SamoaNIC
SamoaNIC is the official registrar for the .ws top level domain, owned by Samoa (formerly Western Samoa).
History
[edit]The .ws delegation was created on 14 July 1995 by 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
[edit]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]
