In the lead-up to #APTLD84, our journey takes us to the last…. character of the APTLD alphabet, which is represented by .WS of Samoa and Computer Services Limited, its manager.
A 100% Samoa Owned Small Business with ISO 9001 certification, CSL is committed to excellence and creating innovative and flexible solutions for our clients.
In addition to domain names registrations, it provides strategic consulting technology services and managed services to commercial, not for profit and government organizations. They can mobilize the right people, skills and technologies to help organizations improve their performance.
Their Technology Services focus on developing robust, secure and stable technology solutions for one’s business. By incorporating common sense solutions into seemingly daunting deliverables, CSL can ensure at the start of the project that they will safely deliver the product to completion. Their services include:
Application & Web, Design & Development
Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) Integration
Data Cleansing & Conversion
Database Design, Development, & Maintenance
Architecture Solutions
ICT Solutions & Service, – to name a few.
Back to .WS, it is an abbreviation for “Western Samoa”, which was the nation’s official name in the 1970s when two-letter country codes were standardized. Although there are no geographic restrictions on registration of most second-level .ws domains, .org.ws, .gov.ws, and .edu.ws registration is restricted.
There are some juicy facts about .WS, such as:
Prior to March 14, 2008, .ws domains were not allowed to be transferred from one domain registrar to another.
The .ws country code has been marketed as a domain hack, with the ws purportedly standing for “world site”, website or web service, providing a “global” Internet presence to registrants, as it supports all internationalized domain names. A popular use for the domain is for news organizations for URL shortening purposes, mainly suffixed as “(organization name)ne.ws“.
Due to its potential popularity, a sliding scale of prices is operated by the registrar, depending on the brevity of the desired domain. Domains with four characters or more are competitively priced while three-, two-, and single-character domains have their own pricing tiers, quickly scaling into thousands of United States dollars.
In 2016, .ws gained popularity as one of the first domain name registries to offer emoji domain.
Last but not least, Don Hollander, the first ever GM APTLD, had for quite a while been the company’s CEO.
