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

History

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]
