That doesn't matter at this point. Regardless of whether the copyright is registered or not, the ISP (webhosting provider), if U.S. based, must respond to a valid, properly served DMCA notice.
If the client of the ISP counters the DMCA notification, that's when copyright registration comes into play.
Again, at this point, the webhost hasn't responded at all, and that's a violation of the DMCA law - can lose their safe harbor status.
