Info On Who Has The .ws Domain Name

Written by Business Correspondent

Tuesday, 15 April 2008

Following the public announcements on the internet by the Great Domains International (GDI) on how they landed a contract to market and manage the .ws domain, there have been public queries about who and how the .ws domain name was outsourced to by the Samoan Government.

The public records on the internet show that Computer Services Limited (CSL) is the adminstrative and technical contact for the .ws domain name. Therefore the GDI is a partner of CSL in the marketing and management of the .ws domain name.

A google search shows that the .ws domain name is recorded in the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) as follows
