Is the .com name you've wanted taken? The available pool of .com addresses has been drying up, making it harder for businesses to compose a functional name for their domain. Many businesses are choosing the new opportunities available by registering names with the two letter top level domains of foreign nations.

.ws 100% global, works like .com

The .ws top level domain (TLD) has numerous availability of quality, easy to remember .ws domain names. So if "yourcompany.com" is taken, "yourcompany.ws" can still be available—and ".ws" names work 100% globally, just as ".com" names do.

$70 two year registration

The fee for registering a .ws domain name is $70 for the first two years. Thereafter, the cost of renewal is $35 per year. (Some other TLDs are $40-$50 per year.) Your .ws domain name must have between 4 and 59 characters, not including the .ws extension.

If you want shorter names there is a higher fee. Three-letter names (like abc.ws) have a registration fee of $1000 per year ($2000 for two years minimum registration). Two-letter names (like oz.ws) are $2500 per year ($5000 for two years minimum registration).

who is .ws?

The .ws domain represents the country of Samoa, which was formerly referred to as Western Samoa. It's easy to think of .ws as WebSite. The .ws TLD is intended for use by the general public, companies, or other organizations—the same way a .com can be used. ".ws" is an officially sanctioned top level domain recognized by every country in the world that has Internet access, and needs no special software for its usage.

The largest nameserver is hosted at a co-location facility with multiple DS3 connections to every major Internet backbone. Secondary nameservers are on UUNET, AT&T, IBM, and Telstra dedicated connections providing backup. Visitors will ALWAYS be able to find your .ws domain.

WebSite.ws

The .ws domain is administered by the WebSite.ws registry. A registry is a regional organization or entity that's responsible for assigning domain names and Internet addresses. Each country maintains its own registry through a certain company or organization. The registry's responsibility is to record and update the domain names, along with information associated with them for the rest of the Internet.

.ws privacy

If you register a traditional domain like ".com" ".net" or ".org" anyone in the world can get your address or phone number by doing a "whois" search on your domain name. If you register a name with WebSite.ws, your personal privacy is of highest concern. Your personal contact information is given out only under strictly specified circumstances.

WebSite.ws offers you a safe and secure way to be contacted. If someone looks up your domain name on their Name Search server, they can leave a private message for you. You can then choose whether or not to contact them.
