Frequently asked questions about .ws

What is .ws?

+
The .ws is a domain extension (TLD) that you can use to give your brand a clearer, more relevant online identity. It works with websites, email and redirects like any modern domain.

Who can register a .ws domain?

+
In most cases, registration is open to everyone. If the registry sets specific rules, they apply to all registrars and we follow them during the registration process.

How much do registration, renewal and transfer cost?

+
Pricing is listed separately in the table on this page. If the registry classifies a name as a Premium domain, different pricing may apply.

Can I renew it after expiry?

+
Yes, there is usually a grace period for renewal. Duration and any restoration fees are set by the registry, so the safest approach is to renew on time.

Can I transfer .ws to DomainMarket?

Does it support DNSSEC and WHOIS privacy?

DNSSEC (DS records) can be enabled where supported by the TLD/registry. WHOIS privacy also depends on registry rules and the services available for that TLD.
