Where did .ws come from and how good a domain is it?
 | View Full Version : .ws where did it come from? Tom Sawyer 02-26-2005, 08:03 PM It comes from Western Samoa. I do not know if it is good. I only know that it is not cheap. Georgecooldude 02-26-2005, 08:08 PM Western Samoa? --Why choose .WS (WebSite)? An all-purpose TLD if there ever was one! .WS (WebSite) is another great way to snag a short, catchy name. It's a must-have addition for any domains you currently have registered, too. According to Godaddy.com :S Tom Sawyer 02-26-2005, 08:20 PM Originally posted by Georgecooldude Western Samoa? Yes. Although it is more known as WebSite, it is the country extension of Western Samoa. Visit Samoa (http://www.visitsamoa.ws/) Western Samoa Government (http://www.govt.ws) badhosts.org 02-26-2005, 08:20 PM yeah, its westerm samoa, the "website" bit is just a marketting ploy (like .tm is turkmenistan, not "trademark") By telling people it stands for website they make alot more sales, but its officially western samoa besides....WS can stand for whatever you want hehe Bill-zilonhost 02-26-2005, 09:07 PM It could stand for "We suck". egiex 02-26-2005, 09:25 PM hahaha or just westerm samoa Toeki 02-27-2005, 05:06 AM Originally posted by Random Nick It comes from Western Samoa.

WS stands for Western Samoa but its being marketed as WebSite. eSology 02-27-2005, 08:10 AM I wouldn't wast my money if I were you unless cash is no big deal. If that is the case then go ahead and pick up some .ws, .cc, .in, .de, etc, etc and maybe one day the rest of the world will realize that other extensions exist besides .com, .net, and .org. firestarter 02-27-2005, 02:23 PM I always knew that it was .web site :( Anyway thanks fro the info. |
