Will my ".WS" domain work like a ".COM" domain does?

 

Absolutely! There is no difference between ".WS" and ".COM" addresses, except for the fact that we have virtually unlimited availability of quality, easy-to-remember domain names.

Do I need special software for .WS to work?

 

No, ".WS" domains work exactly the same as ".COM" domains, so you don't need any special software or registry changes to make it work. Unlike others who claim to offer new TLD's, ".WS" is an officially sanctioned TLD recognized and completely accessible by every country in the world that has Internet access.

Can I use my ".WS" domain for my email address?

 

You can use your ".WS" domain for anything you want. If you have your own server, you can treat it like any other domain name and use it for web, email, ftp, chat or anything else you can think of.

If you don't have your own server, you can still have your own domain. Register.com.cy offers several optional services in addition to domain name registration, which allow you to have all the benefits without the huge costs involved in hosting your own server.

My ISP is constantly having "outages." Will my .WS domain be affected by these problems?

 

Absolutely not! The ".WS" domain uses 5 DNS servers hosted throughout the world with multiple, redundant Internet connections. Our largest nameserver is hosted at a co-location facility with multiple DS3 connections to every major Internet backbone. Secondary nameservers on UUNET, AT&T, IBM and Telstra dedicated connections provide backup. Even if one provider should experience connectivity problems, visitors will ALWAYS be able to find your ".WS" domain.
