Our Mission
Each day, tens of thousands of our precious domain names are
bought by greedy corporations and squandered for non-sustainable
commercial development.
The Domain Name Preservation Society was founded to combat this
reckless consumption of our resources in the simplest and most
effective manner possible.
We ask our contributors to purchase threatened domain names and
point their records at our
Domain Name
Sanctuary, where the domain names can exist peacefully in
a near-wild state.
How To Contribute
DNPS does not accept monetary contributions of any kind. Instead, we
ask for your direct help with our domain name conservation effort.
Here are the steps you must follow to protect a domain name:
- Register the domain name. You may wish to consult the list of
inexpensive registrars below.
- Arrange for the A records for the domain and any subdomains
you wish to protect to point to the address 66.180.195.221
(same as the address for sanctuary.domainpreserve.org).
If you contribute to our effort, please
let us know.
We hope to offer free DNS for domains in the sanctuary in the
future.
Buying Domains
We receive many inquiries about buying and selling domains.
However, the DNPS does not own any of the domains in the sanctuary,
and we are categorically opposed to buying and selling domains
like common chattel. If you still wish to make such an inquiry,
you will have to contact the individual owner of the domain
directly. To determine who owns a domain, please use a
Whois service, such as
http://www.internic.net/whois.html.
