(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- A Utah-based web hosting provider BlueHost (www.bluehost.com) has temporarily taken down a US-based Christian website that blamed the recent New Zealand earthquake on gays and lesbians.
The devastating earthquake hit Christchurch early last week, causing the deaths of at least 147 people and as much as $15.1 billion in damages. The US-based ChristchurchQuake.Net claims the quake was the vengeful act of God, punishing homosexuals for their lifestyles and actions.
Within hours of the disaster, the website posted a message claiming that the "quake was a warning from God".
Thousands of angry Internet users emailed and sent complaint letters to BlueHost regarding the website, which is hosted on its servers.
The website currently directs visitors to a parked page with the following notice: "The website you were trying to reach is temporarily unavailable. Please check back soon."
ChristchurchQuake.Net wrote on its website that the earthquake happened on the same day the Christchurch gay ski week was about to launch.
The site warned Christchurch citizens in this message:
"Do we really want to tempt fate and risk another quake? The morning of the Christchurch earthquake was the opening of 'Gay Ski Week'. The highlight of the week was a party featuring two of NZ's ugliest and butchest lesbians as the main event in Queenstown. Squadrons of "imports" were to have been brought in for the week — from Sydney's now booming gay and lesbian area around Oxford St, between the CBD and Kings Cross."
