Despite extremely critical situation in Haiti,it seems that .HT domain name continue to function. Here are the basics facts,as reported by ICANN :

-ICANN have been in contact with the administrators of .HT and it seems that they are alive and well
-Some of the name servers for .HT are not reachable from outside Haiti due to significant damage to the local telecommunications infrastructure.
-Despite some of the DNS infrastructure not working as expected, the DNS is a highly resilient protocol, and the .HT domain continues to function through a number of sites located outside of Haiti.
"Functioning telecommunications can make a real difference in recovering from a major natural disaster. The naming and numbering infrastructure is just a small piece of this, but we want to be sure it continues to function so that it is not the obstacle that prevents people communicating."
