Title: Is GDI the only compant to register .ws domains?? Post by: TonyHsieh on January 24, 2011, 11:26:59 AM my team is disscusing about this and we found this page from godaddy
http://www.godaddy.com/tlds/ws.aspx?tld=ws&ci=41914 it seems there are many company able to register .ws domains but in some chinese page says "GDI is the only to register .ws domains" is that true??

Yes, other hosting companies can register a .ws website. But here is the catch. Go to that page again and click on "View full price chart". You will notice that .ws costs more than .com and many other domains. The reason is that Global Domains International, Inc. is the official registrar of .ws domains. So, I *believe* that in order for another company to offer .ws, they must pay GDI a fee to use it. Hope this helps clear up some confusion. And if I'm wrong I'm sure our moderators will step in and clear it up further. Great question though! Vincent Parker Title: Re: Is GDI the only compant to register .ws domains??
