Dot WS Domains

If you are searching for a good domain, but it is not available for registration with your desired domain extension, one alternative we can offer you is the country-specific extension for Samoa – .WS. The TLD was established in 1995 using the abbreviation for Western Samoa, the name of the state until 199.9 and its popularity has been increasing worldwide since then. If you are not sure what is so special about it, just have a look at the actual abbreviation “ws” – for many people it is short for “web site” or “world site”, which makes a .WS domain suitable for any kind of website, no matter if it is local or global.

The .WS country top-level domain extension is handled by the SamoaNIC organization under the supervision of the national Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Taking into account that there are no provisions on who can buy a dot WS domain, any person or organization can get one. With our firm, it will take minutes for your domain to be up and running. 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 firms. For the transfer, you will have to get the domain’s transfer authorization code from the present registration service provider.
