Patrick Ruddell is a domainer who publishes a popular domain industry blog at ChefPatrick.com. Patrick has distinguished himself quickly in the online arena being one of the first domainers to include informative videos on his blog site which focuses on domain industry news and events.

While Patrick is self-admittedly rather new to domaining, he has shown incredible focus, creativity, and entrepreneurship in his approach to becoming a part of the greater domain name community. He recently wrote about registering his first .US domain name, SuicideHelp.US.

Using this quality generic domain, Patrick has built a valuable resource for those suffering from depression. The site contains emergency phone numbers and useful links for individuals who may be experiencing suicidal thoughts, and are in search of help. The site can also be beneficial to loved ones, friends, and family in search of options, and can function as an excellent launch point for people needing quick answers & resources.

The SuicideHelp.US website, which is very easy to navigate, is built on WordPress (a favorite of domainers and domain developers across the internet). Personally, I very much like the domain name. It is clear, descriptive, and logical. Easy to remember and easy to communicate verbally. The .US web address is also very fitting for the subject matter. In my view, Patrick has taken a great domain name and paired it with content that exactly matches the domain name focus, thus creating an end result that offers true value.

In closing, it is rewarding to see the domaining community have so many bright, business-oriented people within its ranks. As is so often the case, domainers demonstrate professionalism, produce legitimate accomplishments, and are educating the world that domainers are not cybersquatters.

Domainers are everyday investors, developers, and entrepreneurs who simply enjoy working in the realm of domain names.
