Let me paste some emails to get you a sense of the problem:

"belsambar.net"'s Registration expires on 2007-07-04!
(Note: if you look at the whois data for this domain, you MAY
see an expiration date of one year later. This DOES NOT mean
the domain has been renewed! The registry "auto-renews" all
domains, but they are then deleted if not EXPLICITLY renewed.)
This domain will expire unless you explicitly renew it at the
Domain > Registration of our web panel at
https://panel.dreamhost.com/?tree=domain.registration
** Even *if* your renewal is free, your hosting is not!
** If you renew a domain for free and then cancel your hosting,
you will then have to pay the $9.95 for the domain registration.
** Even if you let your registration expire, your *hosting* will
renew and you WILL BE CHARGED unless you close your account at:
https://panel.dreamhost.com/?tree=billing.accounts
Also, you might want to change your renewal settings using the
Domain > Registration area...
"Yes" : We will always make sure your domain gets renewed.
"Ask" : Your current setting, we just send you these emails.
"Let Expire" : We will not bug you, nor will we renew your domain.
Remember, if your domain registration expires:
1. Your web site at that domain will stop working.
2. Your email at that domain will stop working.
3. After about 30 days the domain will be available for anyone
in the world to register again!
Thanks for choosing DreamHost!

Seems pretty banal and everyday, huh? Just need to renew my domain...
Well, I tried. However, their panel seems broken:

subject Panel not working, need to renew domain registration
mailed-by gmail.com
The panel (panel.dreamhost.com) is not currently working. To be specific, it merely reloads the login screen every time I try to log in. I figured I might have the password wrong, so I had it sent to me... I don't. I need to do some DNS changes and I need to renew the www.belsambar.net domain, and I can do neither if I can't log in.

If I can't get this resolved (And I really don't see any way I can, unless dreamhost happens on this post, or that mailer didnt TOTALLY delete my 'unauthorized support ticket'), belsambar will go down in... three days time. Z2 along with it. I am going to try my best to make sure this doesn't happen.
If worst comes to worst, I will be able to give you current backups of both your FTP space and your SQL tables, as I can still access these even if the domain goes down.
