    I need urgent help with a domain transfer.
    As I was banned for 'archiving site' on dreamhost, I switched to bluehost.
    Unfortunately I had a domain registered there, they gave me a 15 digit code.
    I paid for the transfer at godaddy, and now awaiting authentication, but as the email on the whois database is of dreamhost, I can do nothing...and their service is pretty bad after being banned >.<

    So what can I do next? I have paid for the transfer...

    Try GoDaddy phone support, they're pretty good for stuff like this.

    ps. What does "archiving site" mean?
    Does that mean using Dreamhost as a big online harddrive?

    Like I said, I've already emailed them :(

    @Dreamerr: No, a virtual pinball forum containing about 8GB of data and 300GB bandwidth/month.

    Glen is going to click on the accept link for you I believe.

    After you get this straightened out, move the emails over to a public host like gmail and save yourself this trouble next time.

    You said before that the admin email on your domain is of dreamhost right now. This would make me assume that you have domain privacy. If you specifically request for them to disable the domain privacy, they should understand what you mean and whatever email you originally registered with should appear in the WHOIS. That way, the approval email can make it to your inbox so you can use that authorization code. Good Luck!

    They change the WHOIS email and confirmed the transfer at their side. After a few days the domain was transfered :)
