SamoaNIC

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

SamoaNIC is the official registrar for the .ws top-level domain, owned by Samoa (formerly Western Samoa).

The .ws delegation was created on 14 July 1995 by Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) according to the country's preexisting ISO 3166-1 two letter country code.[1]

The top level domain is sponsored by the Samoan Ministry of Foreign Affairs & Trade. SamoaNIC is run by Computer Services Ltd, based in Apia.[2]

Jurisdiction

Like all country code top level domains (ccTLDs), .ws does not fall under ICANN's remit; ICANN are only responsible for commercial and generic TLDs (com, net etc.)[3]
