<p><font face="Calibri">Agreed. I would start by calling Dreamhost
to see if they can simply pay the bill with their own credit
card to get the site back up. Some hosts allow anyone to call in
a cc to pay for the hosting, knowing this is sometimes an issue.</font></p>

<div>Are all 3 contacts for the domain the same unavailable

If so, you might have to petition the registrar as to what
methods they will use to accept verification, such as a
drivers license, past paid bills, etc. to verify that the
