If you have a domain you aren't currently using, you can redirect it to the new server wikileaks is on and if you don't want to redirect your domain name, you can simply create a subdomain like wikileaks.mydomain.com and have that redirected to the wikileaks server.

Tons of people have started doing it already:

Just point your domains or subdomains to: http://213.251.145.96

This link and the comments on it gives me hope that we will see a grand ol' Streisand Effect in action. The government's protestations will only strengthen Wikileaks.

Government is shutting down domains pointing at the server. Hes suggesting you point yours to it to help. Really doesn't help unless people know your domain is active and pointing to it in the first place.

While wikileaks lost wikileaks.org, they have a few other domains, but they can easily be pulled by the issuer of the domain. ICANN for example, which issues .coms, is essentially a US government entity.

Servers have an IP address and for a domain to be directed towards the IP address, domain name servers are required. When domain name servers refuse to 'host' domains, the domain becomes useless.

I would join if it weren't for the fear of "aiding and abetting."
