Dot WS Domain Registration

If you are searching for a good domain name, but it is not available for registration with your preferred extension, one alternative we can offer you is the country-specific domain extension for Samoa – dot WS. The TLD was launched in 1995 using the abbreviation for Western Samoa, the name of the state until 199.9 and its popularity has been increasing globally since then. If you wonder what is so extraordinary about it, just have a look at the actual abbreviation “ws” – for quite a lot of people it is short for “web site” or “world site”, which makes a .WS domain good for any type of website, regardless if it is local or global.

The dot WS country-code extension is administrated by the SamoaNIC organization under the supervision of the local Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Since there are no prerequisites on who can acquire a .WS domain name, any individual or business can get one. With our firm, it will take minutes for your domain to be accessible on the Internet. Transfers between domain service providers are also permitted, so you can move your .WS over to us and start managing both your domain and your web hosting account from a single place instead of going through two different providers. For the transfer, you will have to request the domain’s transfer key from the present domain provider.
