Multilingualism

A .WS domain may contain non-English letters.

Domain names in the DNS system are represented in punycode format. Regery services automatically convert names into a readable format to speed up domain selection and simplify domain management.

Widely Used National Domain Zone

The WS domain zone belongs to the type of generic national domain zones (gccTLD). On the one hand, it is a national ccTLD domain zone, and on the other hand, it is open to everyone, like a gTLD. Such zones include .WS, the domain zone of Samoa, which is often read as "website". And the .IO domain zone is the national domain zone of the British Indian Ocean Territory, and is used for developer and webmaster sites.

Territorial Domain Zone

WS is a national domain zone (ccTLD). These domain zones are reserved for countries, islands or states. They often consist of two characters, such as .UA, .US, .EU, .UK, .DE. There are also gccTLDs: on the one hand, such a domain zone refers to a country, and on the other hand, it is suitable not only for that country. For example, the Colombian domain zone .CO is often used by various companies around the world.
