You see it more and more that domain hyacking. My question is, when you are not with Verisign, or directnic, are you "more" safe?

You are more safe, in theory, if you are with a company who cares about their customers and tries to resolve fraud issues.
If Network Solutions knows that a name is stolen, they often won't do anything about it. Even if you can prove it to them, they won't give the name back to you. They tell you to sue the other guy who stole it. If you deal with another registrar, one who cares about your business, then they can take the name back from the thief once you prove it's stolen and give it back to you. They can then tell the thief to sue them or you if he has a problem with a stolen name being given back to the real owner.
If the name gets transferred out of your registrar by the thief before you can stop it, then you are really fucked. Once there are two registrars involved, you better get a lawyer and be patient if you ever want your name back.
That name is still at Network Solutions it looks like, so they could give it right back to him. I doubt they will. It did not expire, it shows a 1999 registration date.
