Natural disasters are horrific. No doubt you’ve seen the sad news about the massive earthquake which hit the Caribbean island of Haiti, causing devastation and huge loss of life.
Donating to a charity is definitely one way to help the people of Port au Prince. There’s a fantastic post on DNForum about what domainers can do to help in another way. Member ‘companyone’ suggested the idea of registering domain names related to the disaster in order to forward visitors to charity websites, such as the Red Cross. This is an excellent idea as not only will increase the amount of donations for Haiti, it will stop domainers getting brandished as cyber-squatters or scammers. Saying that, the idea only exists because there are scammers and fraudsters in the World. If you find somebody with a fake charity website, please report it to authorities straight away.
