You should own all of it. The domain, hosting account, design files and code that your business paid for should be registered in your company name, with you listed as the owner, even if an agency manages them day to day.
Problems arise when an agency registers the domain or hosting in its own name, uses proprietary tools that cannot be moved, or withholds files after a dispute. Some builders also lock content into their platform so you cannot leave without rebuilding.
Settle ownership in the contract before work begins, and keep a record of every login and renewal date.
