Hi I was just wondering if someone can please help me out with a question i cant seem to find the answer for, it would be much appreciated. When you sign up with GDI do you have to sign up using a (.ws) domain name or can you sign up with a (.com) domain name instead, and if this is allowed will you still be eligible for the affiliate progam. If you are not able to sign up with a (.com) instead of a (.ws) domain name, just say you decide you want to purchase a (.com) domain name AFTER joining GDI, is it true that you will pay an extra $10 a month on top of the $10 you are already paying which would make it $20 a month, and will (.com) domain name come with hosting as well.
I hope someone can help me with this question as i need to know for a project i am working on,
Thank you.

We are the official .WS domain name registry. We do have other extensions available, like .COM domains. New members may register with a .COM domain, if the domain name is fully available. Please note, there is an additional ANNUAL maintenance fee for registering a NON-.WS domain. The AMF will vary for each extension. For .COM domains, the AMF is $10 a year. All AMF must be paid the same day the domain name is registered. The first $10 MONTHLY fee will be secured once the free 7-day trial period has been completed (for new accounts).
A domain name can NOT be changed, once it has been registered. If a member registers with a .WS domain and later wishes to have a .COM domain, they may simply login to their account, register a second domain, secured payment, including the AMF if it’s a .COM domain, and once the account shows 2 domains, they may request to cancel their original registered domain.
The MONTHLY $10 fee includes hosting, 10 email accounts per domain, SiteBuilder and the Invitation system. The $10 MONTHLY fee is for every registered domain name, regardless of the extension.
To be active in the Affiliate program, all members must register at least one domain name. The extension of the domain does not matter.
