost will be what was generated after they took a backup image. That's why data will be lost. They already made the backup and that's what they'll restore. This conversation will only partially exist when it has been restored. Anything newer than when he backed up will be lost.
The domain name should remain the same. There's no reason for it to change. The registrar could cancel the domain name, but that's not what's happening here. In this case, the hosting company got tired of the abuse complaints. The site clearly violates the rules for most every hosting company on the planet.

You can also always ask to verify that the domain name will remain the same, but given the description of what's going on then I'd expect the domain name to remain the same. The outage, on the other hand, could last a little while. I've asked what they need for resources, but they have not replied.
