.ws is the country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Samoa, delegated under the IANA root system. It's the clearest way to signal a genuine Samoa connection to visitors, customers, and search engines.
Requirements are set by Samoa's national registry and vary — some ccTLDs are open globally, others ask for proof of local presence such as a registered business or address. We confirm the exact requirements during checkout.
.ws is the official ccTLD for Samoa, assigned under the IANA root and managed by a national registry for the Pacific region. Some Oceania ccTLDs are known well beyond their home countries because of naming coincidences, but .ws still functions first and foremost as Samoa's national domain.
If you're operating in or serving Samoa directly, .ws adds a local signal that a generic extension can't. For international projects unrelated to Samoa specifically, it's worth double-checking that the extension's local association doesn't create confusion for your audience.
